My thoughts: Critical Social Justice is an attempt at a MAN-MADE religion with no reference to the divine. It is a PSEUDO-RELIGION, and a particularly dangerous one.

It’s moralization of truth results in OPPOSITION to both truth and reason.
James’ point should not be downplayed.

Critical Social Justice, even though it is also called Critical Theory, is NOT an intellectual movement.

It is a moral movement—but not as MORAL is normally understood.

It is RELIGION OF SLAVE MORALITY—IT IS DRIVEN BY RESSENTIMENT.
I wish that James would draw more attention to this point, because it is the real DRIVER of Critical Social Justice.

Jordan Peterson understands this.

The most active voice I know in discussing this is philosopher Stephen Hicks, e.g.
This really is required reading toady.
