People who weaponize social justice terminology for their own ends

... are the worst.

Like how a lot of upper-class pundits are saying now how a principled refusal to vote for Hillary Clinton is an expression of "privilege". Or how even expressing a preference for Bernie Sanders over Clinton is a symptom of "male privilege". I'm seeing this everywhere now. It's really grotesque. These people are essentially hijacking much-needed concepts and ideas and re-defining them for their own ends. It's like a right-wing conservative (or liberal) attacking affirmative action by calling it "racist"... co-opting necessary words so that they have no meaning. Only in some bizarre alternative universe where up is down and black is white would helping the victims of a racist system be "racist" and refusing to vote for a neoliberal imperialist multimillionaire sociopath be a sign of "privilege". The exact opposite is, in fact, the case: having the ability to not care about Hillary Clinton's awful actions enough to proactively cast a vote for her is the ultimate sign of privilege.

The ruling class is basically hijacking social justice in service of Empire. It's grotesque. I hope someone does an analysis on this at some point. Or maybe they have and I haven't seen it.

Yes, because Hillary has such an outstanding record on women's issues. These people should be executed.

You're going to execute a lot of people, then. That's been going on non-stop for about... eight months.
