“The ideal of social justice does not complement the ideal of education. The ideal of social justice replaces the ideal of education.”
On the creep of “social justice,” and the contortions it entails.

True justice is very difficult to find these days. Social justice is like global warming, it is a fraud.
FYI, the word justice requires no adjectives. In fact, anyone who applies any adjective to the word, generally wants the opposite.

“… or to specify a thing as distinct from something else”
That is the only purpose of an adjective when applied to justice; to signify that you are talking about something else.
Kevin, correct, there is justice or no justice, much like truth.
Only the useful idiots who organized the murder of Europe’s Jews were ever punished. The people who bankrolled the Holocaust never answered for it in any meaningful way.
Today, in 2019, a good woman is in the dock in the Hague for defending the right of the Burmese people to exist. Meanwhile, the financiers of the September 11 attacks are still at large.
Across Canada, thousands of loving fathers are serving long prison sentences for sex crimes they did not commit on the say-so of faithless wives and girlfriends. Meanwhile, a real and unrepentant pederast sits in the Prime Minister’s Office.
To speak of human justice at all is a cruel joke—and “social justice,” the defence of the scum of the earth, is the cruelest of them all.
Great comment AC..and bang on.
Justice…? There truly is none….unless you got the $$$$
The single most mind boggling term I’ve encountered in the last decade … ushered in by Obama and his minions is … “climate justice”. As if the earth’s “climate” could tune itself to the human construct of “social justice”?! Ahhhbut that’s the thing! Nature no longer determines climate … man does (particularly, mean, old, rich, white men). Nevermind the absurdity of that statement … because the earth now responds to human emotions and political beliefs.
To paraphrase Tom Joad … “… Wherever they’s a fight so hungry people can eat … climate justice will be there. Wherever they’s a cop beating up a guy … climate justice will be there. Climate justice will be in the way people yells when they’s mad, an climate justice will be in the way kids laugh when they’s hungry an know the UN CARE package supper has arrived, an when Tuvalu Islanders cook the taro they’ve planted an live in grass huts free of sea level rise … climate justice will be there.”
Uggh. Anthropomorphizing the planet is beyond silly … it’s dangerous … like Stalinesque dangerous.
Social Justice – reminds me of the policies of Stalin and Mao.
The Doomer generation wants to experience these policies for themselves.
The ruse was up when they made justice conditional by use of a modifier.
If there is such a thing as social justice then justice can be segregated by as many conditions that exist in the lexicon of current language.
How about financial justice?
What about political justice?
Hell let’s throw in conservative justice for good measure, why not eh.
But then that would unmask that this nonsense has anything to do with the concept of the blindfolded lady holding a scale in one hand and a sword in the other. No, this is not about justice, it’s about another concept, vengeance. What’s worse it uses deceit to impose this vengeance through a legion of usefully naive individuals.

Exactly…!!
Using any adjective (along w/Justice), to justify beatin on someone in some manner.
The origin of ALL your lefty labels ..no? RACIST, HOMOPHOBE, DENIER, CIS TERF ad nausea.
Damned near as good as “Human Rights” and their ensuing Tribunals.
It has come to my attention that “social” is often a prefix that negates the subsequent word.
Social Science is not science.
Social studies involves no studies.
Social welfare is adverse to welfare.
Socialists are are always negative.
Socialism is the pursuit of negativity.
Social Justice is not justice!
Good summary.

The cows don’t listen during safety meeting. I’ve got news for everyone. NO-ONE listens during safety meetings.
“Social justice” is much like that heretical doctrine of “liberation theology”. It’s merely a sugar-coating of violence, thievery, and thuggery and whoever gets away with the crime in question is the one that’s perceived as being correct.
Both were given credibility by using obscure passages in Scripture (the minor prophets in the Old Testament being favourite sources) to support the ideological perspectives of their followers. Conveniently, the circumstances described in those verses were likened to whichever right-wing jurisdiction happened to be out of favour, thereby justifying whatever action is taken.
It’s almost as if social justice and liberation theology are man’s feeble attempt to “correct” the very unfairness of life. If the Christian God were a “just” God … little children wouldn’t get cancer. If the Christian God were a “just” God, then there would be no poor people (and more importantly! no wealthy people). If there were a “just” God, then there would be no racism.
As I mentioned above, the concept of “climate justice” pretends that man has some influence over climate … over the earth … over the sun. Liberation theology similarly supposes that man can shape God into whatever he wants Him/Her/It to be. The conceit and arrogance of these beliefs would be laughable if not so dangerous.
Even more laughable are attempts to expunge Scripture of anything that one might find disagreeable, such as “decolonizing” the Bible:

It’s as if they want to “correct” the fact that people are sinful and fallible.
Social Justice is the emotional lipstick worn by looters and thugs actualizing statism in all its forms.
That’s a good way to describe it. But, to use another common phrase, one can put lipstick on a pig but it’ll still be a pig.
Funny you should say “creep”. I’ve seen a great many social justice warriors over the years and they’re pretty much all creeps.
