Have you ever tried to have a reasonable discussion with a social justice advocate, only to have your position distorted and your character attacked? Why do you think this is? Is it a possibility that it is a mirror of a deeply seeded character trait hidden within most of humanity, that is coming to the surface now to be observed and examined? As Carl Jung stated about the need for shadow work:
"If you imagine someone who is brave enough to withdraw all his projections, then you get an individual who is conscious of a pretty thick shadow. Such a man has saddled himself with new problems and conflicts. He has become a serious problem to himself, as he is now unable to say that they do this or that, they are wrong, and they must be fought against… Such a man knows that whatever is wrong in the world is in himself, and if he only learns to deal with his own shadow he has done something real for the world. He has succeeded in shouldering at least an infinitesimal part of the gigantic, unsolved social problems of our day." ~Carl Jung, “Psychology and Religion” (1938). In CW 11: Psychology and Religion: West and East. P.140
