@@Edgelord-rn9he in 1970, the average ceo compensation was around 24.5 times more than their average worker.(ok, fair enough, they earned it) It is now on average 350 times more and commonly as high as 1200 times. The rich have simply been getting richer. You don't even have to be "woke" to see that nobody can be 350 times more important, or work 350 times harder than the average employee. Its all about capital allocation and negotiating power (be it luck, be it connections, be it a bit of hard work too).

I hope you realize that it was actually a parody of the right wing straw man of socialism wanting total equality. Did you notice what Bergeron did when he rebelled and took off his handicaps? He makes himself emperor. Vonnegutt was a socialist.

@@rugbyguy59 Yes, Bergeron the evil right wing parody took absolute power from an absurdly frail social structure as soon as he got the chance. What did Stalin do with Trotski's invitation to Lenin's funeral? Socialism is science fiction. It will be cooperative capitalism what takes us to the next level of societal organization. The left will call it "democratic socialism" but it will be private profit motive that funds UBI, commonwealth funds and renewable energy for the purpose of sustaining consumption in a post-labor world.

@Stroggoii Yes, the right wing character is parodied as well. But the primary parody is the Cold War propaganda view of equality to hide the real ideas of socialism. Perhaps it will be cooperative capitalism but the profit motive will have to be directed to the areas of society’s needs not pure private interests. There are a variety of issues with the theory. But if you can fulfill the needed goals of allowing all people to live a decent standard of life while keeping the total economy within the natural limits of the planet (something capitalism has so far completely failed at) then I’ll support it. Frankly it sounds close to market socialism which might provide what is needed through democratizing the economy. Personally I think we need a wide range of methods... and it’s needed quickly. The market is currently failing to address a great many issues as it is. Stalin likely didn’t do anything with Trotsky’s invite. He did claim years later to have tricked Trotsky but the evidence just as easily supports other reasons such as Trotsky’s own arrogance. Not sure what that point was about other than whataboutism I guess. So when are you starting your cooperative capitalism movement.

Equality of opportunity provides in a sense that all start the race of life at the same time. Equality of outcome attempts to ensure that everyone finishes at the same time. People get what they earn by hard work, if everyone finishes at the same time, why bother working hard? Everyone would be incompetent.

To get equality of opportunity you do have to fiddle with things in society that will also create equality of outcome.

@@lordbunbury Humans already have an equality of outcome. It's called death.

What should be the most concerning is that we are currently on the path to the dystopian nightmare being described in this video

I got this in my recommended 👍

Went through the same in Texas. Only difference was we didn't get paid anything for our labor. The guards were mostly from Nigeria and were paid very little. We were treated like absolute garbage regardless of race, sexual orientation, etc. You couldn't go to the bathroom without asking permission. If the guards were in a bad mood, they could punish you through commissary restrictions. No air conditioning or heaters during the Winter or brutal Texas Summer heat. I very much agree with your point.

Prison is very much a good representation of a small-scale Communist state.

To think there is an demographic of woke marxists that want this to be the human experience for the billions while themselves thinking they would be living in luxury as the party elite.

hey were the guards equal, or the cops who arrested you?

the people who want everyone to be equal have never experienced the reward of being better and out competing another. they are weak and belong in the soil

That’s what it’s touted as. Racial quotas, for instance, are not “fair and equal access”. A political system in which 2 parties have made it impossible for any others to have any real chance is not “fair and equal access”, and now one of those parties is openly expressing a desire and intent to make it a 1 party system. It’s the same old shit in some shiny new packaging. Religions, communism, etc.. “We will solve all your problems and make life better for you all! All we need is your blind, unquestioning allegiance!”

Thats the theory, but in practice its not whats happening. Our society is promoting equality of outcome instead of equality of opportunity. Things are a lot worse than you think

The naivete is impressive, I'll give you that.

And how many Amendments of the Bill of Rights will you infringe to get there?

You haven't been paying much attention then

@David Hamilton you obviously haven't researched this. All top fields of society, politics, media, law all come from certain sectors of society. Even politicians say social mobility has stagnated. Poor people cant pay to go to private schools. Are prisons are filled with people from council estates. Youd have to be naive to believe the uk is a meritocracy.

