A Manifesto Against the Enemies of Modernity https://areomagazine.com/2017/08/22/a-manifesto-against-the-enemies-of-modernity/ … via @AreoMagazine @goddoesnt @radiofreetom
'Subjective truth' doesn't mean anything. More important is giving people the right to apply their own values to their own lives.

You are arguing for simple pluralism, many perspectives. Social justice has never progressed on a platform of "all perspectives are equal."
-
No, it's progressed on a platform of 'apply your own values to your own life & leave other people alone' accompanied by the right to do that
-
MLK would disagree. He called out "the white moderate, who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice; who prefers a negative peace..."
-
That doesn't disagree. It doesn't even relate. You keep doing that.
-
You said: "apply your own values to your own life..." This is exactly what opponents of progress (e.g., MLK's white moderates) have said.
-
That doesn't make any sense. The right to live as you see fit underlies religious freedom, LGBT rights and reproductive freedom.
-
You act like ideals work in a vacuum. People "living their own values" can also mean discrimination and slavery.
-
No, it can't because the other part of that is 'not impacting anybody else's'. That prevents others living their own values, doesn't it?
