Victims Frantically Search For Offense
So where in the Hell did this come from. It sounds to me as a mad rush to Nihilism. Just destroy, people, systems, culture, anything at all, but particularly, Objectivism. These people absolutely hate Objectivist.
It's just pure nuts.
From the article:
"1) "There are no objective definitions to words and phrases." Without becoming philosophical or providing details, this statement comes from the belief that there is no reality whatsoever beyond what is constructed by the culture through its language, texts, history, assumptions of biological sexuality, philosophy, legal theory, etc. Objectivity and conclusions through reason and evidence do not exist; only the subject narrative presented by voices exists. In order to radically change society, it is necessary to deconstruct the current narrative and replace it with a desirable one; it is necessary for their voices to be the ones that are heard. The deconstructionist approach dates back to the postmodern philosopher Jacques Derrida and has been adopted in a wholesale, cartoon version by gender feminism."
And:
"The claim of microaggression is a justification for censorship and social control. To advocates, the slightest hint of insult becomes evidence of epidemic oppression in society. What you say, what you don't say, when you do not show up either to speak or stay silent ... all of these can be evidence of microaggression. That is, as long as the act or non-act is committed by a white male or by someone who disagrees with the PC theory of victimhood.
The actual oppression occurs, of course, when micro-victims band together and harm those who have been "constructed" as oppressors, as they harmed Prof. Van Rust for requiring proper grammar. Those targeted by the micro-warriors are the true victims. And the self-righteous crusade of the privileged masquerading as the oppressed will continue until one thing happens. Individuals (especially white males) need to stop feeling guilty for their innocuous acts and non-acts. They must stop apologizing for the whiteness of their skin, their genitalia, their system of belief ... Individuals must stop apologizing for the hubris of peacefully occupying space on the planet.
Your guilt is the main weapon wielded by the politically correct. Take it away."
It's just pure nuts.

Even though the majority of us are disgusted by the insanity. The minorities rule.
If words do not have exact meanings then one can deny any truth. Think much of that has been going on lately? Hah!
Motive anyone?
Or at least, getting their guards fired....
The definition of manipulativeness is inducing a feeling of guilt in another person to attempt to control them.
When you recognize it (not always easy), the only defense is to stand up to it. But when you can get fired for NOT SUBMITTING to manipulativeness? Hell is real!
Also I loved the title. It seems half of writings about public policy involve "victims frantically searching for offense."
"belief that there is no reality whatsoever beyond what is constructed by the culture through its language, texts, history,"
[sarcasm]Hey, what about her-story? Why is it always about his-story?
Here a Marquette professor made a comment on HIS PERSONAL BLOG not a university funded account, that an associate professor of ETHICS at a CATHOLIC institution would not allow any discussion critical of gay marriage in the class. For the egregious sin of pointing out the hypocrisy in an entirely personal forum, he was fired.
