equality is a lie. equality is a subjective value held by ideologs who hate reality and want you to discard your own self-interest in favor of theirs.
there is nothing noble, wise, or good about their ideology or their position. it's all about you making sacrifices for them so that they get what they want.
equality is a lie. you don't have to believe in equality or value it, at all.
Equality is good, it's just equal opportunities for anyone. What you do with said opportunity is 100% up to you and your skills. It's the foundation of meritocracy.
What the woke are claiming as "Equality" is actually called "Equity", and is a very different term. It's about giving some people better resources and advantages to "compensate for inequalities" (also known as "Complete BS").
"Equal opportunity" is a foot-in-the-door argument to get you to accept equality of outcome.
society isnt a boardgame with a start point and an end point. a kid's "opportunity" is his parents' "outcome".
i like this a lot to explain how even "equality of opportunity" can go awry, nice one.
still, i think a cultural entrepreneurial mindset with people trying to "make it out of their caste" as it were is not the worst thing in the world. india's caste system has just made their highborn inbred and their lowborn animalistic, and even doing away with the myths that the medieval ages were "dark" or evil, i think a lotta genetic anomaly farmer minds that could've been great inventors were probably forced to stay farmers, which is an injustice. nowadays we simply have the worldly prosperity to school everyone to a healthy baseline and present them with a few hopes for improvement - give them, or "equalize" their opportunity - and i don't think we should do away with that.
we probably hit the right balance 5-10 decades ago then rapidly abandoned it with this equality of outcome insanity.
yes I agree there has to be a balancig act. no one deserves to be fucked in life just due to unfortunate birth circumstances.
i have no issues with things like a strong public education system that would raise the "minimum opportunity level for everyone". though that is emphatically not "equal opportunity", but "baseline opportunity". and we must be accepting of people refusing to take it. "here is a helping hand. ah you actually want to drown? well, suit yourself. kthxbai.". no point wasting resources on someone actively sabotaging the opportunity he is being given.
ultimately i'm a firm believer, that as long as someone is not being actively hampered by (lets be charitable) ill advised social engineering, people eventually reach the level in society their genetics permit.
So you don't believe in any form of human rights then? You don't believe rights are God given to any and all humans?
If you don't have true equality, then the government can just choose to remove all form of opportunities they want from you.
What do you want instead then?
