(''Sociology'') A Catch-all phrase designed to pin down an intellectual movement which, above all other priorities, as a horror of being ''pinned down'', since what can be pinned down can be analysed and exposed. [[Theory]], in this context, is “third-wave” post modernism: Critical theory (originally race, law and gender but now has forked into whatever happens to be the ''cause célébre'' du jour); social justice theory; wokeness; general [[snowflake]]ry. To be clear: the [[JC]] lines up with the [[libtard]]s here: a pluralistic, tolerant society that is maximally permissive of the non-aggressive interests of marginalised and which, all other things being equal, defends those interests in cases of conflict with a majority is an optimal one. But this isn’t to say there aren’t thoroughly unscrupulous people doing thoroughly unscrupulous things in the name of social justice. | |||
