There is a bit of creative destruction. But I think I get what you are saying. You don’t like the tearing things down and not putting anything better in its place.

The question is really does truth make itself justice (in the world). Maybe—if you believe. -
Humans have incomplete knowledge of truth and are therefore incapable of proper justice. But if there is a truth it will inflict justice for us, perhaps through us? Like Satyagraha, truth-force?

Yes. Truth would justify action. For Aristotle this is how the battle is won—Nicomachean means exactly that. You can fool yourself in myriad ways but not truth itself at the end of the day. Hence we speak of a poetic justice. This is the foundation of ethics/phronismos.

I appreciate all of the thoughts. I realize how hard it is to define the truth... We don't know, what we don't know. I'd say one should stand firmly for what they believe, but never back down from debate and a quality conversation. I'm not sure there is much more you can do.
