      Very often, when I make an argument for reasonable ways to think about social justice issues,ppl tell me 'SJWs' don't think like that.

      But my intention is not to repeat ideologically-motivated irrationalism. What would be the point? I'm expressing my own thoughts on matters.

      And I'm not primarily addressing people committed to ideologically-motivated irrationalism but the rest of us trying to find a way thru them

      Because I find so often that people (including me) see the symptoms of problems very clearly but are less clear on the reasoning beneath.

      And when a position is so bound up in layers of rhetoric, misdirection, obfuscation & accusation, it can be hard to pin-point the problem.

          Which leads to criticising people on things they don't think & having a problem with the wrong thing for the wrong reason by mistake.

          So I just like to break stuff down & try to pinpoint the problem & exactly why its a problem even if this seems naive & obvious.

          Coz I don't think it is.I think we mostly intuitively object to things on large general principles of fairness & kindness which seem obvious

          But other people are holding opposite positions on large general principles of fairness & kindness & it seems obvious to them too.

          So we need to actually break it down & try to look at it in component parts & be very clear on what we're objecting to and why.

          Maybe try using argument mapping to break down people’s arguments so you can then pinpoint the specific issues. http://www.jostwald.com/ArgumentMapping/ARGUMENT%20MAPPING.pdf …
