What Is Social Justice?

Pop culture has many definitions of the word social justice. After years of working with these issues as an org. and seeing our community make an impact in this world. We are raising our hand and asking "What is Social Justice to you?"

We have started this campaign to support individuals and groups in what they are currently doing and to encourage them to get more involved with these issues. This campaign is meant to be a positive and uplifting voice to the conversation about social justice.

So we ask...What is social justice to you?

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

[Jidster01]

SOCIAL JUSTICE IS:

1.) Theft. Taking from one to give to another

2.) Presuming you're right because a majority says so.

3.) Anti-liberty

@mikekazik1 of course central planning is arrogant. believing that one institution can plan and make decisions for other people is the height of arrogance. not being arrogant is respecting other people's decisions and not telling consenting adults how they should act. believing that you should plan for them because they are unable, corrupt or too ignorant to figure things out themselves is arrogance, sorry.

Social Justice is making understand the reach people that when they die, they wount be able to take anything with them. So they better enjoy giving now,when they can. After they die it'll be to late.

Experiment the joy of giving others, stop being greedy. That's the only way we will change this world

Social Justice is Breadquanda doing a cartwheel while shitting herself.

You 'activist' whose wages come from non-profit orgs or non-governmental orgs need to "LET LOOSE" of those MILLIONS THAT YOU HAVE!!!! You are the people that 'hoard' millions of dollars that are donated already by the better off people. Hardworking people have earned their own way thru life. You are as corrupt as the big government depts that KEEP the funding from the people. SHAME ON YOU! Instill the children with morals, self respect and teach them to work hard. They CAN succeed if they want

[UltraProle21]

one who preaches social justice is one who:

1) self-righteously calls everyone with higher income than them "greedy", while demanding "the rich" give them more of their money.

2) forgoes individual liberty in the name of "equality for all", except for bureaucrats, who will make more, because they are "the best and the brightest."

3) resents anyone that isn't a minority, woman, disabled person, or gay simply for existing.

4) has a useless humanities degree and can't find decent work.

Your view is outdated. Most people don't see health care as a luxury since it's necessary to ensure good health. In many cases, people need more than just minimal health care. How is a low-income person with brain cancer supposed to pay for surgery? The only reason why the poorest people have any care at all is that they go to ERs and the tab is passed on to the government. Leaving those people without healthcare is inhumane and most people agree that it is an unacceptable option.

@mikekazik1 I view health care as a luxury. To me it's like a super computer. The poor can afford a netbook and a netbook is all they need. A netbook used to be a supercomputer. We don't see the government handing out netbooks but millions can afford them heath care is no different.

@mattrferr The people excluded from the free market are those who can't support themselves in the system. Don't pretend like you don't know what I mean. The examples you listed are poor, as those government policies never tackled the root causes of the problems. Medicare and medicaid, though they have imperfections, are good examples of programs that aid in solving the healthcare problem. The program solves the problem, which is caused by a lack of financial resources.

[mattrferr]

@mikekazik1 No one is excluded from the free market. By definition a free market must include everyone. Moderate intervention in the economy at the federal level caused the housing crises. Moderate intervention in the economy at the federal level also decreases the value of money and hits the poor hardest. The effects of intervention are often problems not foreseen by planners, and the planned solutions often cause more inefficiencies.

[mattrferr]

@mikekazik1 That depends on how baseline is defined, and you clearly believe in progression towards egalitarianism. A man how majors in electrical engineering, learns differential equations, circuits, programming, transforms, and generally tackles every hard subject he possibly deserves compensation if he performs in the workforce.

And yes, he will invest his money. I would say that the innovation and improvement of those luxuries is imperative.
