Social Justice has the same relationship to justice that Peoples Democracy has to democracy.
“It is not worth the while to go round the world to count the cats in Zanzibar” - Henry David Thoreau
Social Justice has the same relationship to justice that Peoples Democracy has to democracy.
Free speech is about the state dictating what is or is not acceptable, it is not about free people freely expressing contempt for contemptible behaviour.
Refusal to finance a platform for thugs to spew their venomous bile does not constitute censorship.
Financing a platform constitutes support.
paraphrased from Lord Vetinari
"I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue."

Yes.
I wish I had said what you just said Cats.
In fact I will steal it from you.
Pretty sure it wasn’t original with me anyway.
Never say that Cats - if something is unclaimed, homestead it.
Paul,
C’mon leave this drivel to us. You’re supposed to be having fun!
Ouch! I just got up. It was gone five when I went to bed last night, and the Irish Whiskey I was drinking, well someone appears to have left a shillelagh in it.
Now then Cats, this fuckin Romney landslide. How does that go again?
Don’t rub it in, RAB.
Realizing that the vast majority of ones’ co-workers relish the prospect of blue suede boots, stomping their faces for another 4 years, is sobering.
The other important lesson is that the political intelligentsia (now there’s an oxymoron) really don’t have any clue either.
I really didn’t see this one coming. I knew the Obamessiah was ahead in the polls, but I really thought the Republicans’ desire to see him overthrown would triumph in the end. Gosh, but I was wrong.
It seems I got the Pope right, but the President wrong.
The Republicans have only themselves to blame. If Romney was the best they could do… aww fuck me sideways with a Combine Harvester!
Next time, er if there is a next time, America may well be under the martial Law of Comrade Barry by then, the GOP must choose a candidate who can put their hand on their heart, look the cameras straight in the eye, and state… I am not a Politician, I am an American, and I am here to serve you and my country as best I can. I won’t lie to you, or bullshit you, we are in a hole so deep it is coming out in Australia, and we have to turn it around. With your help I believe we can do it, fellow Americans.
And choose a woman this time just to be on the safe side!
… and the 47% (53% by then) will say “Where’s my free stuff gonna come from?”
Bod unless their is de facto bankruptcy before November 2016.
And there will be.
Now come the tough times - all over the world.
No more chances for Paul Ryan style gradual reform.
That is over.
