Excellent and succinct summary of the contradictions that result in injustice.
We also need to consider the structure and mandate of organizations that perpetuate this.
For example, insurance companies are structured to reduce costs by denying claims. People who are struggling with illness face onerous “burdens of proof”.
Some injustice is deliberately systemic.
How do you discern when this is happening? How do you respond to it?
That requires moving from burden to mechanism. Show that incentives, policies and repeated outcomes systematically reward denial rather than legitimate verification. If that pattern survives competing explanations, the systemic claim is earned. Then target the mechanism producing the injustice. Discernment does not stop at identifying harm. It follows the evidence to what keeps producing it.
