The real change about the Absolute Universe is apparently that 91% of people can agree on something

Just in general, it wouldn't make much sense. A lot of their main counterparts are middle class or higher and/or completely out of touch with life outside of their own bubbles.

Many of the absolute versions are the opposite- especially Diana and Kal, who travel across the entire planet to help people. And I'm sure that them meeting each other and grouping up will pull those paying less attention to societal issues (like Wally or Jo), and those who are focusing on a single city (like Bruce or... well I don't think John's staying in one place much longer) into the fray as well.

They may be the same people, but they've lived completely different lives and have completely different goals. Most major heroes in the main JL focus on defeating/saving people from villains and other criminals without questioning the source too much. They protect the status quo, and don't really touch political corruption or capitalism with a ten foot pole unless the writer wants to. Economically, most of them can live their lives and fund their league without having to turn to the same illegal means that the criminals they face do (even if some of the stuff they do is still illegal (or at least in a gray area)).

But their Absolute counterparts are directly facing corruption and capitalism, and they're moral codes either give no shits about legality or are currently changing bc they're being hunted by the government. Each of them can be fit on a scale of 'currently unlearning social bias - never believed propaganda in the first place'. They'll be coming together not to pool resources and work together against some wacky criminals and the occasional alien invasion- they'll be coming together to rescue the planet from it's own corruption ...and possibly occasional alien invasions. Looking at GL.

So this group should not be written as the 'Absolute Justice League', but as a completely different group/alliance with the goal of saving their world from ALL of it's corruption. Does that make sense?

Oh my god yes, YES. That would be so cool. Let me put on my nerd hat for a moment! It's been a hot minute, but there's this language development theory called the Universal Language Acquisition Device that when babies babble they are replicating sounds that correspond with whatever language is spoken in their environment. I think this theory is one of Chomsky's? Anyway

...Hang on a minute, I just realized this isn't relevant to the ask at all! Ha! Well I'm keeping it because it's fascinating.
