The insane social justice thread

[actaeon277]

Is disagreeing with someone and holding a different opinion now a hate crime?

Have you not been following this thread?
Of course it is a hate crime.

I'm more amazed/horrified that people are so blatant about it now.

I figured it would take at least a few more years before these kind of arrests would start in the US.

The social and political landscape of the US is about to undergo a major transition. Now its just fringes. Soon the center will shift...

The center has already shifted. The foundation of emotional, feigned moral superiority is already established in the center. CNN is mainstream America. They seem very biased to the left to me but that's where the middle is now.

An outspoken socialist is running for president and getting not insubstantial numbers of votes. It is very clear the center has moved left.

The left has educated the last two generations. How can it not shift? Look at the transgender/vulgar thread. People are defending using ridicule to **** up opposition in order to force change on a society that may not want that particular change.

The taxpayers should be angry as well if it is a state college.

It's Oregon. that place does weird things to people.

I have a law school buddy who was at least as conservative as I was back then. We had essentially the same moral, social and political views. After graduation, he moved to Portland (he had family out there, but was not from there). He's now a big Bernie supporter...all the way.

I miss my old friend.

Then we should make sure there is no "free" college.

Almost the entirety of my family is from Vancouver, WA, across the river from Portland. With my crazy, right-wing (at least to them) views, I have become the black sheep.

They're just trying to **** people off. If they had called "multi-cultural awareness," which fits just as easily, they wouldn't have gotten any press. They're just being purposefully controversial.

My issue with "social justice" is that it has no specific meaning; it is whatever the proponents say it means, today. Having retired from law enforcement and working now in the legal field, I have very specific ideas of what "justice" is, and although they may sometimes require the application of discretion, they are not flexible.

From Wikipedia: Social justice is the fair and just relation between the individual and society. This is measured by the explicit and tacit terms for the distribution of wealth,

Social justice to me would be "Just leave me the eff alone."

In short it means whatever they want it to mean. It has no objective definition, so it is endlessly malleable.
