I'd say egalitarianism would be the only real "social justice."

Agreed, it does not play the Oppression Olympics.

Egalitarianism overlaps with a lot of progressive ideals.

Social justice IS important. Let's not diminish that. Whether you think it's for white people or minorities/women, we should be able to agree on that.

Social Justice can eat a decdomposing corpse dick. Universal Justice!!!!!!!!!!

They actually kinda go hand in hand lol. Not all reactionaries are SJW's obviously, but it's somewhat essential.

The word reactionary does not really mean anything.

It's the respective opposite of SJW.

Being a reactionary does not require warrior zealotry.

Apparently reactionary refers to progressive impedance. SJW is more commonly used as a pejorative within the right despite being coined as a positive term in the first place. Given that, though the terms talk about respective opposites on the modern right/left in lieu of their denotations.

Why would it be coined as positive? It;s pretty much taking a chainsaw to slice bread...

Then you're just being ignorant for the sake of being ignorant. Social justice is a good word, same as progressive. Social justice is about justice on social issues, which can be important. Progressive implies forward-thinking and ever-changing and keeping up with the times, whereas conservative can be reined back and restrained. Neither are bad words depending on the context, it's only the person who identifies that way you gotta be worried about. With that said, reactionary is more neutral because reacting to someone implies hot and intense emotions.

And to get to it, the systemic issues that create inequality need to be removed.

I wouldn't deride the concept of egalitarianism itself personally. Over the last few years, I'm primarily familiar with it being used to discount a progressive sect, most notably feminism, but same can apply to others. So in that case, it's more problematic so to speak depending on the person.

Then of course, our Democrats and Republicans are pretty much divided by that same dynamic, so that's an interesting nut to crack in it of itself. Just that the people I mentioned in above paragraph, they're more a-political reactionaries who want politics out of stuff like their games, their movies, and... their politics, go figure.

Nah, "progressives" just use egalitarian ideals as camouflage for their actual intentions and to excuse their actions.

And to get to it, the systemic issues that create inequality need to be removed.

And you think the way to do that is by creating more inequality? Because that's what "progressives" do. You know, aside from living in a perpetual 1950s fantasy land.
