  • Social justice is not giving everyone the same income or inhibiting people from becoming rich. It is not abandoning the poor and needy. It is a level of humanity in a civilized society that provides for it's needy, giving them at least the basics to survive - basic health care, food and a roof over their heads. It doesn't mean the homeless invading our livingrooms and using our computers and iphones. Disregarding the needy is inhumane and not christian.

  • What the hell does the heritage foundation know about social justice?

  • As long as there are such classes and hierarchies in this world, it's not easy to lessen or alleviate the inequality and injustice to happen.

  • 'Social Justice' means anybody that works hard deserves to have everything taken from them because the idiots and the lazy NEED it more, and thus supposedly deserve it.

    A.K.A. Looterism

  • @Objectivist1994 you have been had by fox. Please educate yourself.

  • Everyone should learn about United Nations Agenda 21. "Social Justice" and redistribution of wealth sounds cool to American liberals. Wait until they find that their money is not being redistributed in America, but to other countries. Is that really what they want? I don't think so. Remember the blacks waiting in line for their "Obama money?" They really thought redistribution of wealth was coming to them. People on welfare in America are richer than many people in 3rd world countries.

  • oh dear... there is a LARGE difference between social justice and charity... social justice requires a sacrifice from the ruling class to liberate the oppressed

    any guesses as to who the ruling class is? take a gander all my rich, white, male friends :-/

  • Find and read this story before you consider putting your government in control of creating world "equality and social justice."

    Harrison Bergeron

    by Kurt Vonnegut (1961)

    "THE YEAR WAS 2081, and everybody was finally equal!"

  • Social Justice is a scam, for people to take over the govt and take other people's money, with phony justifications. Consider these facts: Czar Nicholas II ruled Russia, lived in palaces, and the people were peasants living in poverty. Lenin and the 1918 revolution said "help the poor" and "take the money from the wealth classes." The result? Stalin lived in palaces, and 30 million died of starvation. 100 million died in the 20th Century to "equalize classes."

  • There is a difference between FAIR share and EARNED share.

  • Social justice= lazy poor people who are jealous of the wealthy because the wealthy actually work while the poor do nothing

  • @obamasucks247 How sad you are.. You really are that ignorant? No, it's about the wealthy getting tax breaks while the WORKING poor go hungry!

  • If you believe in this "Social Justice" garbage, you are a communist.. fair & direct. Review the definition of creating equal wealth, society & what I work for I deserve as a proceed from the business owner. This is the definition of communism & if you read history you would understand. Sad to even think our society is even posting this crap. You should be put on trial as a trader to the constitution of America if you believe in these values. China is in this state, you dont see the problems?

  • A lot of stupid brainwashed Americans commenting on here. I pity decent Americans; to be surrounded but such outrageous & celebrated stupidity and narcissism. It's no wonder Yankeeland is on its last legs. No wonder it has to wage Orwellian perpetual war; historically failing empires rely increasingly on force. These automatons are part of the reason history repeats itself; its these rightwing neocons and neolibs who will cause the next world war in a desperate effort to wipe US debt and more :P

  • What a load of crap

  • Social Justice: IT'S NOT FAIR! HE'S WINNING! THE RULES AREN'T FAIR! WAAAAHH!!!

  • Social justice is deeply and sincerely loving across every social barrier conceivable: ethnicity, culture, social status, appearance, economic status, wealth and poverty, age, generations, sex, religion, faith, belief, marital status, education, health and physical status/condition, emotional/psychological condition, style and expression, hobbies and interests, skill level, etc.

  • @rowancv Bunk! Social Justice is about taking from those who have earned wealth and giving to those who have yet to earn anything or have squandered their opportunities and now just want the government to take from the "rich" or as Progressives (socialists) like to say ....the "Millionaires and Billionaires" and redistribute to the poor. Stalin, Hitler, Hugo Chavez and Borak OBummer were or are for Social Justice.

