that deserves “Social Justice”. Thus, the utter futility of
this concept is exposed.
Intersectionality – In addition, new permutations of
victim groups are now being defined. Such victims are
those who can be categorized within two or more
oppressed classes. This idea, now called intersectionality

, is a concept that was first coined by Kimberlê
Crenshaw, a law professor and social theorist at UCLA
and Columbia University. Intersectionality theory
asserts that people are often disadvantaged by multiple
sources of oppression that combine from: “race,” class,
gender identity, sexual orientation, or various other
identity markers. Combinations of oppression traits
amplify the harmful disadvantages to which so-called
victims are afflicted.
The flaws in this form of social activism are the
disincentives that the imposed retributions levy on high
achievers and producers whose successes are a product
of their creativity, drive, self-determination, and hard
work. These inhibitors will likely lead to great losses for
the overall well-being of humanity as the productivity
and labors of achievers dwindle without replacement.
