    Hey kids, here's a tip: finding out why something happened is a very crucial step in making sure it doesn't happen again. If you don't know the cause, your solution is throwing darts blindfolded without being pointed at the board.

      They say that justice is getting what you deserve, but can we say that the poor man stealing out of hunger gets what he deserves when he gets thrown into a prison cell? I dont think so. He doesnt get what he deserves, he gets injustice. I think it would be just for him to be forgiven and fed. But obviously same cannot be said for a person who steals out of the desire to hurt others, in that case rehabilitation, not punitive incarceration should be the answer. Current justice systems fails in both of those examples, and even in an example where it supposed to thrive (in isolating truly dangerous individuals) it doesn't do its full job and releases those who are clearly dangerous back into society.

      Solomon put it best: "No one despises the poor man when he steals, to satisfy his hunger when he is starving. Yet, if he is caught, he must pay back sevenfold, even though it costs him his whole house."
      We might sympathize will the criminal, but we cannot ignore the crime. Justice cannot concern itself with one's circumstances, only the choices one makes within those circumstances - because those choices may hurt other people. The hurt you may have endured does not justify hurting others. Justice holds the individual to account, as it should. #WakeUpFromWoke

      Carver Woods - Justice is blind. This expression means that justice is impartial and objective. There is an allusion here to the Greek statue for justice, wearing a blindfold so as not to treat friends differently from strangers, or rich people better than the poor ones. This quote then actually means that justice has both eyes that are impartial. Social justice closes one or both eyes.

      Luke Enno So it cant be something like, say, starvation? Stealing a loaf of bread to save one’s life is inherently hating god? What if a child is starving and steals bread? They’ve technically broken the law, even the child, but is it wrong to want to live but have no other choice? Further: How can a society be just when, say, bankers get away with lies that cost people millions but they get less than 10 years, sometimes less than 5, in a cushy prison? Whereas a man with 3 nonviolent offenses is serving life without parole for stealing $9 because of a “just” habitual offender law.

    • @Lafv
      @Lafv 4 года назад +16

      Luke Enno in a religious context, it is true that humans are inherently sinful. But please do not ignore the many other causes for crime that we can plainly see. People live in poverty because of racist acts of the past, and since it’s so incredibly hard to get out of poverty in a society like ours, they have sometimes have no option but to resort to crime. That doesn’t make crime okay, but it clearly shows that we could actually put in some effort to reduce the causes of crime and therefore reduce crime. Yes humans are and always will be sinful, but it would be sinful not to try to be better, and it would be sinful not to show compassion. If the justice system only asks “who did it”, it will never prevent further crime. If we ask “why” we can see that our lack of compassion for others may be the exact reason for the crime rates being as high as they are.

    • @Lafv
      @Lafv 4 года назад +16

      The Absolute Madman as far as I know, social justice isn’t really about defining punishments. This video was very misleading because all it did was compare “social justice” to the “justice system”. But social justice isn’t necessarily some alternative judgement system that’s meant to replace the justice system. They are different things altogether and they should be able to work together.
      Also, this video seemed to assume that our justice system perfectly represents the biblical concept of justice, which really isn’t true... and the justice system shows partiality to the rich if anything. So it’s a little ironic that people like you are pushing so hard against a movement that is trying to make the justice system better represent justice. Maybe we see justice differently I guess, but I think it would be foolish to say our system is perfect the way it is.

      On a higher plain of thinking, there is no such thing as justice. The universe cares not. In a cultural context, we humans made up "justice" and different types of it to help us be more secure in society with laws that prevent other humans from acting in a way that is detrimental to other humans. Religions preach justice only because they are culmination of 1000's of years of human experience and if they figure something out in that time we should not be surprised! It is not divine, we humans simply learn... VERY slowly. Once we figured out how to write, we more quickly pass on useful information. The internet is that x1000 except morons are able to "educate" others through their personal bias.

      Sexondly, the concept we have of justice being that if I suffered because of your actions, you should suffer because of my pain is not biblical. Biblical justice always improves and restores things. When we throw people in jail, it’s not just because they did something bad therefore they should suffer torment, the spirit of putting people in jail is to restore them and REHABILITATE them. Therefore, shouldn’t we care abt why they are committing these crimes at the rate that they are committing them.

