What is CSJ?

What is critical social justice. I find it fascinating although bewildering as it seems autheritarian. So one cannot think other than what is wanted. Crikey !!!

It is white, middle-class intellectual bollocks as far as I’m concerned.

And what is wrong with that :thinking:, are we just to accept everything as gospel without any evidence, that’s just lazy thinking and debating.

I’ve checked the headlines, but I can’t find anything remotely linking with csj…
must confess I immediately thought of Carte de Sejour… but that’s obviously not right… aaargh.

If you can give me a link to what you’ve been reading/hearing… I’d like to take a look.

No it is authoritarian. Bit like what we read years ago in books predicting this. Not allowed to discuss or debate but have to follow the line. Shut down. You seem to think we have to accept your opinion and you try and back it up with csj thinking. Whch is we know best ideology. CSJ makes everyone who does not agree with them bad people. So everyone who does not agree us evil

Some ideas by academics that have never bothered the mainstream but have been blown into a much bigger deal in these times where the right need a constant culture war to rile up the stupid and the brainwashed. Just like CRT, wokeism, DEI and before it political correctness, equal opportunity theory, and frankly feminism and gay rights. There always has to be a boogeyman who’s going to come and destroy the children of the biblebelt and the simpletons. If they actually bothered to properly research it they’d realise they’ve been sold a lot of nothing as some kind of evil terror, but it’s easier not to actually properly research and just rely on trash like Areo magazine which promotes racialism or did until it closed down because it’s trash, Spiked, or that crap the execrable Toby Young puts out.

Edit: I see Toby Young has authored some pieces for them, I can spot these things a mile off, that man’s like a fly attracted to… well, you know :rofl:

It’s one of the many sites Helen used to like, same rabbit hole.

What age are your children. Generally kids to learn to judge and assess for themselves in time and reject theoretical proposals that have no foundation.

Here is an interesting article about the incursion of CSJ theory into science.

https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/29AF22D23835C74AECDA7964E55812CF/S1062798723000327a.pdf/critical_social_justice_subverts_scientific_publishing.pdf[quote=ā€œPorridge, post:19, topic:45788, full:trueā€]

It’s not the usual Daily Mail nonsense, but an article describing the impact these theories, and especially the activism linked to them, are having on scientific research.

Well… I’ve just speed-read that article… and now feeling in need of a nice glass of red… followed by a delicious supper… 'nuff said :rofl:
