I am not particularly liberal, but on some things yes. Obviously anyone who uses the term social justice in a negative sense is being derisive, and has no respect for the virtue.

I embrace the term.

I believe in Social Justice. I will fight for that.

Go ahead, call me an SJW. I love the idea, and I vote.

Damned straight. Social justice implies some sort of punishment. Why would I support that?

I also vote.

So this is the thread where liberals pretend they’ve never heard a common term. Again. Yeah, I’m sure you have never heard of SJW’s or social justice warriors, just like you’ve never heard of celebrities or news people when they say something that makes you guys look bad.

Calling Trump a SJW is an...interesting take

To be honest, US society as a whole, has "progressed" to a relatively acceptable centrist driven political position. Equality of opportunity exists, as does a relative amount of government assisted societal security.

Those still pushing "progressive" politics are pushing some pretty far left ideas at this point.

Micah 6:8 says that we should "seek justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God." So no, I have no problem with seeking social justice.
