About this listen
Social justice is not justice - it is a dogma that divides society into identity groups and foments division, anger, and desire for vengeance.
Unfortunately, social justice has permeated America, and as it turns out, it is not a philosophy that appeals to the better angels of our nature. In practice, social justice is outright disdainful of the kind of blind, objective justice toward which Western civilization has striven since there was such a thing as Western civilization. Its advocates would argue that blind justice is not justice at all and that objectivity is a utopian objective, a myth clung to by naive children.
The social justice creed is shaping our every daily interaction. It influences how businesses structure themselves. It is altering how employers and employees interrelate. It has utterly transformed academia. It is remaking our politics with alarming swiftness. And there are consequences for those who transgress against the tenets of social justice and the self-appointed inquisitors who enforce its maxims.
In Unjust, Commentary, magazine associate editor Noah Rothman deconstructs today's out-of-control social justice movement and the lasting damage it has had on American politics, culture, and education and our nation's future.

Social Justice Fallacies

Story
The quest for social justice is a powerful crusade of our time, with an appeal to many different people, for many different reasons. But those who use the same words do not always present the same meanings. Clarifying those meanings is the first step toward finding out what we agree on and disagree on. From there, it is largely a question of what the facts are. Social Justice Fallacies reveals how many things that are thought to be true simply cannot stand up to documented facts, which are often the opposite of what is widely believed.

The Left used to be the party of the hippies and the free spirits. Now it’s home to woke scolds and humorless idealogues. The New Puritans can judge a person’s moral character by their clothes, Netflix queue, fast food favorites, the sports they watch, and the company they keep. No choice is neutral, no sphere is private. Not since the Puritans has a political movement wanted so much power over your thoughts, hobbies, and preferences every minute of your day. In the process, they are sucking the joy out of life.

Story
In American Marxism, Mark Levin explained how Marxist ideology has invaded our society and culture. In doing so, he exposed the institutions, scholars, and activists leading the revolution. Now, he picks up where he left off: to hold responsible the true malefactors steering our country down the wrong path. Insightful and hard-hitting as ever, Levin proves that since its establishment, the Democrat Party has set out to rewrite history and destroy the foundation of freedom in America.

In The War on the West, Douglas Murray shows how many well-meaning people have been fooled by hypocritical and inconsistent anti-West rhetoric. After all, if we must discard the ideas of Kant, Hume, and Mill for their opinions on race, shouldn’t we discard Marx, whose work is peppered with racial slurs and anti-Semitism? Embers of racism remain to be stamped out in America, but what about the raging racist inferno in the Middle East and Asia?

Does your workplace have too few Black people in top jobs? It’s racist. Does the advanced math and science high school in your city have too many Asians? It’s racist.

After the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020, prestigious American institutions, from the medical profession to the fine arts, pleaded guilty to “systemic racism”.

Leading a cultural revolution driven by identity politics and so-called 'social justice', the new puritanism movement is best understood as a religion - one that makes grand claims to moral purity and tolerates no dissent. In The New Puritans, Andrew Doyle powerfully examines the underlying belief-systems of this ideology and how it has risen so rapidly to dominate all major political, cultural and corporate institutions. He reasons that, to move forward, we need to understand where these New Puritans came from and what they hope to achieve.

Story
Matthew Continetti gives a sweeping account of movement conservatism’s evolution, from the Progressive Era through the present. He tells the story of how conservatism began as networks of intellectuals, developing and institutionalizing a vision that grew over time, until they began to buckle under new pressures, resembling national populist movements. Drawing out the tensions between the desire for mainstream acceptance and the pull of extremism, Continetti argues that the more one studies conservatism’s past, the more one becomes convinced of its future.

Anyone opposed was sent to be “re-educated.” China’s revolution was bloody, fast, and a failure, but what if America started a revolution at the same time, based on the same bad ideas, and it’s just been slower, calmer, and more effective?

Story
Totalitarianism is not a coincidence and does not form in a vacuum. It arises from a collective psychosis that has followed a predictable script throughout history. In The Psychology of Totalitarianism, world-renowned Professor of Clinical Psychology Mattias Desmet deconstructs the societal conditions that allow this collective psychosis to take hold. By looking at our current situation and identifying the phenomenon of “mass formation”—a type of collective hypnosis—he clearly illustrates how close we are to surrendering to totalitarian regimes.

Have you heard that language is violence and that science is sexist? Have you read that certain people shouldn't practice yoga? Or been told that being obese is healthy, that there is no such thing as biological sex, or that only White people can be racist? Are you confused by these ideas, and do you wonder how they have managed to challenge the logic of Western society? In this probing volume, Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay document the evolution of the dogma that informs these ideas, from its coarse origins in French postmodernism to its refinement within activist academic fields.

But without shock treatment, warns historian Victor Davis Hanson, American citizenship as we have known it may soon vanish.

Worth a read if you're newer to politics
1) What star rating (out of 5) would you give this book?
For the message the book was trying to send, I would say 4.
2) What did you like about the book?
It was well balanced enough to where either "side" should be able to take something away from it without being "offended."
3) What did you dislike about the book?
Personally, I feel the "Far Right" (albeit worth mentioning) aren't as big as it seems when compared to the Leftists in this book. I would also say they're only getting larger due to the Leftists ever going push off the cliff to a Totalitarian State. Just my opinion though.
4) Would you read it again?
No, I feel it was a good read, but not needed to repeat.
5) Who is the intended audience of the book?
I would say anyone who pays attention to politics would be a good audience.
6) What could have been improved?
Nothing, other than my personal preference mentioned in 3.
7) What did you learn from reading this?
Nothing that stood out. Most of it was just a retelling of things I already have come across it seemed, but I also read a lot. For someone that doesn't, they may take more away.
8) What did you think of the book’s length?
It was fitting to cover the topics it did.
9) What's another book this one reminds you of?
Of my recent reads, maybe "The Coddling of the American Mind" and "LOOSERTHINK"
10) What other books by this author have you read?
Nothing yet.

overwrought style, historical analysis is shallow
the author has some good points to make about the excesses of identitarian political movements and is unsparing in his critique of white nationalism. however his stark rhetoric exceeds his evidence many times with an overreliamce on hyperbole and either or thinking. intensifying observations with adverbs and adjectives doesnt make him more convincing just more polemical.

A brilliant and analytical book
This book was published way ahead of its time and it’s even more profound for what the country is suffering through today. The only fault I find with it is that so few people will read or listen to it. My highest compliments to the author and to the reader a brilliant match. Thank you please know that I have listen to it twice And it will remain a permanent addition to my audio library.

Defining justice without revealing some bias is nearly impossible... this author does a decent job for most of the book. I nearly put it away at two of its deepest dives but decided to finish it... I'm glad I did.
