whether it promotes good and justice or not

Do you think that there's enough of a consensus on what constitutes "good and justice" to marginalize those who disagree? E.g. call them "crazy" and not listen to them?

It's tricky. You do want to call some people crazy and stop listening to them. The question is which people.

That is true. A more general question is: On which basis (e.g. their values? your values? rationality? smell?) should you decide which people to not listen to.
