45. justice transcends that
Justice is not something that we seek or not depending upon what the costs and benefits might be. The doctrine you are espousing is morally bankrupt.

Justice is not a "narrow world view." Assessing costs and benefits, and deciding whether or not justice is worthwhile to pursue is the narrow world view.

Advocating for justice is not "bullying." It may be tweaking the consciences of some, and making them feel trapped in their own internal contradictions, but that is not the fault of the speaker.
