Janusz Korwin-Mikke–I just happened upon this quote from him today–is a conservative politician in Poland with a gift for clear thinking. He has deflated the whole concept of “social justice.” Behold how few words he needs to do it!
“Either ‘social justice’ has the same meaning as ‘justice’–or not… [I]f ‘social justice means ‘something different from justice’–then ‘something different from justice’ is by definition ‘injustice.'”
And the whole absurd construction is knocked out in the first round.
Beautiful!
Brilliant!
My wife is always yelling at the TV, especially when the talk is about “social injustice.” I shared with her what Janusz Korwin-Mikke said she responded. “That’s a good one.”
He nailed it in few words. I wish politicians could say what they have to say so quickly, then shut up.
