Generally, the ideology is referred to as ‘Social Justice’, which follows the pattern of Post-Modernists being self-aggrandizing.

Currently, in 2025, SocJus is on the decline but remains quite influential. Post-Modernism itself seems to be partially but not fully affected.

I was initially hesitant to bring it up just because of how soul-crushing it is, but the Pakistani Grooming Gangs in the UK are the ultimate proof that SocJus is dangerous. The existence of these gangs and their lack of punishment is a direct consequence of SocJus dominance in the UK. Though I won't go into detail because finding information on them isn't difficult and I don't really want to. But keep in mind that the response chosen was to //pretend they didn't exist// because it directly contradicted SocJus ideology. | I was initially hesitant to bring it up just because of how soul-crushing it is, but the Pakistani Grooming Gangs in the UK are the ultimate proof that SocJus is dangerous.
