Indeed, dear hosepipe! So very true.... Problem is, you are firmly planted in First Reality (as am I); so although this point is perfectly understandable to us, it happens to be inconvenient to prosyletizers of Second Realities.
But Left Progressives — including the Usurper-in-Chief — are denizens of Second Reality, and thus futz around with the language a lot. In their definition, justice is virtually indistinguishable from the idea of "reparations"....
Among other things, such a notion of justice strips man of his personal dignity, and lets him be swallowed up as just another more or less anonymous member of an abstract group, which has been carved out for political reasons by political ideologues. The individual simply isn't important in their dreams and schemes.
Thank you so very much for writing, dear brother in Christ!

There can be no justice in Second Realities.
Without God, man is incapable of even understanding the term.
Man says he wants justice, but he doesn't want what's coming to him. What he really wants is mercy.
Man says he wants equality, but he doesn't want an identical share of intelligence, strength, power, appearance, land, education, etc. What he really wants is the same break as the next guy.
The person living in the First Reality knows that God is the potter and we are the clay. No man is the center of the universe and the master of his destiny.
It's not about what's in it for me.
Thank you so much for sharing your insights, dearest sister in Christ!