    I just finished my senior year of HS. For my last theology class, it was called social justice class, but it's not as bad as you might think. We learned about the principle of subsidiarity, which is kind of a principle that the Republicans and libertarians follow. We also learned that life issues like abortion, the death penalty, and euthanasia, are all part of a seamless garment philosophy where to be actually pro-life, you kind of also have to be against stuff like the death penalty and euthanasia. We also talked about getting to the root of a problem instead of just treating it. I guess an example of this would be instead of just doing soup kitchens, get to the root of poverty to fix the problem so soup kitchens won't be needed. I now have a greater respect for MLK, especially when you look at how the revolutions in 1989 in Eastern Europe achieved their goals mostly with non-violence, which is what MLK advocated for, though for racial justice. Most of all, I respected the teacher that I had. I might've not agreed with him on everything, but he is the kindest man ever and he looks like he really wants to help the world anyway he can. Just my 2¢ on the issue. Didn't agree with everything in the class, but thought it was interesting.

But once its determined that someone was murdered , there is no further asking of "why did he do it?" at that point.

    She depicts "the Left" and "Leftist values" without giving a specific example of who she is talking about. What is "Leftism?" It doesn't sound very complex because she describes it as an ideology where the world is split between two groups of people where one is "good" and the other is "bad." What social justice advocates have said we should ignore the law and allow crimes to be committed against law-abiding citizens to "even things out?" Prejudice in our judicial system has led to sentencing disparities based on race, religion, ethnicity, national origin, and gender throughout our nation's history. Systemic racism plagues our criminal justice system to this day, but I'm unaware of any organizations calling for different sentencing protocols based on a defendant's background. I bet there are some religious groups that say "Lord is a God of social justice," but this video should look more closely at what this means. This video's whole argument is that the Bible and its Judeo-Christian values give the best guidance on proper justice, so why doesn't PragerU explore in greater depth the arguments and ideologies behind those who would say God cares about social justice? Also, if social, environmental, and racial justice aren't "justice" since an adjective precedes the word "justice," then what is criminal justice?

Jesus Himself stated that if you do not repent, you will die and admonishes people to work things out with their neighbor so that they don’t end up in court. Why? Because Justice is about RIGHT VS WRONG, not about socio-economic presumptions and speculations. The Cross IS the perfect example of this. Jesus suffered The Wrath of God for OUR SINS. We all deserve Justice. Justice does not show partiality. Jesus is The God of the Old and New Testament. Jesus never changes. God never changes. You want to be compassionate?

There was this teen the neighborhood who liked to mess around with motorbikes. Turns out that near him lived a couple that had recently had a baby. The teen would make quite a lot of noise with his bike, so the husband went to ask him to please stop with for a while so his baby could get some sleep. The teen didn't pay attention and kept going. One day, the husband goes again to make the same request except this time the teen stops and tells the man to follow him to his house. The man does so, and when he arrives, the teen was expecting him with a shotgun. He shot him and killed him, leaving a child without a father and widowing a wife.
      My goal is not to say "Throw them to jail and treat them as animals" but to say that the same way that just throwing people in prison is not the solution, saying "well, just give them rehabilitation and they'll become good people" isn't either. And I question how much of a kid some minors are. Because killing someone on purpose, or raping someone... that's not "a kid". While again, torture and treating them as animals isn't the solution, I think is kinda delusional to forget that they have comitted premedited crimes.

    I think you'll find "leftists" specifically believe race, income, religion, gender, etc, should NOT give you an advantage or disadvantage in the system. Take the bail system for example. Let's assume in the following cases that both defendants are arrested for the same crime.
    Person A and person B are arrested for crimes they did not commit. While awaiting a fair and just trial they are in jail and must pay bail if they'd like to leave. Person A pays the bail and leaves, person B cannot afford bail and so they remain in jail. The trial occurs a month later and both people are found innocent.
    In this example, person A got what they deserved, they were innocent and they were found as such. Person B, although found innocent, spent a month in jail.
    Person B was punished for being poor. Advocating that Person B be treated the same as Person A isn't social justice, it's justice as you define it. People getting what they deserve.

    Proverb 31:8-9
    "He who oppresses the poor taunts his Maker,
    But he who is gracious to the needy honors Him."
    Proverbs 14:31
    Jesus replied and said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead. And by chance a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
    But a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion, and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him. On the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return I will repay you.’ Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands?” And he said, “The one who showed mercy toward him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do the same.”

