In reply to the discussion: I Would Like To Put A Question Forward... How Does One Legislate Social Justice ??? [View all]Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)What are your specifics? A law that says 'No more income inequality allowed'?
Second, why and in what ways would the methods for legislating a more just society differ when the form of justice is 'economic' and 'social'? Why, and in what ways.
Third and perhaps most importantly, I'd like to know why you use the word 'foist'. Your quote "you can foist new laws and paradigms on people, but you cannot legislate their Hearts and minds."
Definition of 'foist': to force someone to accept (something that is not good or not wanted)
So what you are saying is that any law which fosters social equity is 'not good or not wanted'. And you object to that. While pretending you can't think of a single example of social justice created by the law.
Foist, he says about Civil Rights, you have foisted this equality upon us, it is not good, it is not wanted.
