That is different from prioritizing imagined, hypothetical injustice over real, actual injustice. Something obviously bad happens, and everyone falls over them

That is different from prioritizing imagined, hypothetical injustice over real, actual injustice. Something obviously bad happens, and everyone falls over themselves to correct and defend not the bad thing that just happened, but a thing they just imagined might happen. It's a very peculiar (and fairly revealing) thought pattern.
