Quote by Jacob L. Wright

“The promise of reward for righteousness applies only on the collective, systemic level, yet does not work for the individual. A society that perpetrates injustice against its own members will inevitably fall; however just as wicked individuals often get away with murder, the sinless often suffer.”

“Усе суспільство може повірити в міф, повірити й передати його наступним поколінням. Боги, феї, відьми - віра у річ не робить її справжньою. Террани століттями вірили в те що Земля пласка.”

“Our native gift of speech enables us to enter on the mental life of man by assimilating our cultural heritage. We come into existence mentally, by adding to our bodily equipment an articulate framework and using it for understanding experience. Human thought grows only within language and since language can exist only in a society, all thought is rooted in society.”

“The cultural left's emphasis on identity means that other ways people are oppressed are overlooked. Class is the biggest way that people are oppressed, by a system that is made entirely by humans. People who suffer poverty experience a lack of access to suitable housing, healthcare, education and other things. There are much worse things than being called by the wrong name or being asked where your 'really' from. With poverty comes coldness, pain, fear, confusion, hunger, and embarrassment.”

“[...] The social justice warriors paved the way for a Trump government through accusing people of wrongdoing for trivial reasons. This lets actual bad guys slip past. When everyone is bad, who is really bad? If every white person is guilty of racism and white supremacy, what makes Trump worse than any other white person? Or if all men are sexist, what makes Trump more sexist than any other man? When we are constantly hearing about microaggressions, and subtle sexism and racism, it gets hard to know if to take public accusations seriously anymore.”

“You're either an oppressed left winger or an oppressed right winger. Excluding right wing people from marginalised groups is not helpful for the oppressed. It shows that the social justice warrior movement is not truly concerned with improving conditions for marginalised people.”

“All that social justice warriors have succeeded at is losing popular support for left wing policies and politicians, and ultimately, sparking a major pushback on left wing values.

“The social justice warriors individualism atomises social justice. Both being oppressed and an oppressor are now personal problems for an individual to work on rather than society wide problems.”