  • The Nazis were socialists? Yeah. Tell that to all the Union members killed by the Third Reich. And to any right wing drones on this page that want to offer a half-assed, grammatically fractured rebuttal: fuck you in advance.

  • @Captainoldspice yeah shit head. what do you think? Nazis weren't socialists? How ignorant are you?

    Yes they were socialists. Unions are socialists. They're not Constitutional Americans. They don't even vote their conscience.....they have their Union thug bosses tell them how to vote. They believe in the Collective Rights for all......rather than the Individual Liberties for all.. Okay smart guy....give me your name calling rant.....its what Progressives do.

  • @srvblueslvr

    So by your logic, the Nazis were socialists and union members are socialists; therefore, Nazis killed themselves.

    And "Union thug bosses"? Go look at the GOP platform and then talk to me about those so called "individual liberties" they support.

  • @srvblueslvr You stupid inbred redneck. Nazis were nationalists who called themselves socialists because socialism was popular at the time, as it would be now if it weren't for pro-capitalist liars & morons. It was scum like Hitler & Stalin that used socialism to glean support from decent ppl in establishing their oligarchies; kinda like the Yankee Right (GOP, Teabagers, etc; the 'neo-con project') use democracy, freedom & liberty to sell their brand of crypto-fascist oligarchy in today.

  • @Tuathalful The fascists were socialist in nature. They were national socialists rather than international socialist like the communists, but they were still socialists. They supported programs ranging from universal health care, and abortion rights to a workers guaranteed right to work and unlimited unemployment payments if they couldn't find work.

  • Social justice cannot be attained by violence. Violence kills what it intends to create.

  • Run when you hear that term, run fast and far away.

  • i agree with friedrich hayek. the term social justice has no meaning whatsoever. it is basically the same notion on which every single argument is effectively based and as such is not only an absolutely unsubstancial idea, but one without any objective standard. on top of that people forget that justice is itself a notion of society, and the fabrication of the term SOCIAL justice is an implication that justice itself is unjust. it's absolutely ridiculous. they should call it socialist justice.

  • As used by the statist left, social justice means the redistribution of wealth enforced by a heavy-handed federal government and a classless, Marxist society where everyone is kept "equal" in terms of income by the sheer force of the federal government. That's your modern American so-called "progressive" left for ya.

  • Liberals use the word "social justice" to mean this: when a person acts foolishly, imprudently or recklessly and has a bad outcome someone else will pay for it. Orwellian use of the words when in fact it is an injustice when you punish an innocent person for the sins of a guilty person. Besides there is no such thing as "social justice". Either you are just or unjust to an individual citizen.

  • Social Justice = Blaming white people for the problems of all minorities and then having white people give back what they have "stolen" from them.

    Social Justice = White guilt

  • Racism, sexism, heterosexism. Socialidm, communism, fascism, and redistributing the wealth. Communitarian ethics. Human life is not valued. Collective group rights no individual rights. Collective punishment.

  • i got an answer for you... forcing people to do the right thing... or making it the law to force things to happen to make society better... like say there is a good, well-round person, and three other ok people. But for some reason, and without this one person being involved at all, the three ok people die if the one good person isn't killed. Social justice would say kill that one person, no matter what the story is.

  • @nnlamb25 retard, go back to school and become coherent.

  • social justice is the banner that leftist MURDERERS throughout history used to commit their crimes. YOU FUCKING LEFT WING CRIMINALS.

  • Social justice is antithetical to the Rule of Law.

  • How about keeping it equal justice for everyone! Never mind Social Justice... that sounds nice, but I like our nation the way our founders made it. Anything violating my inalienable rights endowed to me by my creator, I am against! This includes my persuit of life, liberty and the persuit of happiness. This means I persue for me, not for my neighbor unless I feel like giving out of the goodness of my heart. Government has no business there!

  • @taverned thats right. if the government taxed less, then we the people could have more of our own money to give to the charity of our choosing, not extorted by the feds to give to the charity of their choice...

  • @JustBeingReal1 how would we maintain a WW2 size military with over 220 known international instalations w/o taxes?