I hope you know equal opportunity is fictional. A black man and a white man open a business, they get the same loan, get the business ready at the same time, share the same open hours. The customers prefer the white business just because it is run by a white man, the black man loses money and goes bankrupt. There is NOTHING you can do about this sort of inequality, not now, not ever. People's biases and how they act on them can only be managed to an extent, there are innumerable instances where this exact concept applies, looks, gender etc. Equality of opportunity is as deluded as equality of outcome.

The system is fascism, not capitalism.

The video didn’t state that advocates of equality claim we’re all equal. It is talking about people who push for equality, or as is more fashionable “equity”. The most charitable characterization of each side is that equity proponents believe more opportunities need to be given to the disadvantaged, and their opponents believe that inequity is somewhat natural and more extreme measures to enforce equity will do more harm than good. Not everyone deserves such a charitable description though. There are clearly people who instinctively seek to tear down high-achievers to make themselves feel better, and others who think that the less fortunate are almost wholly to blame for their own suffering.

@@frankjennings4489 Equity is the deliberate destruction of individual achievement and the independent mind. Its death-worship, not hedonism.

"...simply an eradication of discrimination..." Not really. Politicians cultivate and feed various victim groups in order to harvest votes and increase their power. They couldn't give a fuck less about eradicating discrimination because they are ardent practitioners of bigotry themselves-the belief that they are the rulers and we are the ruled. People should be free to discriminate however they choose. I'm not saying people should be free to hurt anyone without consequence, just that discrimination is a thought process, and no one has any business policing anyone else's thoughts. The over-emphasis on ending discrimination is the thing that ends up keeping people from getting on with their lives because they're being told they can't get or do what they want because of discrimination. So instead of acting in spite of any real or imagined discrimination, they focus on the discrimination. This is very disempowering and victim-minded and exactly where those in power want them to stay.

@@bobleglob162 ‘people should be free to discriminate however the choose’.. so basically in your opinion it’s ok to openly discriminate others based on their gender, age, skin colour, sexuality, religion.. and by doing so potentially affect their ability to access public services, employment, housing, healthcare..

@@pol85eu89 he's saying that if in your heart of hearts you are a racist, then feel free to be or think like a racist. But if your racism interferes with someone else's ability to get ahead in life, then that is a grounds for interference by an authority to remedy the situation. But "the eradication of discrimination," should not be understood as controlling what people think. If you think in racist terms, then you ought to be free to think in racist terms. I think people are too eager to be justice warriors that we don't stop to think how our actions have consequences that would eventually result in more, undesired problems. It is the result of thinking with your heart and not your head. Okay, so you've coerced everyone into not being a racist by force (laws). No can even have racist thoughts. What's next? You're going to coerce everyone that doesn't like purple into liking purple? You may think you are on the right side of the argument here, but if we truly followed what you are advocating into the more extreme cases, you would ironically end up inevitably with another kind of totalitarian form of rule. You have to allow people the freedom to think what they want at least. Otherwise, put yourself in their shoes. If not racism, then some other topic about which you have an opinion. What if someone told you that you couldn't think that anymore?

@@josecasillas4081 the thing is tho.. thoughts lead to actions (especially if those thoughts represent an individual’s core values and beliefs) Racists don’t just sit at home, they have jobs and play a role in society.. parents, teachers, nurses, police officers, employers.

As it is now they might hold their abhorrent views in their heads but are prevented from spreading it and acting on it.. therefore they take their racist thoughts with them to their graves… and that’s how discrimination is slowly eradicated. We can’t deny people basic human rights ‘now’.. just because you are paranoid one day is some dystopian future the colour purple would be banned.. we are alive right now & many of us are suffering because of ‘real’ discrimination

​@@infinitydreamzz what provisions?

