I used to be strictly materialist and atheist. Now I’m pretty spiritual. Don’t necessarily follow a religion and don’t support bigotry but yeah, I’m fairly spiritual now. This is a recent development and I never thought I’d be here like 5 years ago.

    ‘social justice’.

    Used to care about it, but then I realized over time that it’s mostly bullies and wannabe bullies. And that most people who claim they are for social justice, aren’t. They are just for screaming and belittling other people who are different than them.’

    I realize social justice is something you do, not something you say. And the people doing the saying are very rarely doing anything to help the people they ‘advocate’ for so much as they are using them as a soapbox to grandstand about how they are ‘good’ and anyone who isn’t as ‘concerned’ as they are is ‘bad’.

      Sounds like your beef is less with actual “social justice” and more with bad actors co-opting the movement for their frivolous, performative virtue signalling

      I can definitely see this, and I do not doubt there are a LOT of people that fit your description perfectly.

      Of course action is better than words, but words are better than silence. Silence is acceptance.

      Narcissistic personality types gravitate toward this type of thing. Found that out the difficult way.
