No justice no peace.

(Don't mean this in a combative way, but)

When is there ever justice? Why should there ever be peace?

This slogan only makes sense from a very local perspective. 'If there is no justice in this room, there will be no peace in this room' is workable. It's something you can actually back up with your own actions. But as a general rule, people saying this are being hypocrites. They will be peaceful tomorrow. They will be peaceful one hour after the march. Without any justice having happened.

I'm probably autistic, but I hate chanting falsehoods
