I think anyone who really thinks the recent income inequality movement is something that can be addressed by some form of either reparations or living wage really needs to devote some serious time in study of the horrible situation in Venezuela.
The current dictator took advantage of the uneducated populous offering higher wages by setting better pay in an arbitrary fashion. The results of doing this are the farmers who grow the food can not even afford to grow it at the price the socialist state tells them to sell it for. In such a state, the only real value is selling all the states products to another country even while your own people are starving. The intent was to in effect give its people a living wage. The reality is more income chasing fewer goods has cause massive country wide shortages and thus inflation. This is not the first country that fell into complete ruin from the social justice group think. Renaming the style of social justice, does not make it more feasible.

Freeing us from the lefts insanity! No socialism/Communism. Nothing is FREE!

We do not need one. At least in America. Hopefully it will happen somewhere where they need one. Maybe all this support for Tommy Robinson in regards for free speech is the next great step.

The identity group of falsely-accused conservatives. I have been falsely labeled as a racist-homophobe-transphobe-islamophobe without evidence by leftists and mainstream media, and I want justice!!!

@Kellyugwu this is a great question.

I think that ClammyPollack has it right. They are already moving state legislation to lower the voting age and there have been multiple court cases calling pedofilia a victimless crime.

From the looks of it, the next thing the left will try normalize is pedophiles. It has already started.

Vomit

Anti-speciesism ;-?

I worked at a university and sat on an academic committee that studied "social justice". The university saw the empirical evidence placed before them at the time, raised the salaries of the lowest paid workers and created an insurmountable problem of salary compression. Look at the city of Baltimore, they tried a "living wage" for all of their government units.

Your “University” would do better to try to figure out how they were “supposed to address” implementing something that is, in all actuality, a contradictory phrase.

@Bay0Wulf the university implemented the "living wage" in order to placate the professors. They called the salary compression an unintended consequence.

@sscott_9 of course I get what you are saying ... or perhaps not ...
The University upped the wages of the lower paid employees to a “living wage” ... like if I worked my way up from a low wage over the years to reach $20 but suddenly the “living wage” is raised to $15 ... my 10 more years and experience HAS to be worth MORE than the $5 difference ...
The University May call this an “unintended consequence” but, if so, they’re outright stupidity is what’s on display here. Any guy from maintenance could’ve told them that in a heartbeat.
Again ... “Social Justice” is a fake construct ... is a contradictory phrase ... there CAN BE NO “Social Justice” because EVERY Time you try to bring “Justice” to one subset of anything, by definition, you are bringing “Injustice” to another subset ...
Like “Equal Rights” as thrown around by every SJW ... ISN’T “Equal” ... it’s “Special” ... which is to say it creates a subset that DOESN’T GET That “New” Equal Right ...

Increase wage, increase inflation. It’s a vicious cycle. It just tricks one into believing they have more money. Everything else goes up too.

Animal welfare rights? But more likely to be blasphemy made into law in the west

Disposing of “Social Justice” & “Equal Rights” Movements hopefully.
The TRUTH being that those phrases are actually self contradictory oxymorons.
They mean ... specifically ... the opposite of what they “sound” like.

I don't know, but as a 55 year old white male that self-identifies as a 21 year old black female lesbian Vietnam veteran kitchen appliance... where is my social justice?

Lol

I hope it's something that addresses economic disparity ...

Setting goals and working at it to better oneself does that.

Elimination of religion. I expect they will seek to abolish all forms of religion, or maybe just Christianity

They’ve been trying. You can take my Bible, but you can’t take my faith.

I don’t think it will be in Western countries. Likely in countries where abuse/crime against people based on race, gender, sexual orientation and religion still reign supreme. I’d like to see more folks from Western countries focus their activism to help people where they really need the help.

What SpikeTalon said. "To have and have not". We allowed the ideals that brought us child labor laws and 40hr work weeks to be chipped away until there is $500 between the security level of Maslow's Maslow's hierarchy of needs and the bottom for many working class Americans. This while CEO pay went up by an order of magnitude, in part by outsourcing jobs. Our Ruling Class ceased to share our interests because to quote a phrase "The more we let you have the less that I'll be keeping for me..." This is not healthy for a society to say the least. How some feel morally and ethically justified in making a "killing" by say raising the price of a life saving drug by 300% boggles my mind... Anyway, with the revolutions in technology on the horizon we are looking to add a far larger number to the bottom of the chart. That will concern all of us who cannot afford to live behind gated walls with private security in the future. This is why I am for the "Freedom Dividend" despite its quasi-Socialistic concept.

And because it is an awesome song: [metrolyrics.com]

Evidently there is a pretty strong movement coming from the progressives which will fight for the right to have sex with children. They continue to seek to lower the age of consent

and the age to vote, kind of go hand and hand. the progressive seem to want to control the thinking of the young.

@Serg97 SEEM to want? Oh no, They DEFINITELY do. In fact, in many respects they already do through the colleges and media!

Insanity on steroids!

Income equality perhaps?

The U.S. is the place you can set goals and reach them, making whatever money you want. Be the boss, it changes everything.

They can try with all their might to produce income equality, but cannot achieve this goal in a free-market capitalist system. Free markets are inherently unequal. To "equalize" requires government intervention utilizing regulations on price of product, price of labor, tax rates, etc. All those things that drive industry out of the country in order to stay profitable. Equal opportunity for all. That is the ideal to strive for. We are nearly there, but there is still much to be done. Infrastructure and education systems should be a #1 priority in America. The thing is, these over-arching improvements cannot happen in four years, or even eight years. Our "instant-gratification mind-set" is killing us.
