Of course social justice will become the dominant ideology. Why are all the comments here in denial?

Social justice is a militant ideology present in virtually every university, where there exists an academic empire devoted to marinating the best and brightest minds in "radical" politics. Its recruits become the next generation of the cognitive elite, using their careers in the information apparatus to spread their ideology to the lower classes, causing public opinion to shift further over time. Already, some of their once crazy ideas have leaked into the liberal consensus.

Social justice will succeed because it is a social lubricant. In the cities of the ruling class, there is no social circle in which professing a love of humanity and hatred of oppression will earn you anything but respect and status. In any country in any era, one's opinions tend to align with one's self-interest. If you're an ambitious, intelligent, wealthy, young Brahmin, what better way to signal your membership in the cognitive elite than by demonstrating your familiarity with the latest intellectual fashions? Social justice has always been radical chic.

Social justice will succeed because it provides the sensation of power. There are few pleasures as primal as ganging up to destroy your enemies, further amplified by righteous justification.

Social justice will succeed because it is an adaptive mutation of our present beliefs. Over the past two centuries, anti-racism, anti-sexism, etc. have been elevated to the highest of virtues, yet the inequalities they seek to abolish still seem to persist. Clearly, a higher dosage is needed. Thus, the next generation of "socially conscious" citizens must be even more anti-racist, anti-sexist, etc. than the ones before. Social justice fills that demand.

Basically, social justice is the latest fashionable crusade to which all right-thinking people will flock to to signal their boundless generosity of opinion in pursuit of their class interests.

Why fight history? I, for one, am content to watch this madness take over the world. Then at least I can say, I told you so, you fscking fools.
