Unjust: Social Justice and the Unmaking of America

Unjust: Social Justice and the Unmaking of America

"An elegant and thoughtful dismantling of perhaps the most dangerous ideology at work today." â€” BEN SHAPIRO, bestselling author and host of "The Ben Shapiro Show"

"Reading Noah Rothman is like a workout for your brain." â€” DANA PERINO, bestselling author and former press secretary to President George W. Bush

There are just two problems with â€œsocial justiceâ€: itâ€™s not social and itâ€™s not just. Rather, it is a toxic ideology that encourages division, anger, and vengeance. In this penetrating work, Commentary editor and MSNBC contributor Noah Rothman uncovers the real motives behind the social justice movement and explains why, despite its occasionally ludicrous public face, it is a threat to be taken seriously.

American political parties were once defined by their ideals. That idealism, however, is now imperiled by an obsession with the demographic categories of race, sex, ethnicity, and sexual orientation, which supposedly constitute a personâ€™s â€œidentity.â€ As interest groups defined by identity alone command the comprehensive allegiance of their members, ordinary politics gives way to â€œIdentitarianâ€ warfare, each group looking for payback and convinced that if it is to rise, another group must fall.

In a society governed by â€œsocial justice,â€ the most coveted status is victimhood, which people will go to absurd lengths to attain. But the real victims in such a regime are blind justiceâ€”the standard of impartiality that we once took for grantedâ€”and free speech. These hallmarks of American liberty, already gravely compromised in universities, corporations, and the media, are under attack in our legal and political systems.
