IndividualJustice Versus Social Justice

Liberals in our society conflate justice with social justice. And this does not bode well for justice and a free society.
Individual Justice. That's a reduntant term as justice is always thought to be on an individual basis. If something happens to you on an individual level, YOU should have justice. This is because YOU were the one damaged. If you do harm to someone else, Justice should be after YOU. Justice, therefore, is always individual in nature. 

Gorup Justice. Social Justice. There is no such thing. It undermines the notion of individual justice. 

We have a tendency in our society to turn everyting into a referendum on groups. 

Example. Matt Araiza. He was charged of gang rape. He was a member of the Buffalo Bills. And, rather than waiting for him to be found guilty or not guilty in a court of law, the Bills released him. They told him to deal with his problems. 

As it turned out, he was not charged. It turned out he wasn't even present and a gang rape never even occurred. But, he is still unable to get a job in the NFL. And this sucks. It is so unfair. Why is he not able to get an NFL job? He would dominate as a punt returner. He shined in his brief stint with the Bills. 

Another example is Trevor Bauer. He was accused of rape. And he was released from the Dodgers before he even had a triel. Justice was not served here. And the charges were dropped due to lack of evidence. Yet he still cannot get a job. 

Why? He is innocent until proven guilty. 

In a court of group justice, he is guilty. He is guilty by association. Because these two athletes were not treated on an individual basis. They were treated as thought they are part of a group. And he is judged as part of a group. 

The reason Araiza was kicked out of the NFL was not because he committed a crime. It was a stand in for every ME TOO incident. This is what we not do with every incident that turns into a media narative. This is indicative of a broader issue and therefore we must make an example of this individual. We have made a decisoin as a society that the minute an accusation is made against a man that he is guilty and we are going to destroy his life. 

If he is convicted of this crime, his life should be destroyed. But, if you are not, then you should be set free. And you should be able to rejoin society. But, that is not the case with social justice. And this is why social justice is so wrong. 

The idea that our society is based on white supremacy patriarchy. And the only way to break down the patriarchy is to break some things. So, if allegations are alone to convict someone, that is the important thing. It sets an example that we do not tolerate such behaviors. Such was the case with Matt Aeraiza. It was also true for Bauer. It was also true for Brett Kavenaugh. They also tried to do this with Trump, but in that case they failed. 

The opposite is true too. You have people getting arrestede and doing horrible crimes. And if a white person did such crime he'd get a long prison sentence or jail sentence. But, if a black person is arrested, he gets off or gets a short jail or prison term. This is because they are victims of white supremacy. So it's not their fault they committed crime. So they are let off. 

The victims here are those crimes are committed against. That person does not get justice. Plus, with all these criminals being put back on the streets, then you have a greater risk for more crimes being committed. 

So, group justice is bad. It is horrible. In fact, social justice may be the result of the perversion of our Bible. Or the fact that so many people have gotten away from the Bible. For, in the Bible, we have Levaticus 19:15 which states: "Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the gret, but judge your neighbor fairly." 

Today, with social justice, we treat one group one way and another group another way. And this has messed up our society. And, hopefully, it will wrech the democratic party which is partial to social justice and impartial to justice. 


‘Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly.
