You are generally questioning the concept of a sense of justice because you think all other people on the internet you see are friends? No wonder you're going insane.

questioning the concept of a sense of justice

I've seen everyone from Malala Yousafzai to Alex Jones express a "sense of justice". The problem of "sensing" justice is that our senses routinely deceive us.

you think all other people on the internet you see are friends?

What?

So yes, people are different. You don't have to agree on anyone to have your own opinions and defend it. It's the same with moral. Don't you have any? Because you don't trust yourself? Dude you're allowed to speak up for yourself and others, just like everyone else.

You don’t have to agree on anyone to have your own opinions and defend it.

That's very different than taking sadistic delight at their suffering.

Dude you’re allowed to speak up for yourself and others, just like everyone else.

Setting aside the fact that you're generally not allowed, either by social convention or strict censorship policies? Just being loudly in opposition isn't the same as being justice-minded.

?

What is moral for you, what is you ethos based on, if not on a feeling of wrong and right? Are you saying you are a computer?

You are, people will even listen if you're not only always being loudly.

Morality exists, get over it lol

There is a difference between having a sense of justice and wanting a feeling of vengance.

You are, people will even listen if you’re not only always being loudly.

When you're in a loud room, you must shout to be heard. And if you're gagged in a loud room, nobody is hearing you regardless of your speaking savvy.

Who are you actually accusing right now?

That's not really a conversation. Bye

did you not realize what comm youre on?

I think you might be lumping neurotypical "sense of justice" with the type we expeierence.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

neurotypical “sense of justice”

Are we applying biological essentialism to justice?

[–] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I dont know what you mean by biological essentialism

[–] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

My take is that we all want justice, but some want justic only for themselves or whatever little demographic they've built their identity around.