If your "diverse" opinion is, for example an unfounded and provably false claim, such as "x race of homo sapien is inferior to x race" or "homosexuality is unnatural" then maybe its not totalitarian to not lend a platform to it. Not lending a platform to it is also not the same as suppression by force. Maybe such "diversity" should not be tolerated, not only because it is false, but because its premise presupposes the oppression/suppression of immutable traits, they can and have been used to crush free expression of those in a collective society. In other words, such opinions have no place in a society. Is it really so radical to suggest you don't have the right to harm others with your personal bullshit?

If people collectively and democratically shut you down because your premise impedes on diversity and inclusion. It may not seem diverse because most are in agreement, but in my example, their (the person being shut down, canceled, whatever you want to call it) premise would be anti diverse in a way. Sure its different from the majority opinion, so by that definition sure its "diverse" but it is touted to promote the exclusion and denial of the rights and existence of other people. But again being deplatformed and actually not having the rights to say something are two different issues. Just because you should have the right to say whatever you want doesn't exactly mean you should be able to project through a microphone

Should we even let them have the platform to stand on, to recruit, to convince, to echo to each other? I guess echo chambers are a different discussion on screen-time based algorithms and ad revenue and what not but still. Am I really oppressing them or am I stopping them from spreading their ideology of oppression to others?

@@kylekns8924 The more we spend time interacting with algorithms that keep showing us what we already want to see, the more radicalized one can be to potentially freedom limiting ideologies. I don't believe its possible to argue anymore that there is a free marketplace of ideas and that the good ideas beat out the bad just by nature of the "goodness" or the "effectiveness" (competitive advantage) of ideas. In a way it can be a lot easier and more comforting to believe in nonsense. Here's where it gets interesting. What do you believe about truth? When something is understood to be a stable theory and have a general concensus amongst the scientific community like climate change, the effects of pollution, homosexuality, the lack of difference between races, its hard to agree for the people that deny robust theories backed by enormous and repeatable evidence that these are even "opinions" anymore. Sure people hold these false beliefs for whatever reasons. You're entitled to opinions and a free society should never deny you that, but you are not entitled to your own "alternative facts". TONS of people wanted to believe all sorts of nonsense during this pandemic and ended up paying with their lives for it. So this misinformation was literally killing people, sure they choose not to become vaccinated, they choose to go to the store even knowing they tested positive, these are all exercises of freedom in an individual sense, but many got themselves and others hurt or killed. Whether they believed vaccines were harmful, or they didn't even think there was a virus, it didn't change that there WAS a virus nor did it change the effectiveness of preparing your immune system for coming in contact with it. Same with climate, you can choose to have the opinion that its not real, that a God is in control of the world, and that man has no impact on Earth's balance but it doesn't change the fact that taking billions of tons of fossilized Flora and Fauna out of the ground and burning it will inevitably start to mess with the delicate balance that much of life depends on. Or even more human wise, that one race being superior to another when in fact we are the same animal. This kind of opinion can drive people to strive for power and control over one another. To suppress/oppress other groups of humans based on provably false beliefs that can be literally demonstrated to be based on lousy or completely made up observations. To allow it seems like it generally takes away from freedom. 1 in 10 children died before their first birthday of preventable disease before mass immunization efforts thats just true, opinions don't change the nature of reality. What good is freedom for the individual if your opinion (which was influenced by false beliefs) got you killed? What good is freedom for the individual, if biodiversity (possible medicines, food, materials.) is diminished? Where people die early from toxic air and water, or from worsening weather events, or from a climate not safe to be outside (equatorial regions). What good is freedom for the individual if racist fascists hold power and start executing or enslaving all non Arayans?

I agree. You have no idea between equality as a theory and equality as applied. Equality as applied is always discriminatory, and equality in theory is an ideal never achieved.

It's equality of opportunity vs equality of outcome. There should be some of the latter (just so that people don't starve if they can't adapt to the system), but the former is a better principle for society in general. And yes, it doesn't deny excellence or freedom in any way.

Exactly!

