    Whether or not you are personally satisfied has no relevance to questions of justice. As I keep trying to tell you, true justice is a public affair, not a shadowy internal process. Any real liberal should know that.

    Depends on how much you trust the people involved.
    People who think a movie about plastic dolls is trying to turn their kids gay or trans are now officially known as

    Actually, it depends on processes established through social consensus and implemented transparently. That is how every civilized nation in the world has defined justice.
