Recently I wrote about how Epic is getting away with their shady hostile takeover tactics on the PC video game digital distribution market, primarily because the vast majority of gamers don't know or care about it.
This got me thinking that this is also one of the main reasons why social justice has successfully infiltrated all aspects of western society, with their draconian rules and Orwellian ideology.
Some years ago a friend of mine posted on Facebook a link to a newspaper article talking about a plan to introduce full-on social justice teaching into Finnish schools. The whole shebang, no holds barred. Teachers and students would be forbidden from using the words "boy" and "girl" (which was used in the title of the article in question), they would be taught about "gender fluidity" and all that jazz, they would be taught about their own unearned privileges because of being white... The whole shebang.
My reaction to that article was that of sheer horror.
His reaction? Dismissive laughter. Haha, boys and girls cannot be called boys and girls anymore? Once again somebody in some authority position came up with just another silly idea.
His reaction to it was very dismissive, as if it were just a harmless and innocuous silly idea by some bureaucrat, or something. Just another instance of some school forbidding certain words.
When I commented to him in Facebook about the social justice ideology infecting Finnish schools, I kid you not, he had never even heard of "social justice", or anything related to it. All that was completely news to him.
And even when I gave a short explanation and a few links to read, and examples of how this precise thing has gone too far in schools in other countries, his attitude was still dismissive. He just didn't really care. In fact, his response gave a bit of a hint of having a "what's wrong with supporting the rights of minorities?" vibe.
I think this is the main danger, and the main reason why social justice has been so successful in infiltrating everything, including schools: Most people either don't know, or don't really care. They are dismissive, or even deluded into being supportive, because they are completely unaware of the details and the consequences.
There's a de facto civil war going on in many cities in the United States and some other countries because of this. People's rights are being eroded one by one in many countries. And the majority of people are completely oblivious to it. Haha, what a silly little thing they are introducing to schools...