But those conditions are perhaps in part a product of those natural inequalities of the individual. And separating the two as if any imbalance of material circumstance were an expression of a flawed system might simply lead to levelling individual expression. But I presume that’s the aim. You can say that material prosperity of birth can’t be the result of that individual’s self-expression (rather their parents/ guardians), but who are we to divert the fruits of that material prosperity elsewhere, and to whom do we allocate it and under what justification? Although extreme nepotism can promote decadence and complacency in the silver-spooned, it’s a flawed attempt to constrain resources towards those whose traits better enable them to maximise its utility. At least the prevailing assumption is that if the parents had desirable traits (such as virtue, IQ, wisdom, etc.) then it’s reasonable that the children will inherit these traits and be suitably equipped to productively use (and perhaps even multiply) their parents’ resources. Nepotism doesn’t seem to work well in practice of course, but the problem here is the heritability of certain desirable traits, not the distribution of material prosperity among those whose self-expression of their traits (presumably virtuous) bore it through their labour. So the question should be: what are the set of traits which better enable someone to independently acquire resources and to use them wisely and productively? And when we can identify such individuals, at birth or in childhood, we now have a model for the allocation of resources: be them educational, financial, or whatever. Until then, attacking the relative privileges and advantages of some does nothing to solve the actual problem, which is that those who are deserving occasionally miss out on opportunities which they’d have otherwise put to good use. The questions we then must ask are: who are the deserving, and how do we compensate for their disadvantage?

First off, believing Hobbes and his theories isn't exactly the best way to delve into deeper philosophy. His concept of human nature is shoddy at best, and was disproved by both Locke and Rousseau, plus any examination of anthropology, especially primatology. Second, anthropology and history also disprove your ethnocentrism towards the modern technological milieu. Humans have always lived into their 70s. However, only now are cancers and lifestyle diseases a problem, and only now are mental health issues at such a high mark, and only now are man-made creations capable of wiping out the entire species, and only now is the biggest killer of humanity each year things that are necessary to survive (car accidents). Life is as dangerous and unfulfilling now as it has ever been. Freedom is restricted by every measure compared to 100 years ago, and suicide is at a tremendously high rate.

Review you comment until you notice the isms, I this, I that etc. Given the world today some feel need to tell their life story in comment section, meaning in real time it's worse. Don't know if ur female/male, don't care. If someone's watching this video they might have a chance in life, so I commented. No bad intensions, if it bothers you it's on you.. if you can laugh you've matured over the year. I'm always shocked over ego telling it's story in comment section, so I attack Ego's.

​@@keithhart3212Ahh.. keep putting in the work my brethren.. I know you will surely grow outta that limited and outdated mental construct, that was ingrained into our society, and possibly you'll choose to replace it with something more befitting for a magnificent soul like yourself.. you certainly deserve to be free from that hurt and pain that has left you to carry so much division, fear, judgment, disdain, hostility and anger in your heart and spirit.. release those things that no longer serve your greatest potential and highest good.. you are heard, worthy, valid, respected, extraordinary and deeply loved and cared about, so you no longer need to attack others who have done nothing to cause you any harm or misfortune.. for when we attack others, we are only attacking ourselves, and we only attack or harm ourselves and others, when our unhealed pain is subconsciously triggered.. there is plenty of space for others to share whatever they wish, wherever they wish, as long as they are not seeking to spread negativity or cause harm to others.. every time we share our stories and perspectives with others, we open ourselves to connecting with each other, which is the remedy for healing the divisiveness that has been the root cause of a great deal of the immense dysfunction and violence in our society for far to long.. SENDING YOU SO MUCH MORE LOVE, PEACE, HEALING AND INFINITE BLESSINGS DEAR ONE.. STAY BLESSED NOT STRESSED 💖💖🙏🙏🌟🌟🤗🤗❤❤

mktwinsmovies :: You just nailed it ! & very concisely ! These ideas ( expressed in the video & some in the comment-section ) are the money-making ideas of Jordan Peterson's overall shit-show.

A very good point. God forbid we should have equality of health care, free education, and a pension in our old age. Equality in food shelter and clothing. Oh the horror. If everyone had their needs met how could we feel superior to everyone else? All we would have left to do is get along with each other and enjoy life. For the bent and insecure among us this would be a bridge too far. Such people prefer to worry about whom will steal their cheese.

