What you're saying is very edgy and NRx an all but equality of opportunities is an okay goal all the same. Even if its impossible to 100% achieve.
The result of what you suggest is ..frankly shitty and inhuman.
Thank God civilized people in the West decided against it 200 years ago.
And we should be trying to give everyone a fair shake. A baseline from which every kid starts off equal. White kids, for example, born to poor, shitty parents shouldn't be doomed to Deaths of Despair forever, going down generations, on and on into infinity e.t.c e.t.c.
Hell, even if they fuck their entire lives up and are 50 years old we should be helping fellow citizens get their shit together and succeed.
It benefits us all.
Everyone sees this already. Lol. Seethe.
Equality of outcomes is ridiculous.
Its not.
It isn't (see end if this post).
I don't know what you're taking about here.
It isn't.
Concepts are important. Abstract thought is what sets humans apart from lower animals. See Piaget's theory of mental development.
Yes, that's true no matter what (equality minded or not)? Tolerance. Tolerance of both pain and pleasure. No matter the situation, people become used to it soon enough. But usually are recklessly wanting more, more, more.
Me:
You:
A jokey quip you apparently took seriously.
We're not living in the product of this one belief of mine we're living in a return to ethnic tribal identity which is particularly disastrous in a demographically multicultural society.
We were based on humanist liberalism.
Which I still champion a return to.
But no longer. That changed after Occupy Wall Street threatened those elites and so we got progressive stack and ID politics.
Me:
I guess it's only fair to offer my own proof. I often assume its self-evident for anyone involved or interested in geopolitics and history but... if you truly believe what you're saying (that equality is abhorrent) then apparently it's passed you by. Or I may just be wrong. So...
My proof is that
life expectancy,
wealth (both personal and society at large, now that there are less bread riots and revolutions to quell),
literacy and
amount of opportunities in life (to move, to better oneself, to escape abusive/disfunctional families, disengage from conformist/exploitative tribal alliances...think House Frey, to use one popular and I think apposite example... [1]
...have all, on average, increased for people blessed enough to live in post-Enlightenment Western nations.
Childhood death,
Enslavement,
Rape of sisters, mothers and daughters
(God knows what people sorry nowadays, I may have to defend the idea that rathore is abhorrent next!)
...have declined in those Western, civilized countries.
In fact you might say that equality is the bedrock of civilization itself. I dunno. Never thought of that before.
Granted:
This came at the expense of a larger class of elites. Of dedicated thinkers [2](ex. Newton) relaxing atop a pyramid of brutally overworked, hereditarily condemned, underclass slaves. But we still have enough at the top that enjoy their parental and hereditary wealth to sit back... enjoying a free and nearly unlimited creative pallet of opportunities to stream, experiment, fearlessly fail time and tune again knowing they'll be whisked off back home to recover and try once more, like modern day trustafarian gutter punks, like "George Orwell " (Eric Blair) etc.
Basically that a worldwide pyramid of slavery allows the people at the very top free time to discover more improvements. And that group was larger, in Europe, back then.
But we still have quite a large group in America currently. So... no fear there, lad! Your (neo) feudalism is safe... "for the nonce." (I really enjoyed SoIaF as read by Roy Dotrice, does it show?)
[1] Game of Thrones, if nothing else, presented the most realistic (even if all but one main character was nobility / 'high borne', most other renderings were even more rose-tinted), mass consumed (worldwide audience with people in India, Russia, Mexico and yes even the US still downloading the entire series, presumably some of whomever are watching it for the first time.And all this years after it concluded!) view into what life was like pre-Enlightenment.
It was a very successful memetic and, not by accident, coincided with the popularization of Neoreaction, which up to that point existed wholly in the shadows, say 0.2% not 2. Of course, like those espousing a Fascist or Communist form of government, those idealizing Feudalism 'oft as not' imagine themselves taking part in some exciting quest or, less likely still, "runnin shit" as an inner circle tyrant and not the more likely scenario where they're simply born into the wrong family a d doomed to a life of abject misery. Grinding away their entire lives from the time they can walk to the time they drop dead at the plow, working some nullifying, deadening, monotonous job year after year, surrounded by people who've never left the hamlet and can't read or multiply abstract numbers. Nevermind paint, compose poetry, lay about thinking of odd, edgy political possibilities to support, etc.
[2] "Refusal of work"
"Are you going to continue to make a series of declarative statements or are you going to fuckin' tell me something?" Sorry, couldn't resist.

But yeah, now prove it.
You should try less hard. We're online. Nothing you or I say here really matters. Not to me at least. You'll hardly change your mind and at this point people who believe like you make up about 2% of the population so who reading this matters enough to put forth the effort? Really, I'm just passing the time waiting for other things more important to happen in real life.
I don't think you really know what humanist or liberalism mean. If you did you'd understand that humanist liberals no longer think of themselves as "middle eastern" or "south american" but as individuals untethered to ethnic or national identities.
People claim to be all sorts of things they are not to mask their greed. This isn't news to me.
Finally some useful and novel information. Thank you, kind sir.
Adding this edit here because edits on win never seem to show up.
It isn't. Edit: actually you are technically right it is a meme. An idea that acts as a gene and has, thankfully, spread and replicated.
Also, I didn't downvote you. Here, have an up... for what it's worth (nothing, in the bigger scheme of things).
