social justice = cough up the money white boy...It is communism.
It is. Why should a welfare queen be given the same wage as a brain surgeon? Why bother becoming a brain surgeon when there's no reward? Why not relax and enjoy the ride like the welfare queen instead?
If social justice becomes the norm - don't expect me to sweat. I'm going on a permanent vacation. Millions would join me. Why not? There's nothing to lose.
So what if people get hungry? Why should I work to bake the bread? As long as I have my mine, who cares? It would be all about me and my free stuff, right? Isn't that how it works?
since last year... when tax money was used for private good instead of public good... we have been living under communism
then again, progressive taxes are unConstitutional and socialistic/communistic by definition.
to fit with the Constitution, taxes would have to be even regardless of the person being taxed. percentages are percentages. to say one person should be taxed more than another, just because what? the color of their skin? religion? amount they earn? sexual preference? what’s the difference... it all infringes on the civil rights of the individual and no longer treats us all equal under the law
lady justice is blind folded to insure everyone is treated equally. the quality of the clothing being worn by those being taxed would be irrelevant.
then again.. progressive taxes are a tool of the left to redistribute wealth and keep people from ever getting out of the hole
Don't think that the theft will stop when some sort of economic equality is established by coercion. There is a very strong element of revenge, of retribution, in the class relationships implied by "social justice." We have already seen a vicious and tragic example in history. "Privileged" Jews were not simply impoverished by their Nazi "victims," who were, after all, using as their excuse the attempt to remediate what they considered an unfair economic advantage, the Jews were beaten, ostracized, encamped, murdered. That was the doctrine of social justice in action, and the newspapers of the time proudly proclaimed it so.
"Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. "All this I will give you," he said, "if you will bow down and worship me."
“Social Justice” has no definition and it’s why the left loves the phrase: because it sounds good but means different things to different people.
It’s like “Racism”. Ever wonder why in a world where everyone wants to get rid of “racism” the institution still exists?
This evil, parasitical ideology must attach itself to a Good, so as to move forward. Inferior to 'Good'; it must depend on it; By it's own inferiority to Good; 'evil' must depend on Good - use it/cloak itself in it. Otherwise it is helpless. And of course the challenge is always to 'recognize it'.
Anything that screws average whitey taxpayer.
Social Justice is where if you don’t work, you don’t get stuff from someone elses work by force of law.
social justice = cough up the money white boy...But it bears repeating
As Cripplecreek posted
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
C. S. Lewis
When I was converting to Catholicism my group had to endure a lecture from some bitter old communist nun with the title, “Diocesan Director for Social Justice”. I can’t remember most of her painful blather but I do remember the part about the evils of buying Nike tennis shoes (no I am not making that up).
When leftist politicos use the phrase “social justice”, it, of course, goes undefined, because like all Newspeak phrases and words (”health care” as used lately, “comprehensive immigration reform”, “racist”, and so forth), it means exactly what The Party wants it to mean at any given time.
What is more interesting is to analyse the phrase in the mouths of ostensibly Christian clerics. Here it seems to represent an abrogation of Christian responsibility, and a failure to heed the words of Christ, when He said, “the poor you have with you always.” The Christian responsibility to succor the poor, “in as much as ye did it to the least of these, ye did it unto Me,” to imitate the Good Samaritan who voluntarily used his own money to pay for the care of the man who fell among theives, gets twisted by clerics who buy into “social justice” into a responsibility to badger ‘Caesar’ into succoring the poor out of tax revenues, which ultimately is no responsibility at all.
Replacing philanthropy with “social justice” denies the donor the opportunity to imitate the Father, who makes the sun to shine and the rain to fall on the just and the unjust alike, and gives the recipient a sense of entitlement rather than gratitude. In the end “social justice” turns out to be a demonic simalcrum of Christ’s command to love one’s neighbor as one’s self, and like all such delusions only leads to harm, both spiritual and material.
“Social Justice” is code for socialism.
just a way to control people & turn them against the only working economic system so that you can dominate & control.
same ol’ same ol’.
Postmodernists want to put hope and change in the place of knowledge of God's will, Moral Law, the Laws of History and Economics, or the facts of science and reality.They want to substitute shared utopian dreams for individual freedom and reason.
“Social Justice” is equality of outcome. In other words, it is the punishment and denial of merit and achievement.
Social justice, multiculturalism--there're just euphemisms for communism. That's the way the Left softens its language. Talking about communism directly would offend people. So they couch it in terms that sound harmless. It's just wolves in sheep's clothing.
It means that everyone gets their five minutes of fame like socialite Paris Hilton.
Social justice is another name for equality. Equality can be applied to various categories, such as economic equality. If you begin with the foundational view that governments should promote equality, it will eventually lead to Marxism or Communism. Governments must enforce equality, for people left to themselves will not remain equal for long. Some people will prosper more than others. Equality can only be maintained in a society that takes from one group and gives to another. The United States was based upon the idea of individual freedom or rights, not economic equality. In a free society, people are free to prosper or to fail. There is no right to equality of results.
