Abstract: Abstract This chapter explores how postmodernismpostmodernism, and its related social justicesocial justice activismactivism, has become a worldview intent on remediating grievances, the result of which is to make everything into a zero-sum political struggle with entrepreneurs caught in the middle. The struggle focuses on identityidentity markers like race, sex, gender, sexuality, and many others; although, this chapter emphasizes racial discriminationdiscrimination. To an outsider this struggle feels like it originated from another planet, but it has been with us all along for hundreds of years.