  • @kennny732 I didn't say we shouyld pay zero taxes. But what we are paying is waaaayyyy too much. When you here figures in the news about a million for this, 4 million for that, a billion here and there....all that is money the feds are collectiing from us. I dont care to fund research on the grizzley bear in montana, or weather patterns in Florida. That is stuff for their state to pay for. Like I said before, less taxes means more money the people can donate as they see fit.

  • I can scroll down and pick out several regurgitated Glenn Beck remarks...... wonderful.

  • @Gorgunsun,

    .

    I did a video on Social Justice. I didn't use anything Glenn Beck said. My research came from internet sources, four books on the subject, and some TV footage. Do you own research. It's about redistribution of wealth and minimum living wage (welfare), not charity.

  • @Gorgunsun so why waste your time with GB and speak for yourself. There are a lot of good points GB makes and there are reasons to acknowledge it but to make this issue an issue of Glenn Beck is a poor response that has no valuable contribution to the topic at hand here. If GB is your issue then let's discuss that topic apart form this one.

  • social justice will cripple the american way of life. It is understood to mean (becasue no one will clearly define it) that everyone is entitled to the same standard of living as everyone else. As in, where is the justice of our social or economic system that some people live really well, and some live near poverty, even though they both wrok really hard.

  • it is a myth.

  • I love the books on Social Justice. They tell you how to teach it without defining it. Social Justice =/= charity.

    .

    One of the biggest proponents of Social Justice is William Ayers. He is a domestic terrorist who wishes he did more after 9-11. I'm glad you made a propaganda video showing social justice = middle america... not.

  • @FreedomInAmerica Think of something on your own. William Ayers, a terrorist, wow what a revelation. Thank you FreedomInAmerica, I mean.... Glenn Beck.

  • @FreedomInAmerica William Ayers, a terrorist, what a revelation. Thank you FreedomInAmerica, oops I meant Glenn Beck.

  • Glenn Beck listeners

  • No it is very simple.  Social justice was touted by Hitler in 1933. It lead to fascism and then totalitarianism and mass murder. Social justice is a code word for dictator and communism where a dictator confiscates property by stealing to give to other that dictator deems worthy. It is an imoral act.

  • @pandabead

    Someone watches Glenn Beck. Don't you feel proud?

  • This video really conveys the meaning of social justice well, it's as simple as being nice to each other DUH!

    LOL. What a load of bullshit. Social justice is really the government stealing your money to give to other people who don't have the same opportunities as you.

    Sound fair?

  • study the history of christian social justice.you are believing heritage foundation,pro corportist ,anti any positive govt.They believe in an "each against all society".The use false historical analogies.The nazi's destroyeded all labor unions

    first.Hitler developed a corporate fiefdom.Fox and their ilk are leading americans in to this.Please THINK!!

  • If you believe in social justice, you obviously don't understnd what "Social Justice" stands for & is the begining of!!! You need to ask my mother(My mother was born in Germany in 1928) She can tell you first hand what "Social Justice" is as thats what Hitler gave to the Germans. You need to wake up & read The "Real" history of Social Justice. God bless you & I hope you will realize the bad things that this can bring. "Those who don't learn history, Are doomed to repeat it!"

  • I heart you!

    Pass it on!

    watch?v=DRZoIXX3cpk

  • Your statement is slightly off.Hitler was a corporatist.He like the heritage foundation want a corporate fiefdom!.RESEARCH!.The First thing hitler did was kill and stop all the pro union labor leaders!,so that the corporate state could be established.Social justice was not his aim.Respectfully ,your understanding of the differences of a accurate social justice and Nazism is not true! thank you

  • @777bal Hitler was not a corporatist. he was a fascist. idiot. please read history.

  • @pandabead I will discuss this later,but I don't think you would say this to my face.This is all in the good spirit of debate and discussion.Lighten up!.

  • You are right about that. Hitler claimed National Socialism but in reality it was Fascism / Statism. I guess back then, the Socialist ideology was a nice concept but, it won't work for the USA.

