Definition
Social Justice Fundamentalism (SJF) (often called “Wokeness”) is a low-rung, radical ideology that fuses Marxist power dynamics with Postmodern skepticism of objective truth. It views society as a zero-sum struggle between “privileged” and “oppressed” groups, governed by an all-pervasive, systemic “Force” (white supremacy, patriarchy, etc.) that permeates every interaction and institution.
Why It Matters
Identifying ‘Social Justice Fundamentalism’ as a low-rung ideology reveals its ‘sacred’ and unscientific nature; it exposes the fusion of power-dynamic obsession with postmodern skepticism as a threat to the objective inquiry needed for real progress.
Core Concepts
- Philosophical Frankenstein: A merger of:
- Neo-Marxism: Replacing class struggle with identity group struggle.
- Critical Theory: Searching for “Hidden Oppression” in culture and language.
- Postmodernism: Rejecting objective truth and science as “tools of the powerful.”
- The “Force” (Axiomatic Oppression): The belief that oppression is the “default” state. The question is not “Did racism happen?” but “How did the Force manifest in this situation?”
- Low-Rung Epistemology: SJF treats its narrative as a “sacred object.” It is unscientific, non-falsifiable, and relies on Information Twisting to protect itself from doubt.
- The Intersectional Stack: A rigid moral hierarchy based on group identity (Intersectional Stack).
- Total Institution Strategy: Capturing the “Steering Imperatives” of society—academia, HR departments, and government bureaucracies—to enforce the narrative through social and professional penalties.
