Episode notes
Keri's Social Justice Indoctrination
- Keri Smith was indoctrinated into social justice ideology through her women's studies minor at Duke University.
- This led her to view the world as a power struggle between identity groups, similar to Marxism but focused on identity instead of class.
Language Control
- Social Justice Warriors (SJWs) control language by redefining words like racism and sexism.
- They claim this clarifies structural issues, but it results in judging and treating individuals differently based on race and sex.
Social Justice Worldview
- Social justice ideology emphasizes a power struggle between identity groups and the redistribution of power.
- This worldview encourages people to constantly search for racism and sexism in everyday interactions.
