Social justice in the Internet age

My passion for social justice has often brought me into conflict with people, as did my aversion to any obligation and dependence I do not regard as absolutely necessary. I always have a high regard for the individual and have an insuperable distaste for violence and clubmanship.

… Privileges based on position and property have always seemed to me unjust and pernicious, as did any exaggerated personality cult.

This article is a speech by Albert Einstein to the German League of Human Rights, Berlin, in the autumn of 1932.

Watching privileged folks *usually male* publicly patting themselves on the back for the hard work performed by others is beyond boredom inducing ear vomit. This moral midget with his ethically retarded super sized ego is always outed. Eventually, and I truly believe this, if the destructive path previously allowed and overlooked continues - there will be a downfall for all parties involved.

Collapse is inevitable in these situations - the speed of the Internet citizen journalist is swift and brutal in exposing.
