ничего нового, просто четкость формулировок понравилась
Because SocJus is so focused on changing bad attitudes and ferreting out subtle biases and insensitivities, its hostility to free speech and thought is not an unfortunate byproduct of the movement but its very essence. Obviously, retaliation for unpopular opinions isn’t limited to SocJus; but it’s hard to think of another present-day political group so unforgiving to even inadvertent verbal offenses. Nor is any other group so preoccupied with linguistic cleansing.
There is a word for ideologies, religious or secular, that seek to politicize and control every aspect of human life: totalitarian. Unlike most such ideologies, SocJus has no fixed doctrine or clear utopian vision. But in a way, its amorphousness makes it more tyrannical. While all revolutions are prone to devouring their children, the SocJus movement may be especially vulnerable to self-immolation: its creed of “intersectionality”—multiple overlapping oppressions—means that the oppressed are always one misstep away from becoming the oppressor.
