"There can be no test by which we can discover what is 'socially unjust' because there is no subject by which such an injustice can be committed, and there are no rules of individual conduct the observance of which in the market order would secure to the individuals and groups the position which as such (as distinguished from the procedure by which it is determined) would appear just to us. [Social justice] does not belong to the category of error but to that of nonsense, like the term 'a moral stone'." - Friedrich Hayek

Minus: Thinks racists still wouldn't hate the excepted (comment from Lisa's blog).

No, you still believe yourself to be superior to Thomas Sowell because you're White.

Joe Conservative said...

Still would, not wouldn't.

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

What's the reason Derpy thinks he's superior to Thomas Sowell? Thomas Sowell was a high school dropout, Korean War vet, and successful academic before the Civil Rights era (i.e. he made something of himself in allegedly racist America before government handouts and affirmative action existed)

Joe Conservative said...

Dervish, in all his self-perceived superiority, wants to protect Sowell from "superior white people" like us.

Joe Conservative said...

He wants us to indulge progressives like himself in their mass formation psychosis (aka- secular religion).

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

It makes him call Dr. Sowell "uncle"

Joe Conservative said...

...and robs him of all his "magical" powers.

Joe Conservative said...

...and keeps "them" consistent!

Joe Conservative said...

...cuz they all need to "think alike" so they can ALL vote "Democrat".

Joe Conservative said...

...that's "think alike" not "think for themselves".

Joe Conservative said...

Progressive "Entzauberung".

Joe Conservative said...

...and re-wrapping into Scietia Sacra.

...through re-enchantment with a racialized secular twist.

Thereby re-fitting Weber's "iron cage of society" by bureaucratically changing the "now partial" formerly "impartial" rules (ala Jim Crow).

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

What were some of the critical race hypotheses before someone announced a theory? Or did the hypothetical inquiry part get skipped?

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

hypothesis vs. theory

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

No.

Inflation. $50.

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

We should insist that critical race theory be demoted to a hypothesis.

L said...

Literally critical race theory does not exist except in the minds of racists.

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

Nah, it exists. It just shouldn't be called a theory when at best it's a hypothesis.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

Racists are really afraid of CRT.

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

Maybe racists are, but they need not be, considering it's an incoherent hypothesis, not a theory

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

CRT scares Beamish.

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

Why would I be afraid of a "theory" that posits my superiority?

Because acceptance of said theory could lead to a diminishment of your White privilege.

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

How so? According to the "theory" no one has a path to power to take my alleged privilege away. Under the rubric of CRT, it all seems like some feckless lament a stupid black person came up with.

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

* Used "rubric" in its religious sense just for you FJ lol

Joe Conservative said...

Is white privilege anything like class privilege? Party privilege? Honorific privilege?

Nothing spells p-r-i-v-i-l-e-g-e like a $1 billion stock portfolio and it don't care what colour you are..

(((Thought Criminal))) said...

Yeah well Jeff Bezos is Hispanic, so...

Erratum: Bezos was born a Jorgensen. Took his step dad's surname.
