Ranking importance neutralizes social injustice as mere exception

Evidence

The division of the world into important and unimportant matters, which has always served to neutralize the key phenomena of social injustice as mere exceptions, should be followed up to the point where it is convicted of its own untruth. The division which makes everything objects must itself become an object of thought, instead of guiding it. — Theodor W. Adorno, Minima Moralia, 152
