travisty of justice

What Goodyear's out-of-court settlement with da drummer of Blink-182 likely was.

Whatever famous rock star T.L. Barker's settlement with da manufacturer of his crashed plane's tires was, I'm sure it was still a total travisty of justice --- dat "big biz" company's shoddy materials and/or workmanship were at least partly responsible for da deaths of several people on dat plane!

Theory of Constructed Justice

The perspective that "justice" is not a Platonic ideal waiting in a celestial courtroom, but an outcome continuously built through human systems. The law, the jury, the concept of "fairness," the very definition of a crime and its appropriate punishment—all are social constructions that vary wildly across time and place. Justice is what a society, through its institutions and power struggles, assembles and calls legitimate in a given moment.

*Example: "A thief is caught. In one city, justice is constructed as restorative: a circle where thief and victim meet to repair harm. In another, it's constructed as retributive: 5-10 years in a concrete box. The Theory of Constructed Justice shows that the 'just outcome' isn't found; it's built from the available cultural tools, political will, and philosophical assumptions of the builders. The scales of justice aren't found in nature; we forge them ourselves."*

The End Justifies the Means Bias

A cognitive bias where one automatically accepts or excuses problematic methods, processes, or actions because the stated goal is perceived as good, necessary, or noble—without adequately weighing the costs, consequences, or alternatives. Unlike the philosophical position that ends can sometimes justify means under careful consideration, this bias operates automatically and asymmetrically: good intentions become automatic warrants for otherwise unacceptable actions. It's the bias behind "we had to destroy the village to save it," "surveillance is justified because it keeps us safe," and "yes, CECOT is harsh, but it's fighting gangs." The bias lies in treating ends as automatic justifications rather than as one factor requiring careful balancing with means, consequences, and alternatives.

The End Justifies the Means Bias Example: "He supported the prison's brutality because it was 'fighting crime'—pure End Justifies the Means Bias, treating a good intention as automatic warrant for any method, without ever weighing whether the methods actually worked or what they cost."

The difference between justification and understanding

Oh we understand it now! That a thing we understand now because the violence is being directed in the way we want the distinction is a thing we accept now.

Hym "So, I used to talk about the difference between justification and understanding and now we all understand that I was CORRECT. I am justified in saying that this is the kind of shit that gets your kids murdered and instead of NOT DOING IT... You are doing it and robbing me... And somehow... That is supposed to teach me to not murder your kids? So now that we are all on the same page. You need to UNDERSTAND that you need to change what you are doing in such a way that it gets me my money. Because you are not JUSTIFIED in taking from me and if we are doing unjustified things to eachother... I KNOW WHAT UNJUSTIFIED THING I'M GOING TO PICK."