  • @tkd4zgqg

    If you break down the words "social" and "justice" your definition is woefully inaccurate. Union leaders and Communists also stood for social justice. Did your mother mention anything about the Nazis executing Communists and Union members?

  • OK, What is it that I wrote that is inacurate? If I wrote something to give you the idea that I agree with Social Justice, your incorrect. I do not agree with it. It's a socialist idea of stealling money/property from people who earn it & giving it to capible people who do nothing for themselves(Welfare, etc...). Admitidly, Some people do need help, but that help should be local. Nazi's were Germans that were evil warped socialists that followed socialists ideas, through Hitler's riegn.

  • makes us think, not indifferent.

  • ...Also known as Socialism, Communism or Marxism.

    Heres another word for you.

    PROPAGANDA: Art created to advance a cause, idea, agenda or organization.

    Such as this youtube video.

    The U.S. Constitution has all the social justice you need. READ IT!

  • @Rufusfreeman1 AHMEN!

  • more information, wonderful!

  • DDG993, are you a prole ?

  • Social Justice is the idea that you should give one section of society more benefit and preferential treatment than another based on perceived wrongs that occured in the past, and make it into law for all time. It is all about what one side says versus another. Social Justice is based on emotion and perception, not logic and wisdom.

  • CANNABIS IS FREEDOM

  • I believe social justice is getting rewarded for the effort and hard work you put into something.We should not expect(like Obama thinks)to be able to do nothing and live like someone who works hard.

  • "Equality of opportunity" is impossible without making sure everyone has access to a basic minimum of resources (like free education, healthcare, etc.).

    For a society to be truly based on merit and hard work alone, you need to remove the vast inequalities created by chance.

  • @dylanstafne

    "For a society to be truly based on merit and hard work alone, you need to remove the vast inequalities created by chance."

    lmao

    How about let's try to make everyone looks the same so no one would get any advantage/disadvantage for being good looking/ugly no more?

  • @dylanstafne - That's COMMUNISM in a nutshell. Go live in Russia, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, France, Sweden, or Canada if you want that, KOMRADE. Pure capitalism makes nations great. "Social justice", aka commie fascist socialism destroys them. Russia tried your "social justice". Look how it worked for them.

  • DarrelfromZeeland

    You're a great representative of Zeeland, MI. Being an inbred retard is necessary to live in that shithole of a town.

  • @robertmike57 - A shithole? Zeeland is the perfect place to live. No niggers, no libturds, no mudscum, no gooks, no dotheads, no Papists, no hippies, no fags, no dykes, no druggies, no drunks- we're a dry town. Zeeland is how all of America should be.

  • @DarrelfromZeeland sort of like Nazi Germany?

  • The Nazis were ATHEIST LIBERALS. They were fucking SOCIALISTS. Zeeland is a CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIAN town.

  • @DarrelfromZeeland another misguided lie. Hitler and the SS celebrated pagan festivals of their ancestors in the TULY society. Hitler want not a religious man.

  • @DarrelfromZeeland Well, not quite pure capitalism, Because then you have Anarcy. Not good either!

  • @dylanstafne So you would punish people for going out & making due for themselves, Earn what they have, Make the $ they make. Then take it away from them becuase they EARNED it through hardwork & thier own initiative which could be done anyone, poor included. I'm the first college graduate in my family this gereration & make good $. So you believe I'm supposed to just surrender my $ & belongings to people that are too lazy to make thier own way?!?!?!?!?!?!? You've got to be kidding me!!!

  • @dylanstafne BTW: I donate plenty of my $ to local Churches & to many charitible foundations. I do this on my own, because I'm blessed by the grace of God, Jehovah, to have the things I have & to be able to provide for my family. Knowing that these things are from the grace of God,I have compasion for people that need help, But: Read 1 Peter 1:7 - "Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he will eat for life"

  • Social Justice is BULL$HIT.

  • Social justice every effort has an opportunity to succeed or fail on it own merits.