      I agree with Surio. You clearly did not understand the clear differences. Justice and Compassion mean two different things in Biblical context. Look to The Cross for a clear example of what God’s Justice is. He poured out His Wrath on His own Son so that we wouldn’t need to bear it. Jesus, the ONLY truly innocent person that has ever lived became our perfect sacrifice so that we wouldn’t be eternally condemned. God’s Justice is REAL. God is NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS. No one is arguing against compassion. We are arguing against undermining justice for the sake of speculative and subjective presumptions about groups and identities. Groups and identities don’t matter when it comes to Justice. Justice is about Right or wrong. Period.

    0:18 it depends which version of Bible do you have. Due to translation to various languages, misunderstandings during writing speeches of authorities quoting certain parts of Bible, or not taking into consideration reality of living in Ancient Palestine (or what autors intended to say to other people), it's possible in one or more versions it's written that way. That's one of the reasons why blind quoting the Bible, without at least minimal effort to actually understand it, leads to many not necessarily pleasant things.
    And P.S.: it's not spoken in Polish churches, and Poland is also part of Western Civilisation (for far longer than North America), so the sentence, that ,,it's spoken in most of churches on West" may be not exactly true.

    Hey PragerU/PragerU watcher! It’s your friend, Ellie, and it’s been a while since we talked. I decided to stop watching your videos and it’s been very refreshing coming back to the channel after a hiatus. When I saw this video, I was excited because I knew it would be something I’m interested in, and I was right! But fellow PragerU watcher, I have a confession to make, I have been working on my Physical Chemistry final all day and I’m kind of done with that formal writing stuff so I decided I would change it up tonight and do some reading! I really like when people cite their sources so I was really happy when PragerU did just that! So grab a warm beverage (green tea is my favourite) and settle down with me as we do some reading! Oh and a side note, it can be very difficult to tell what is sarcasm when on the internet and what is not so I’ll be very clear: this intro was all true and all very serious. If you enjoy PragerU, I really would like you to read this, not to change your mind or anything (I seriously don’t want to do a deep dive of my own to make a political argument against this video I’m actually very tired), but because I want everyone, left, right and center, to be aware where they get their information from. Enough babbling though, let’s begin!
    (If you would like to follow along with tonight's reading, please open the description of this video and click the link labeled “To view the script, sources, quiz, visit”)
    Source 1: This source is by the magazine National Review. This magazine is, by its own admission “a magazine of conservative opinion.” Usually, I disapprove of citing sources that blatantly admit their biases and for those of you who believe I am being hypocritical, I would’ve said the same thing if the magazine admitted a liberal bias. Although I believe there is a firm place for journalism with a political lean in a strong democracy (the modern op-ed for example is often a great way to get people’s attention about an issue or to get people to do more research on their own), but I personally believe that the place for such journalism is not in the cited sources of a self-proclaimed, academic video. I digress, let’s actually read together. Okay? Are we all done? I think we can all agree that this article isn’t amazing. It’s hook is, at least compared with my own interpretation of “Politics and The English Language,” is somewhat of a mischaracterization of what I believe Orwell’s point is. The cliches Orwell is referring to when he talks about cliches in politics are words or phrases everyone can agree are bad or good, outside of an extremely small minority. For example, Nazi, democratic and populist are words that can be used regardless of actual political belief and are essentially interchangeable for “bad” or “good.” I would argue this is not how the phrase “social justice” is used. Within left-leaning circles, yes, the word is almost identical to “good thing,” but when surveying the whole political spectrum, this rule does not hold true. Many right-leaning people use the acronym “SJW” as an insult; that acronym stands for Social Justice Warrior. So I would argue that “social justice” is not a cliche in the way Orwell uses the word, but I think I’m getting too in-depth here. I have used way too much space to argue against a single paragraph so I’ll try to speed it up. The article does a good job in its first half making a legitimate criticism of how the phrase “social justice” is used too widely in leftist circles and that many do not have an exact definition. I like this part, it’s good. It uses examples of different mission statements to prove how the ideas of “social justice” can be overly-wide and laughably conflicting. But then it doesn’t ever even attempt to give a straight definition for social justice! It gives the original definition, but then says that there’s not enough space to cover the history of the meaning of the word and just gives up and goes: social justice isn’t the same as what it was in the 1840’s. Which, okay, but I