     It is popular amongst some people to see \u201cSocial Justice\u201d, such as with #BlackLivesMatter, as simply a form of extortion<\/a> on the same lever as the Mafia\u2014which is unfair to the Mafia. \u00a0 Certainly, the people who push \u201cimplicit bias training\u201d are looking to make money, and those who riot and loot in the name of \u201csocial justice\u201d often expect unearned privileges, but while the ultimate quest is one of power over some over others, there is a significant difference between the \u201cSocial Justice\u201d wannabe-revolutionaries and the Mafia: The Mafia understands what they are doing and generally speaking won\u2019t kill the \u201cgolden goose\u201d or otherwise let personal feelings get in the way of business if others don\u2019t make it personal; in contrast, the revolting Woke Left are true believers who will ruin everything for everyone in their quest to immanentize the eschaton since \u201cWokeness Vult!”.<\/p>\n

     In other words, they are Paladins of Wokeness, or perhaps more accurately Hashashiyan for \u201cSocial Justice\u201d.<\/p>\n

     This is similar to C. S. Lewis\u2019 observation on the difference between the roober baron and omnipotent moral busybodies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

     This is why \u201cSocial Justice\u201d is so dangerous: It is a cult of religions zealots who can\u2019t be reasoned with or bargained with who are willing to destroy themselves in order to enter a heavenly state of wokeness once they\u2019ve proven their devotion and immanentized the eschaton.<\/p>\n
