neurotypical “sense of justice”

Are we applying biological essentialism to justice?

That’s not really a conversation.

🙄

What is moral for you, what is you ethos based on, if not on a feeling of wrong and right?

There is a difference between having a sense of justice and wanting a feeling of vengance.

You are, people will even listen if you’re not only always being loudly.

When you’re in a loud room, you must shout to be heard. And if you’re gagged in a loud room, nobody is hearing you regardless of your speaking savvy.

You don’t have to agree on anyone to have your own opinions and defend it.

That’s very different than taking sadistic delight at their suffering.

Dude you’re allowed to speak up for yourself and others, just like everyone else.

Setting aside the fact that you’re generally not allowed, either by social convention or strict censorship policies? Just being loudly in opposition isn’t the same as being justice-minded.

questioning the concept of a sense of justice

I’ve seen everyone from Malala Yousafzai to Alex Jones express a “sense of justice”. The problem of “sensing” justice is that our senses routinely deceive us.

you think all other people on the internet you see are friends?

What?

Is it Justice or Just Us?

Easy to recognize that you’re vulnerable, disenfranchised, and overworked/underpaid. Easy to recognize how the system fucks you over specifically or structurally disadvantages you as a member of a demographic or class cohort. Comparatively hard to deal with someone on the other side of the tracks, with radically different experiences and beliefs, and build a sense of collective justice between you.

Idk how many young people come out with a holistic sense of injustice. I see a lot of “if you were just doing things more like me, you’d have a reason to complain” but comparatively little “I’m not here to question your circumstances, I’m just here for the solidarity for the cause”.

The /c/LeopardsAteMyFace channel is choke full of people who get off on the schadenfreude of the modern moment. Meanwhile, on the chud sites, you see plenty of folks who express a personal sense of injustice jerking it with abandon to military snuff films and economic sob stories.

If that’s your sense of Justice, no wonder you’re going insane.

Throw out the cheating angle

At this point, it’s less “cheating” and more “being trafficked by your boyfriend”

Literally Big Pimpin’

Can we also be antagonistic against the Chinese genocide

It’s very popular to live in the United States, look across at Xinjiang, and say “a Christian Nationalist told me the Chinese Communists were butchering Tai Chi enthusiasts for their organs and now I think we need to build the God AI before they do.”

It’s comparatively unpopular to say “maybe what we did right across the border from Xinjiang, in Afghanistan, after 9/11 was wrong”.

Nevermind that the Chinese Genocide is defined as building schools in Xinjiang that teach Mandarin as the primary language. While using prepubescent boys as bribes for local warlords to get info to drone strike Muslims who objected to farming opium… that’s Operation Enduring Freedom.

Because reading your reply focuses again exclusively on one group

Yeah, why would I be more upset with my own country doing genocide on a global scale?

Why do I have a higher sensitivity to ICE agents doing a fucking drive by in my neighborhood less than a week ago, than I do to some right wing agitprop used to sell data centers?

We can only wonder.

Sequel to Casino

And if you couldn’t pay for the pizza, they’d have sex with you

Yeah, sure, okay.

But also this is all mythology from the Bronze Age. So talking about Goliath’s kit feels a bit like discussing the potency of hydra venom or the height of the World Tree.

Real David and Goliath moment.

Key Takeaway: The author concludes that a genuine fight against imperialism and capitalism requires “internationalism from below”—prioritizing mutual support among people rather than blind loyalty to geopolitical blocs or states.

That’s a good place to start. At the same time, I see blind antagonism towards geopolitical blocs and states as an equally large stumbling block. As a case in point, the liberal politicians, pundits, and their hangers-on who insist “Beating Hamas” justifies any amount of violence within Israel’s zone of interest. Or the BlueMAGA types who insist “Russian Disinformation” is behind every critique of their insider candidates. Or the endless appeal to “We have to beat CHINA!” by AI Hawks.

The “I don’t trust you because you don’t hate the people I hate” quickly becomes thought-terminating and internally destructive. The very use of the term “Tankie” as the article describes goes back to fracturing the British Left over an issue they had very little actual control over. And we see this pattern repeated with left-leaning Christians v Atheists, left-leaning environmental groups, and left-leaning civil rights groups.

At some point, you have to recognize that you are living in the here and now, with people in your immediate vicinity who have absolutely no influence over international conflict zones on the other side of the planet. And if your knee-jerk reaction to hearing someone say “Well, Ukraine is full of Nazis, so I don’t see what Russia did wrong” or “Actually, I hope Iran kicks America’s shit in” is “I can’t work with this person, because they’re friendly with state fascists (on the opposite side of the earth)”, you’re never going to manage local organizing much less international organizing.

Political opinions and views only get wilder once you step outside your own city, state, and country.
