Justice only cares about fairness/equality, not what is humane.
Not true. Inhumane treatment is by definition never fair and thus never just.
That you consider that a “utopian ideal” rather than the minimum requirement for civilized humans says a lot about you and whatever society has warped your worldview.
I think it says more about your reading comprehension than anything.
Justice not necessarily being a utopian ideal means “Justice” isn’t necessary for a utopia. “The maintenance or administration of what is just, especially by the impartial adjustment of conflicting claims or the assignment of merited rewards or punishments”(Merriam-Webster) isn’t necessary in a utopia. In fact, it’s counterintuitive. “Justice” doesn’t care if you stole for fun or [perceived] necessity. “Justice” doesn’t care if you killed someone for self-defense, anger, or a casual disregard for human life.
Justice and what you’re envisioning are as different from each other as “social equality” is from “social equity”.
But it was cool of you to take time to climb atop your high horse before misunderstanding.