want detail! Most things are not the same as they were in the 1840’s and a change of definition isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Then, the article moves into a wider discussion of the use of cliches in leftist dialogue. This is where I think the article loses some of it’s steam, as it goes along, I found it harder to follow and I had to reread the end a couple of times. The reason I think it feels this way is because the article goes into a bunch of rapid-fire examples of the same cliche use highlighted in the “social justice” example, but these examples are given in less detail and some of the worst either intentionally or unintentionally create a strawman argument. For example, the section on No Labels does not give any evidence that all, or even most, liberals believe in the cause of No Labels. I personally think that labels, though not always and forever a necessity, are a good way to help beginners of politics understand the basics and can be very helpful in framing discussions of privilege and oppression and I call myself a liberal (for clarification, I’m a liberal not a Liberal). Although this is anecdotal evidence and can’t be used to make an extremely solid argument, I think it is just a way to deconstruct how this article frames some of its arguments. Also, for future reference, I also think Huffington Post is kinda dumb :)
    Source 2: Primary source! I love those! No complaints, keep using primary sources PragerU and I will be one happy girl.
    Source 3: I like the article itself. It presents a pretty good explanation of what Intersectional Feminism is, at least according to a number of experts. It also gives the origin of the term and does what I think is a pretty good job of comparing its origin with how the term is used today! Also, USA Today is pretty centrist as far as the media is concerned, though it does lean more left than right. Although I like the article, I would like the source even more if it were by scientists because I think the most impartial of sources are those that use large surveys and not traditional journalism. What I do have a problem with, though, is the conclusion PragerU drew from this source. Although the article itself just focuses on how many people like intersectional feminism because of how it takes into account the factors of race, class and sexual orientation on women’s experiences, PragerU somehow concludes that “The progressive social justice ideology views people as members of groups rather than as individuals and looks to give certain privileges or exceptions to certain victim groups.” Um, that has nothing to do with the article. The article never once mentions “social justice,” the idea of groups over individuals, privileges or special treatment of the idea of victimhood so I’m not really sure where PragerU got that one from?
    Source 4: You can’t not laugh at the fact that PragerU cited themselves. They actually cited themselves. Moreover, there are no citations on the video PragerU cited meaning I can’t check if the claims they make in this other video are true without doing my own research. Say what you will about these other sources, but no good academic institution includes “my brain” in their Works Cited page.
    Source 5: They cited themselves again! But this time the video includes sources and the original citation seems more about Jordan Peterson than PragerU so I’m less annoyed this time. Side note: if you think Jordan Peterson is a good philosopher you should watch this: ruclips.net/video/4LqZdkkBDas/видео.html or this: ruclips.net/video/SEMB1Ky2n1E/видео.html. Also “postmodern neo-Marxism” (Jordan Peterson’s word for everything that is wrong in the world) is a contradictory statement. Postmodernism and Marxism are often at odds with each other so it would be very difficult to be both at the same time. Side note over. I was pretty sure that Jordan Peterson didn’t write the script for the video he narrated so I looked in the description of that video for a source on the claim PragerU makes in this video (sorry if this is confusing I’m trying to keep it simple without using the word “video” 50 times in one sentence). So I looked for a source on the claim Peterson makes in the video and there is one. Oh wait, it’s just another Jordan Peterson lecture and honestly, I have no interest in listening to a man who built his whole career off of transphobia and contradictory ideas. So to conclude source 5, it’s either Peterson pointing at himself and going “my brain” or it’s PragerU pointing at Peterson going “his brain,” which is not exactly academic research.
    Sources 6 and 7: They’re basically just bible quotes. I have no problem with bible quotes. I have a slight problem with people basing their political philosophy off of something that has the possibility of not being real (not saying He’s not real, just saying that it theoretically could be a possibility given that, at the moment, we don’t have any confirmed proof for the existence of God), but I really don’t feel like debating the existence of God.
    Source 8: Mostly just bashes “the Left” without a source. It’s another article from the National Review, but this time its conservative stance is even more on display. I don’t think there was a single paragraph that didn’t make a statement about “the Left” as a group with absolutely no evidence. I’m all for critiquing the use of religion within politics, but this is not the way to go about it.
    Sources 9 and 10: Bible quotes again. If you skipped sources 6 and 7 just go back and read that.

