Postmodern Religion and the Faith of Social Justice

[link to areomagazine.com (secure)]

This is a good essay. It is rather long so be prepared to read for a while but, it's worth the time to read it. The premise revolves around the concept that regressive leftists, SJWs, PC ideology or Neo-Marxism have transformed their ideology into a religion. For instance:

Of important note, here’s what’s not being said: that religion is bad and therefore Social Justice is bad because it’s so much like a religion. That is not my argument. My argument is neutral in this regard. It is merely that Social Justice takes on many of the qualities of a religion and should be recognized and treated as such, at least culturally. This means applying the social architecture of secularism to the phenomenon.

For about 10 years now, I have claimed that the definition of 'progressive' is: An elitist, authoritarian asshole who is willing to give up their liberties to the government, in an attempt to FORCE the rest of society to think, act, behave, and believe as the progressive wants them too.

The usage of the word 'authoritarian' is correct in that the Regressive is doing all they can to force all of us to be like them. As many of them claim to be anti-'fascist', they are using corporations and the State to implement their ideology on the rest of us in what has been called 'cancel culture'. Once they can convince the banks to follow suit, the days of the Beast are here.

However, in reality, the regressive ideology is not authoritarianism in the original sense of the word. Yes, they themselves are authoritarian in what they do but overall, the ideology is totalitarian.

The big thing to remember while reading the article/essay is that there is a difference between authoritarianism and totalitarianism. Authoritarianism is the ideology that serves a dictator; a supreme human that rules the land while totalitarianism serves the 'greater good'.

This 'greater good' can be something like we find in the Jewish religion and their 'one true God' or, in Islam where the religion rules every aspect of your life. The same can be said of the Marxist, Regressive, SJW, and PC ideology, as everything that it does, is for the 'greater good' of society.

It is a religion. As I have said for many years now, Statism is the worlds fastest growing religion and the regressives and using it and the global corporations to force their religion onto all of us.
