#2: On Selling "Social Justice."

"Social Justice" is a phrase in the Orwellian Post-Modern lexicon of verbal flatulence. Post modernism is nothing other than politically motivated obscurantism, so let's stick to what "Social Justice" issues are really about. They are about who gets to have what, and how much of it. They are about the distribution and possible re-distribution of goods and services. There's nothing else to them.

Theories of this kind are introduced when people are looking for narratives with which to market the unmarketable, with which to sell the implausible, with which defend the indefensible. Social justice is name of the doctrine that wants to "justify" the forcible removal of the goods of one person to give to other people. On the face of it, this is a hard sell, which is why it needs an obscure barrage of bullshit with which to shovel it to masses only too happy to find out that their desire for the wealth of others is actually praiseworthy and "right." The point of "Social Justice" lies in the magical transformation of theft into virtue. People don't mind stealing quite as much as stealing without a "story" to give their stealing moral camouflage.
