Social Justice

A perversion of justice which is inherently unjust. Not justice.

Justice is justice. Social Justice is therfore necessarily a subversion of justice (usually to suit political goals (regressive left) or personal goals (virtue signaling)).

If justice is just, then social justice cannot be just - in the same way political correctness is not correct.

Social Libertarianism

Social libertarianism is the belief in social liberty, i.e., individual independence and communal autonomy from overarching government or state control.

Social libertarianism reject the concentration of decision-making authority into distant, oligarchical, centralized bureaucracies - federal or monolithic - favoring instead the diffusion and localization of that decision-making authority.

Social libertarianism supports a political, social, and economic environment which allows voluntary accession to associations, but also permits a person to choose to remain free of restraint by society, except in cases in which an individual's claim of freedom interferes with another individual's right to be free from unwarranted, aggressive coercion or harm.

Social libertarianism regards free-market capitalism and democratic, communalistic socialism as equally conducive economic means towards the ends of generalistic liberation from tyranny.

Murray Bookchin's support of decentralized, non-hierarchical communal autonomy, coupled with a belief in individual liberty, indicates that he and his adherents ascribe to social libertarianism.

social anxiety

Social anxiety is a psychiatric disorder that affects 13% of the population. It involves overwhelming anxiety and excessive self-consciousness in everyday social situations. People living with this condition have a persistent fear of being watched and criticized by others. They feel that others are constantly waiting for them to mess up, thus humiliating themselves by their own actions. It may interfere with their work, school, social life, and other activities. Social anxiety differs from shyness in that people with this disorder often avoid some social situations all-together. Physical symptoms of social anxiety include blushing, rapid heartbeat, sweating, trembling, muscle tension, shaky voice, and nausea.
(This information on Social Anxiety Disorder was obtained from www.wikipedia.com.)

2-minute social beer chug

Founded at Lafayette College, the object of the event is for every participant to finish their full beer, socially, in two minutes. This is a social event that encourages large groups of people to continually drink more beer at different intervals of the night. The game is started by loudly announcing "TWOO MINUTESSS!" at the appropriate time in a party. Those who know about two minutes then echo the cheer and all proceed to grab a beer and gather outside the party. A proper announcement of the group size (males and females), along with the number of beers in the group, and the time (two minutes) will be announced and the event will commence with one person keeping time.

Remember: It's social.

-Do you think its time for a "2-minute social beer chug"?
- YEP! Twoooo minutessssssss!!!
