'Social Justice Advocate' or Snitch? UA Says It May Change Student Job Title After Bad Press
Phoenix New Times ^ | May 12, 2017 | Ray Stern

Posted on 05/15/2017 6:17:44 AM PDT by yoe

Following several days of bad publicity, University of Arizona officials said Friday they may eliminate the title — but not the job — of student "Social Justice Advocates."

It's not just the title of the new job position creating problems, either.

(In short, social justice is communism.) It is rooted in the Marxist idea that the money people make and the property they own do not rightfully belong to the people who make the money and own the property.

( college, university practicing social justice)

( social justice warriors)......

a person who expresses or promotes socially progressive views.

"these social justice warriors want to apply their politically correct standards and rules to others' speech"

Surely a college or university knows what Social Justice means...

“University officials told the Phoenix New Times that it was likely the title soon would be changed because some people have strong feelings about the phrase “social justice.””

I guess it’s our problem that we have ‘strong feelings’ about the term “social justice”.

Well, I can’t speak for others, but SOCIAL JUSTICE was the rationale used by Communist governments to kill over 100 Million of their OWN PEOPLE in the 20th Century. But then again, maybe it’s just me that has this little problem.

Any job or position with the term Warrior describes a person “at war” with others. This nom de guerre will produce late adolescents that break the laws, injure others with threats and violence and otherwise carry forward activist policies of the leftist academics to further radicalize state campus culture.

Having one of ours get a doctorate from an Arizona University, I can say that it is amazing how leftist they are for a state viewed as generally “conservative.”

Like the nation as a whole, the media and the academics in Arizona are generally 10% more communist than in the former Soviet Union.

... because that’s how liberals deal with problems. Change the name so they can run from it. Example: “killing babies” = “pro choice”, “stealing money from you by exorbitant taxation and lining their own pockets” = “providing for the poor”

Why not use the German word that Goebbels used for “snitch”?

What is “social justice”? I doubt that very many members of the FR community regularly use the term.

Political commissars were used by the Russian Communist party throughout it’s existence to enforce party line discipline.

Every Russian military unit had the Politruk - Commissar - as it’s enforcer of political correctness.

That’s all this is: a Bolshevik thought police position.

So where does one send their children for a higher education in lieu of social indoctrination these days? I can only imagine that getting into schools like Hillsdale and Grove City is more competitive than ever.

I’m sure that in their quest for diversity, multiculturalism, inclusion, and social justice, they will welcome any kind of speech that supports Donald Trump.

>>Communist governments to kill over 100 Million of their OWN PEOPLE in the 20th Century. 

Wasn't the first time technocratic Useful Idiots worshipped state-established created things for the benefit of Oligarchic Kleptocrats... or the last.

 

Rom 1:25-32

25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator — who is forever praised. Amen.

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

28 Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

NIV

 

Same Ol' Baalshyte, different municipal outhouse.

“Nicholas Sweeton, executive director of UA Residence Life and University Housing...”

This is the wretch behind the informant scheme, and he does look like a “Sweet One.”

Four informants and one supervisor to start. Informant pay is $10 per hour, not even the minimum for a “living wage.” Where is the social justice in that?!

I suggest we rename them "Brownshirts"... with an axillary team called "Bookburners"...

No reason NOT to name them for what they are... And Officials at University of Arizona? Call them the truth too - stupid - incompetent - not qualified to be running a University.

“What is “social justice”? I doubt that very many members of the FR community regularly use the term.”

It’s also used as ‘code word’ by the left. It’s a way of them saying to each other that no only should we do more than just help the poor, but we also need to ‘re-educate’ those that are opposing us (by any means, including shaming, removal from employment, removal of college degrees and licenses, labor camps or even death, if they continue to resist).

It is a VERY LOADED term used by the left, and they rely on our side not fully understanding its full meaning, or not understanding it at all - as they use it right under our noses.

Communists have been known to play word games to hide their brutality. The Soviet secret police went under different names during the 70 year reign of Communism: Cheka, NKVD, KGB, etc. They remained the brutal enforcers of state dogma during this period, regardless of their formal title. In the military, on college campuses, and large corporations, diversity officers are no different from the political officers of the former Red Army.
