Everything. Justice is a pretty clear concept. So-called "social justice" is no such beast. It has, at best, a very fuzzy, foggy definition in the typical Newspeak tradition such that the operating definition "floats" in order that any whim may be plausibly forwarded as resting within the definition. That is what Theye are all about, particularly in so-called "modern" times - let us say the past 150 years and definitely the past century. It is all part and parcel of what I call "scientifically engineered tyranny", which is the application of the relevant techniques in order to tune one's political instruments for virtually gaRONteed effect. It is really quite amazing to sit back and observe how this all proceeds and the tremendously consistent results that follow over what is now at least four full generations. I cannot prove it, but feel certain that the efficacy of scientific method was recognized long ago as having this kind of potential for the discovery of the methods and means of perfecting tyrannical control over large populations.

Perhaps "social justice" is actually a label for a program of injustice?

A good way of putting it.