They’re essentially saying “if you want to check my facts, just read my facts again.” I was so shocked I actually reloaded the page and clicked on the link again to make sure I hadn’t done something wrong, but no. They actually cited the same video as a source for the video I’m citing sources on.
      Source 13: At least we’re citing articles again. This is by the Daily Beast which is a website which includes articles about different topics like politics and entertainment. Although the website’s former editor called the site “non-partisan,” an independent source said the website was definitely Left-leaning. So maybe choose a less biased source next time. Overall, I liked the article, it made a good point about how well meaning people can treat black people differently and act extremely racist under the guise of “social justice.” I think that this should be taken as advice to white people concerned about social justice rather than a scientific study, though. What I mean by that is we must make sure to remember that this is anecdotal evidence, the author is telling an anecdote so we cannot draw the conclusion, as many probably want to, that everyone acting under the label “social justice” is racist in this way or that people who are racist in this way must be working under the label “social justice.” There is probably some correlation between the paternal racism the author describes and people who work under the cause of “social justice,” but I don’t think that it is 1:1.
      Source 14: This source is from The Atlantic. Although it is less left than source 13, it is still a mildly left magazine. Once again, it’s just not as credible as a scientific study, but I like this article. It cites a number of different studies while going about it’s findings and does a fairly good job at combining larger, more general research with interesting, more personal stories like that of the UCLA example. I didn’t know much about collegiate affirmative action policies before reading this and I now feel like I have a solid grasp of the basic facts so that is a good start. I think the conclusion PragerU makes is a little too general, almost like they read the headline and the last sentence, but not the whole article. The actual article provides a lot of nuance in the way it covers the topic, explaining how small amounts of affirmative action that help bring disadvantaged students to a level playing field is good, while the affirmative action seen at many extremely selective schools overly compensates and hurts minorities. It draws an interesting comparison between affirmative action that would, theoretically, work and affirmative action that doesn’t. PragerU apparently doesn’t see that comparison saying “Social justice initiatives, like affirmative action, hold groups to different standards-and studies have shown that it just serves to marginalize and stigmatize those groups.” I mean, that’s the thesis of the article sure, but an article is much more than a thesis, mate.
      Source 15: This source is an article from the New York Daily News. Although it was a self-labelled republican newspaper, it has begun to lean left, as of late. Still not unbiased, though. If you’re reading this PragerU researchers, please start citing actual peer-reviewed studies. It’ll make you seem a lot more credible. This source is very similar to source 14, really similar. It makes the same point and, although they don’t cite their sources, the wording makes me think they used the same studies as The Atlantic. If you want my opinion on the use of this source, just go read about source 14.
      Source 16: PragerU pulls a classic PragerU and cites themselves again, well, they cite Ben Shapiro, but it’s in a PragerU video. Luckily, the video in question has sources. Unluckily, the source for the fact I’m looking for is a broken link. It’s basically just Ben Shapiro complaining about “the Left” as he is wont to do.
      Source 17: The Atlantic again. If you want my opinion on the magazine as a whole, see source 14. I liked this article too (good job The Atlantic!)I felt that it had a strong scientific basis and yet it was still able to maintain that anecdotal style that keeps people reading. It used college campuses as a good main example while branching out at the end to show other conditions where this same culture might arise; taking scenarios from people both right and left on the political spectrum. Similar to my issue with source 14, I feel like PragerU lost a lot of the nuance in their own interpretation. Possibly in an effort to serve up bite-sized facts, I think PragerU can sometimes oversimplify issues with a lot of nuance. All the conditions to create a “victimhood culture” listed in the article were not unique to college campuses and nowhere was it stated that the ideology in place had to be one of progressive origin. So I am unsure of how PragerU came to the conclusion that “Progressive-controlled college campuses are increasingly characterized by ‘victimhood culture.’” Using the scientists definitions of victimhood culture, one could easily create examples of right-wing spaces that engage in the same culture.
      Conclusion: Thank you to PragerU for citing your sources. Maybe cite better sources though? I would like to see more primary sources, more scientific studies and less traditional journalism. Also, don’t cite yourself. Sorry if you read this looking for fact checking, but I just wasn’t feeling it tonight. Have a good night and wish me luck with my Physical Chemistry project :)

    "You shall not follow the masses in doing evil, nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to turn aside after a multitude in order to pervert justice; nor shall you be partial to a poor man in his dispute."
    Leviticus 19:15
    You shall do no injustice in judgment; you shall not be partial to the poor nor defer to the great, but you are to judge your neighbor fairly.
    Deuteronomy 16:20
    Justice, and only justice, you shall pursue, that you may live and possess the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
    Romans 2:9-11
    There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek, but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For there is no partiality with God.

    Justice
    The unfailing consequence of blessings for righteous thoughts and acts, and punishment for unrepented sin. Justice is an eternal law that requires a penalty each time a law of God is broken (Alma 42:13-24). The sinner must pay the penalty if he does not repent (Mosiah 2:38-39; D&C 19:17). If he does repent, the Savior pays the penalty through the Atonement, invoking mercy (Alma 34:16).

