Most people have a fairness instinct. The fairness instinct has been observed even in monkeys [0]. Given that most people also live within a social fabric, it is not too hard to imagine that most people have an instinct for a fair society. Alas, this is simply too vague of a definition, as it encompasses most religious/philosophical/political perspectives out there, on the left as well as on the right [gasp!]. The modern "social justice" movement has a number of very specific insistences, which align with a much smaller subset of perspectives than the umbrella "fair society" ideal would imply. I simply want to have someone sympathetic to the modern "social justice" movement to state some specifics on what they mean by "social justice". Looks like you're not the right person, no worries. I'll keep asking. One day someone will answer.

- asveikau 7y agoI don't honestly think there is a social justice movement. You are implying more organization than exists. That is why you can't find any. AFAIK the term "sjw" was defined by those that oppose it.
