But yeah, if the idea is you can hate and grieve the thing done, but not have to inquire into whatever knot of external pressure and impossible situation and internal fracture made it happen on a personal level, that makes sense to me. And is, I think a project of social justice, because it makes a lot of things actually possible.

Yeah, that is what I meant, although as usual you put it rather more perceptively and eloquently than I was able to.

Not the least of which, a single conversation in which no one derails through defensivley explaining how they didn't mean it that way, it couldn't have been wrong, you can't judge things contextually you must only judge by personal motivation don't judge me OMG you're judging me!

Heh. Well, I did mean it that way, only I hadn't thought about it hard enough? :) I don't think, as a rule, I think about judging things(/systems) contextually enough, although I think I am naturally judgmental of other people, so I've also been trying to really work on my judgement of people's personal motivation. Which is part of the baggage I was bringing to this conversation as well. And it's really made me think about how much they are intertwined.
