Matt,
This is dreadful, and displays your ignorance to a very disturbing degree.
Reality IS just, and is therefore the concern of everyone, regardless of
their position.
Nazi's are just in that they forcefully promote their social values over
those of everyone else. In fact, jews do the same, but in a less offensive
way, and so on as is the case with all social patterns; that is their
business, to compete for survival. The best social values promote
intellectual freedom, and are measured by intellectual freedom.
A Nazi cannot highjack the MoQ, for the MoQ explicitly states the above.
This points to a feature of the MoQ which promotes variety within a unified
whole; that is to say, the MoQ values Dynamism and wishes for those
circumstances to exist that help to resonate reality in a just, beautiful,
and harmonious unity.
When Rorty separates that which cannot be so, you begin to sound like a bit
of an ignoramus.
