No, facts are facts.

"Talking points" are topics that people talk about. Facts be damned.

It was just as good as your remark. Except my response was based on how posts like that come off.

Like an elder in my family constantly watching fox, suddenly he repeats the word Marxist if you argue with him about politics but you know he just learned a new word but doesn't know what it means.

Granted, depending on who you follow the most you'll tend to get certain mannerism or language that you tend to subconsciously emulate. In order to stay informed, I feel you should read or listen to people with apposing views in order to confirm your suspicions. I admit, I listen to Rush and Mark Levine and watch Tucker. I also watch Don Lemmon and Chris Cuomo. I'll watch One America News and a creepy liberal channel called Free Speech or something. Anyway, all that these people do for me is confirm what I believed to be true. Yes, they can articulate things a lot better than most but if you start using words like "drive by media" most informed conservatives will know that term was coined by Rush. Similar to how liberals call EVERYTHING racist or create new terms like "systemic racism" or spin terms like "defund the police" to justify what they see wrong with America.

I feel you think social justice should be complying with what the mob wants, or else. I think it's a term used as a pawn to motivate the mob to continue to do what it wants for political gain by a certain party and ideology.

The Mob Rules
Black Sabbath

Close the city and tell the people that something's coming to call
Death and darkness are rushing forward to take a bite from the wall, oh

You've nothing to say
They're breaking away
If you listen to fools
The mob rules
The mob rules

Kill the spirit and you'll be blinded, the end is always the same
Play with fire, you burn your fingers and lose your hold of the flame, oh

It's over, it's done
The end is begun
If you listen to fools
The mob rules

You've nothing to say
Oh, they're breaking away
If you listen to fools

Break the circle and stop the movement, the wheel is thrown to the ground
Just remember it might start rolling and take you right back around

You're all fools
The mob rules

Social justice is an attempt to manipulate the natural social stratification that exists in society for purposes of equality. However, because these social strata's exist naturally and organically in life and are based upon social norms, behaviors and observations, it's much easier to "demand" change to them than to actually modify change in real life.


It's like trying to modify the course of a river. You may be able to change the course of a river short term but eventually, mother nature will kick in and the river will flow the way it wants. Same principal applies with social stratification.

Freebies and zero accountability for deadbeats, freaks and losers.

Physical and financial oppression for productive, law abiding tax payers.

Social Justice is the process of punishing innocent people in the present for perceived sins of the past in order to make whole (provide justice for?) people who have never actually been wronged.
