Exactly. Justice, equality, and non-violence can be easily misdirected or co-opted.
Justice being the most obvious - justice for whom, and how, and for what? An overzealous desire for justice is one of the most destructive forces you can muster.
Equality is another. Equality for whom, and accomplished how? Violent redistribution seeks equality. A lot of antisemitism is rooted in outrage over inequality. The entire equality of outcome versus equality of opportunity debate we are having right now exists because those two values of equality are fundamentally in conflict.
