`I must introduce a parenthetical protest against the abuse of the current term 'social justice'. From meaning 'justice in relations between groups or classes' it may slip into meaning a particular assumption as to what these relations should be; and a course of action might be supported because it represented the aim of 'social justice', which from the point of view of 'justice' was not just. The term 'social justice' is in danger of losing its rational content--which would be replaced by a powerful emotional charge. I believe that I have used the term myself: it should never be employed unless the user is prepared to define clearly what social justice means to him, and why he thinks it just. [footnote in T.S. Eliot's "Notes Towards the Definition of Culture," 1948]`

It seems the people known as "Social Justice Warriors" have been around for awhile, even though they weren't called that until recently

We had a name for them even before 1948. Its called communists.

"Social Justice" is mentioned a lot in Communist texts

Also the word "Progressive"

They are early 20th century so the idea such ideas were not in the internet is unlikely methinks

social justice is a euphetism

Social Justice is an autism

@Chuckler Wonder what happens if you keyword search progress and progressive in fascist texts

social justice, isnt

Social justice unit 🚓

spaghetti and meatballs. His Noodliness truly blesses us with such divine food

It did take some time to spread, yes.. but the underlying ideas were there even in BBS days. That said, in the nascent 'net it was known closer as Politically Correctness.. and related concepts.

The concept of political correctness has been around since at least the 90s

70s

no wait 60s

Social justice has been around since the 60s

Macarthy was right

Political correctness is the method social justice is the idea

Macarthy wasnt well thought of back then. But he was right. His outing of communists was politically incorrect even back then.

Wasn't well thought of by whom though?

The media™️

Well, IdPol is the *idea*. >.>

@Samaritan™ The media and elites. Therefore it was pol incorrectness

The cis white man is too *socially powerful* and needs to be stopped.

@BabaBooey Just for you my macho burly dude

Identity /pol/ is both a method and an idea , the left has realized that its an effective strategy to gain power
