   Why does social justice talk still refer back to the Book of Amos?

   Because books about morality that tell people that they are good are bullshit. If society is in a bad situation then most of the people who you are addressing are going to be bad people.

   The Book of Amos also adds that the crash when it comes is going to hurt both the innocent and guilty alike -- perhaps the innocent even more.

     Fascists glory in their supposed badness: "I'm an edgelord, I'm powerful, I'm going to do sadistic things because it's fun" etc. OK, they've said who they are, now people can fight them.

     Liberals say that they're good and that the US is good or at least that its ideals are good. Then they do all the same things, but with a disapproving look on their faces so you'll know they're good.

     @richpuchalsky I was just thinking similarly today with how disappointingly business as usual Dems are trying to be bipartisan with actual nazis as if there is ANY common ground, while trying to appear like the good guys for doing that bending towards fascists to work together, instead of obstructing with all their power. They either cannot read the room, the writing on the wall, or get their feet unstuck from the profiteering they’re in.