    The law exists for one reason only and it is to stop or redress an injustice.
    In order to remain just, the law has to remain a negative. When the law becomes a positive, injustices are created.
    Progressive taxation, hate crimes, Affirmative Action are all examples of what happens when a law or act is created to be a positive for some but creates a negative for other.
    There are only three basic human rights: freedom, property ownership and the right to defend yourself and your property.
    If the Government enacts any law or act which fails to uphold all three basic rights, then injustices are created.

      @@stevenfarrall3942 There's a difference between propaganda which is meant to sound logical, and an argument which needs to follow the rules of logic. What she's doing here is propaganda. Here I'll show you:
      - Pretending that people who say "the Lord is a God of social justice", actually think the Bible says that, and then arguing against that point as if it was one someone was making: Strawman.
      - Presenting social justice as "getting what you don't deserve because you are favored". Last I checked trans people aren't really represented in our legal system in any way other than "Hey, leave these people alone maybe. But if you do mess with them... eeeh we won't enforce it": Misrepresentation
      - Comparing justice in one context (the ideal) to social justice in another (the practice), as though if the situations were reversed you couldn't still make this exact argument. The practice of justice isn't blind and the ideals of social justice are still broadly good: A false analogy.
      - Pretending social justice would be applied in a court system rather than social justice being a school of thought for exposing systemic problems within the court system that do exist, and then using that fantasy to paint how ridiculous it would be to avoid a guilty verdict if the person had a bad upbringing as if that's what social justice advocates for: Misrepresentation.
      I'm not going to pretend like these are easy to point out. Like they're designed to make them hard to point out because that's how propaganda works and maybe my glib dismissal of their points made you think I was calling you stupid for not being able to point them out, for which I apologize.

Look I'm an atheist, but even if I was a Christian I would be against this because it sets a precident of discrimination, third. The points brought up in this video are complete garbage, and misrepresents what social justice is. Social justice is holding black people to the exact same standards as white people.

People's biases impact how they judge people so they must be accounted for when someone is judged, lest the get off better or or worse just because of their gender or the color of their skin.

      This is just a description for justice as a concept.
      Justice does not exist, there is only power. Sure, sometimes people with power try and invent excuses why they're the good guys, but that's all they are - Excuses.
      Justice is just the word for what the guy with a gun wants.

You do know justice encapsulates so much more than what most people think? I'm sure an armchair intellect well studied in philosophy such as you knows!
      I've seen the video and it uses God as a source of authority in its argument which does not support your pov. Read the bible. If it were a suggestion of mere compassion, It's odd that Jesus literally says that all the law and prophets hang on this. Matt 22: 37:40.

    My horror here leaves me almost paradoxically speechless and with so much to say that I would surpass any character limit in any comment field many times over. A RUclips comment seems a horrible place to debate, but I must respond.
    This is a terrifying distortion of a biblical view of justice. I would say biblical justice, but darn those pesky adjectives...
    No, screw it, biblical justice.
    Biblical justice pairs mishpat and tzadeqah. Mishpat, which this video seems to attempt to convey, “is giving people what they are due, whether punishment or protection or care (Generous Justice, 4).” Mishpat would care about context, because in the small view this video gives of the development of criminality, the criminal should have received mishpat for the way they were treated as a child in addition to the mishpat they are due for their actions against another person. Tzadeqah, often translated as “righteousness,” “...refers to a life of right relationships (ibid, 10).” This again addresses the context of the relationships; not only does mishpat tie into the above example, but the presence of tzadeqah - right, just relationship - would have precluded the need for mishpat in the future. The law was created in order to protect mishpat and tsadeqah, and to protect the most vulnerable in society - the poor, the widow, the orphan, and the immigrant. These ideas are echoed in the words of Christ - “truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me (Matt. 25:40, NIV).”
    I don’t even know what else to cover - the thread is so broad it spans the entire Bible, from the law and the prophets to Christ and the epistles. And through all this coverage, nowhere is justice blind. “Blind” justice (hmm...an adjective) falsely presumes not only an equal starting place, but that there is equal treatment. Justice without concern for context, without care for marginalized groups, is not biblical, nor is it truly just.

He would welcome them with open arms, and if he saw someone suffering, even in a different country, he would try to help them. Globalism is the idea that you're not any more or less important than a woman in Nigeria, and the rich countries should do more to help the poor countries. IE: the rich helping the poor.
