    Michael Shermer Retweeted Scott Barry Kaufman, Ph.D.

    Here we go again... @sbkaufman please define what, precisely, you mean by "social justice" and how to achieve it. Of course we all support social justice in the broadest sense of equal opportunity, equal treatment under the law, no discrimination, etc. How? Through violence? No.https://twitter.com/sbkaufman/status/1147361913782841344 …

    Interesting! Out of curiosity, do you *not* support social justice?

        lol I didn't know you read my tweets so closely! Yes, that's basically how I define social justice. I don't understand why the term has become such a dirty word though in your circles. I agree violence is not the most effective solution to achieve social justice.

        I mean he follows less than 200 people, so I'm sure it doesn't take long when scrolling.

        Are you specifically fighting against Antifa? If so, then just call it Antifa! I totally hear your critiques of that method. What bugs me are all these folks who are being all snarky and condescending toward anyone who even mentions that they care deeply about social justice.

        Are you feeling the detrimental consequences of identity? It’s going to get worse.

        Many people unthinkingly equate "social justice" with the attainment of equal outcomes and not merely equal opportunity and equal treatment for all.

        That unfortunate, I sure don't! Where do I fit in this cultural war? I agree with criticisms of Antifa, I agree with not equating equality of opportunity with equality of outcome, but I also think social justice is a very worthy goal and shouldn't be automatically mocked.

        You side with and signal boost people that would take away the rights of members of the LGBT community, foreigners ETC given half the chance, so if you want to know why people question you, this is why.

        "Social justice" 99% of the time translates to "government enforced social engineering".

        SJWs defend their mott within justice, but constantly argue and act within the bailey of injustice. There would appear to be a place for social but not individual justice though, but I don't know if anyone has articulated it.pic.twitter.com/BRDLUb1Pll

        What an interesting take on a Venn diagram. How does the part (social justice) not be included in the whole (justice). If something defies logic, where to go next?
