but I've found that the correspondence theory of truth is not as widely held as those who rely on it believe.

Amusingly all the people I know who reject it are atheists (of the SJW type).

The real joke, that few have gotten the punchline for, is that SJWs aren't atheists, they're puritanical theocrats.

SJWs are special in terms of the correspondence theory of truth in that they'll explicity reject it, while many, many more of varying ideological persuasions only implicitly reject it, in failing to find it particularly motivating.

They may be special, but hardly unique -- it's not hard to find environmentalists who also reject it, for example.
