A Lack of Boundaries and Social Justice Warriors, an Analysis

by Tamara Kane

While reading
“Boundaries with Kids” by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend, I realized how many of the issues the 'woke' brigade, (progressives, liberals,social justice warriors etc.) have are due to parenting without boundaries and a lack of internal self-control and need for attention in the SJWs themselves. Let’s look at the issues the “Boundaries” books describe when someone lacks boundaries and the behavior of SJWs.

“If you grow up with confused boundaries, you cannot control yourself and therefore try to control others.” SJWs claim that they have the right to control others, whether censoring word choices, clothing choices or opinions that others hold. The end result is a totalitarian ideology that sees no limits in what it can demand, no matter how petty or personal. It doesn’t recognize boundaries that others may set. This may or may not be reinforced by the high correlation with diagnosed anxiety disorders Dr. Jordan Peterson of the University of Toronto found in social justice warriors that is absent in classic liberals, though both share the language and measure of morality based only on perceived fairness and empathy."


Social justice warriors were not raised with proactive boundaries, so they see only boundaries others, unfairly in the SJWs view, place that are reacted to – when they find any kind of resistance, whether a “no, I don’t believe that” or “I won’t change what I’m doing”, their reaction is outrage like a young child told NO. They blame the person who sets the boundaries or refuses to go along with their ever-changing, emotionally based demands for triggering it, just as an older child blames the parent for the tantrum or damaged items thrown in response to being refused.

When someone lacks internal self-control and a proactive mindset, they feel like they are victims of external sources of pain and restriction. They feel oppressed and helpless. Liberal political leaders harness this by saying, “Here are the identities of those oppressing you, hate them, I will help you, help me tear them down and destroy what they built to make things fair”. The unsolvable problem for the perpetual victim is solved by the manipulative liberal leaders who say the solution is tearing down whatever they point at. The perpetual protests are another symptom of this mentality, since protesting identifies a problem but does not solve it. They are protesting in the hope that those in power will solve it; they are like crying children assuming adults will fix the problem they cannot quite define just to stop the crying.

Per Dr. Cloud, immaturity is defined as not understanding the difference between caring and protecting. Caring is telling the truth, including reporting a criminal to the police and pointing out that one’s actions are wrong. Protecting is lying to protect the person regardless of the criminality or immorality of their actions. Liberal social justice warriors say that caring via correction is immoral, that judging an action wrong and enforcing consequences is in and of itself evil. They think that “don’t judge me” and “you’re on my side, you have to side with me no matter what” is the definition of love, though it is actually the opposite.

Liberals define boundaries as bad. They even apply this to international politics by saying there should be no national boundaries, standards or rules. In reality, it is incredibly lacking self-awareness since they are demanding the right to exclude people who disagree from high paying jobs, positions of authority or their presence. The end result is a double standard they think is moral and fair, that others’ boundaries are unfair and immoral while any boundaries they set are fine, even if exclusionary and enforced by violence.

There is a difference between hurt and harm, just as there is a difference between words and violence. Hurt is when you tell someone no, ground a child for breaking things on purpose, revoke privileges. Harm is beating a child with a belt, refusing to feed them, letting the child get electrocuted because you cannot bring yourself to hurt their feelings by saying no, you are not allowed to touch that, enforced by a swat to the hand. 

Social justice warriors engage in the ultimate confusion of hurt and harm by equating hurt feelings with violence, such that disagreeing with them is seen as a literal slap in the face, justifying any blows they throw at the speaker for daring to disagree.

Children raised with healthy boundaries and developed internal controls are capable of proactive boundaries, acting based on their internal values instead of external manipulations. Immature children and adults who only operate based on reactive boundaries can only say what they are against, what they hate. Against patriarchy, against whiteness, against systemic oppression, against Trump. The SJW is able to vaguely say they are in favor of love, tolerance, rationality, education only in the most general sense. However, that answer is disingenuous because it applies these positive words to the ideology no matter how hateful, intolerant, irrational or contrary to the evidence the group’s actions are. The ability to say “I’m for love” while hating the heretic who uttered hate facts contrary to your narrative and calling for violence against the evil ones who refuse to do whatever you’re demanding they do based on today’s ideological checklist is cover, not truth.

We have none of those three.  Society; upside down and crooked.  Community;  which one?  No real sense of community.  It's hard to tell who speaks English anymore, let alone relate to any semblance of accepted normalcy amongst parents.  Civility;  I think of 1950s America, not modern America.  I think of cherry Chevrolets, apple pie, male and female roles as accepted within the community, barber poles, employed men, no dirty looks from neighbors that always smell like curry, no Russians, Mexicans, Arabs and Iranians that "Took our jobs!"  ;).

Nothing against other nationalities, but what about Americans?  Why are the multigenerational Americans that fed, defended, paid taxes and whos ancestors are buried on U.S. soil, the ones to be marginalized?

Harvard scientist Robert Putnam found that diversity hurts civic life, reduces social trust, decreases public participation. Taken further, it pushes tribalism / grouping when the minorities are large enough to form their own enclaves.

The oldest of political realities is that people are most tolerant of those who differ from themselves when they live among those who do not differ, and when they do not fear having alien ways pressed upon them. This recognition is what enabled history's great
ecumenical empires to survive in peace.
Libs may learn that cities supporting school prayer or are anti-abortion could also become 'sanctuaries'

Nice article Tamara. We have people who are taught to look for any slight, intentional or not, and make some kind of a case of it. I am certain that if I look for a slight hard enough, I'll find it. The term "microaggression" has become a college requirement, and anything can be made into a slight if you look hard enough, and the looking only creates more division, but that's what the people who teach microaggression and looking for anyway, division.

I enjoyed reading this article, Tamara. This explains a lot about SJW's and many millennials in general (no offence to millenials in general, but its a fact). It makes one wonder what had happened within the general model of parenting in society that caused this phenomenon (of course its not only parenting, but boundaries can only be instilled by parents and educators) for a large part of a generation to show some of these traits.

A lot of truth here Tamara, I've often tried to point out to the Social Justice Warriors that justice is a chimera and often by delivering justice for one person or group, we heap injustice on another.
That's too complex an idea for people who are driven by their need for peer approval of course.

Thank you, Ian. They aren't driven by the need for peer approval. They are actually trapped in the childhood phase of "I'm happy, good, I'm sad, bad, I want it, it is my right, I don't like it, ban it, what I want to do is my right, what I can't do is a violation of myself". They react to boundaries as if it is an affront to their existence, a violation of their sacred selves - and react like toddlers told no for the first time with screaming, violent tantrums.