    We should not expect equal results for unequal effort.

  • @chk2595 Exactly, its equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome.

  • Comment removed

  • @chk2595 Agreed. But all must go make thier own way & make due for themselves. Not expect other to continually help someone whom doesn't try becuase of laziness or complacency. If you fall down, Pick yourself up & keep trying.

  • Lockean natural rights. That is what people must give each other under all circumstances, and that is plenty. Period.

  • Here I was hoping to hear what it was. All the liberals who describe it make it seem more like it's some sort of "white power"-type movement for black radicals.

  • Social Justice is what a person you never met thinks you should be doing in comparison with someone else they or you have never met

  • Bill Ayers (Obama's personal Achmed the Dead Terrorist), is writing school books about "Social Justice" and it's pure Socialism / Marxism (like: Teaching for Social Justice).

    I left a "church" in 2008 because they featured Jim Wallace at a "Social Justice revival". It was salvation by Socialism message. Wallace (a far left radical) couldn't say one bad word about Obama, and not one good word about Bush, even defending Jeremiah (god damn America) Wright.

    Social Justice is a radical left agenda

  • @penguinistas - I agree with most of what you say. But I feel the Bush comment isn't nessesary as he also didnt' do the things he said he would do. He failed misserably in his 2nd term in NOT doing what he should have done. Like protect our borders, etc. Kinda makes you wonder if he is a semi-socialist hisself. But 100% onthe rest of what you wrote!!!!!

  • i think that the hidden hand idea establishes that liberty is, naturally and by default, moral.

    i think social justice would be individuals affirming social morality from that platform.

    that is, not merely observing that the market provides, but moving your corner of the market to provide for people who need it.

    for instance, my company asked us to take a pay cut. they cut the management pay first and deepest. the result is that no one was laid off and everyone kept their health coverage.

  • in a similar vein, i think about the model whole foods provided for employee healthcare. i think about the "buy one give one" low-power laptop campaign. i think about the mobile produce markets some people have set up to provide food to neighborhoods who are overserved by liquor stores.

  • social justice is being able to pursue your own happiness as long as it doesnt interfeer with another's pursuit.

  • fuck the public sector

  • social justice is starting a business and pwnageing the market with ur awesomeness. in more mature terms, creating private sector jobs,inventing stuff,making lots of money.

  • When the left coins the phrase - they're referring to wealth redistribution and socialism. When the Heritage Foundation uses the term, they are referring to the generosity of free Americans giving freely of their time and money to those in need - without compulsion from the government.

  • boy, i gotta say, there have been a lot of issues in which conservatives have been on the side of promoting social justice - school choice, for one - and it deserves to be acknowledged as such, but when i hear the term in isolation like that, all i think is "fourth Internationale codeword for socialism".

  • @haypenny

    What a creative way to display a lack of mental faculties.

  • @haypenny Giving freely a small fraction of the money stolen from workers there, & in the third world over centuries you say? Never so much as to mean sacrificing their opulence & privilege of course; how generous! Capitalist parasites & their arse-licking, wannabe clingers-on simply want to destroy democracy so corporate dictatorship can run everything = plutocracy. Where social justice exists, charity & its parasitic orgs are superfluous. "Charity" is selfish, guilt allaying bullshit.

  • Social Justice is when you get to keep the money you worked hard to earn as your FAIR share!

    Everyone should write that on their paper money.

    watch?v=ljOidrT8PUE

  • @BrainDeadRepublican : Also, known as communism. Good to know that we forgot what communism brings. RIGHT... lets bring on the communist state of America. What a joke! It never works, history has proven that any monarchy does not work.

  • Social Justice is our goverment passing so many hardship bombs that they vote themselves out of existance thru resitance.

  • social justice, is in the mind of the "beholder" and so tends to over step individual boundaries, and freedoms. I.O.W., its another avenue towards communism/tyranny/zero freedoms. Its 100% flawed thinking and has no place in a Republic free society . It hasn't worked in any other country , why do people think its a good idea in this one?
