this helped clarify a dynamic for me. in the same way there's a "god-shaped hole," there are "X-shaped holes" for X a bunch of deep, fundamental concepts like sin, and any sufficiently mature ideology eventually adapts to fill these holes one way or the otherhttps://twitter.com/cognitivicta/status/1188178839949602816 …
if your ideology is social justice, you might fill the "sin-shaped hole" with e.g. whiteness or patriarchy. in this situation, in order to call out something that you feel emotionally is a sin you *must* contort it into whiteness, patriarchy, etc.
this produces a blindspot where you become unable to acknowledge sins that you haven't been able to classify as whiteness, patriarchy, etc. e.g. emotional manipulation and abuse by women (unless they're white! then you can use "white feminism")
we might talk in terms of there being a "concept economy," and of ideologies competing to satisfy demand for concepts like "a concept of sin" and "a concept of virtue"
"concept economy" raises the question: where is the emerging demand for genuinely new concepts (not just old concepts that were taken off the market) and what do people need those new concepts for?
i'm not anywhere close to convinced that the Xs here are deep and fundamental in general, as opposed to being deep and fundamental in the dominant culture i could buy that social justice is a descendent ideology from christianity, or something like that, which explains this case
yeah, maybe those were not quite the words i wanted, descending from christianity is a reasonable take and others have made this and similar claims (e.g. moldbug, @Meaningness)
It's very common for colonial elites to align with the colonizer and exclude minorities as a way to assert their belonging with the powerful, which is off course an illusion. So there I've assigned this sin to a valid hole in my ideology, but I'm aware nothing is that simple.