Wealth inequality is irrelevant. The most inequal country in the world is actually the Netherlands where the heiress to the East India Company and plenty reserved aristocrats live among an average population that's rich by world standards. Income inequality needs to be addressed not by taking away the wealth of the superlative, but by eliminating mindless labor and forcing more people into real value production by deregulating entrepreneurship and subsidizing self-employment. People like Musk and Bezos don't own billions of instances of labor units, that's not what post-fiat money is. They own bonds of trust in the loan shark market, items that are in themselves worthless and lose value when sold. You too could have owned these bonds if you had spared a couple beers back when Amazon shares were worth $20. The 3% wealthiest have also contributed, on average, $2.7T of the $3.5T yearly revenue this running century. If you don't see it reflected in social programs and infrastructure it's time to start asking the first-gen millionaires in Washington where that money is instead of clapping at them like trained seals when they talk about stealing even more from "the rich". Because in populist politics, "the other" always ends up meaning "you" in the end.

Literally no such thing as “equity of opportunity” lol

@@noahvaldez9730 I hope you're not confusing equity with equality. Equity is a process and equality is an outcome of that process. Personally, I believe the way to achieve equity is by treating everyone equitably, or justly, according to their circumstances. And even though we have such a principle codified, it isn't always practiced in reality. We may never achieve perfection just as no human will ever be perfect, but it is an ideal we nonetheless should strive for.

The word 'democratic' only gives more space for the tarantulas of socialism to weave their sticky webs.

@@hannannah1uk If you interpreted the Tarantula chapter of Thus Spoke Zarathustra to refer to socialism then you have gravely missed the point and I believe your mind is beyond hope

@@hannannah1uk The tarantula part of the video wasn't about socialism. Also, MANY democratic nations of socialist. What about Europe? Finland, Norway, Iceland, Germany, Netherlands... many of these countries have SOCIALIZED medicine and deep-rooted socialist systems like pension. If you knew this you'd know that socialism =/= fascism. Socialism in simple terms is all of a nation's citizens paying into one pool of money-- which is then allocated by elected democratic officials to different programs for SOCIAL benefit. That can be anything, but in principle it is a government that is "for the people, by the people" without being Communist like the USSR or anarcho-Capitalist like the USA. Norway, for example, is still an extremely overpriced and capitalist society despite being a socialist nation. Much freer than America as well, with things like mandatory PAID year-long maternity/paternity leave for both parents when you have a child. Free healthcare, free education, the list goes on... You can argue that this system is too similar to communism, but it really isn't. These countries function better than any place on the planet. Research will prove anything I've said so far.

@@TVYL3IGH That's not socialism -- that's simply a democracy with voters who agree a lot. Socialism is government ownership of the means of production -- this is a well-known standard definition in political science. The "Norway-type" system you describe is the fortunate result of having a small population, in a small area, with a common culture, ethnicity, values, religion/philosophy -- basically, very little to fight over. It's rather similar to the natural tribal structure which we evolved in for a million years, and is what a "nation" originally meant. As Thor said in the movies, Asgard is not a place, it is a people. Here in the US, we have a very UNnatural system due to the US actually being an empire, rather than a nation. We are dozens of "Norways", each different in many ways from the others, but all forced to mingle under a central power. We fight over everything, because we have almost nothing in common, and nearly every policy is a contrivance for one subject nation to steal from or bully another, with the imperial authority (now largely a corporate puppet) taking a cut of any profit that may result. Americans hate socialism because it would increase the power of the central authority, allowing even more theft from and abuse of the subject nations which are not popular with the central decision-makers. The Americans who talk about breaking the US up into smaller, independent units (typically based on culture) are actually attempting to move toward a more Norway-like model, where policies are made BY a people FOR a people, with extensive agreement and mutually-beneficial cooperation among similar minds. This is not widely known, because our socialist elements perpetuate the lie that well-functioning places like Norway are socialist, when they are not.

I think about this all the time! Everytime I talk to someone about this, however, they tune me out or have nothing to contribute, or are not willing to engage in a debate. So I just keep these thoughts to myself. They are not helpful to have in a society/system that is designed to keep you constantly running, constantly entertained, constantly chasing the carrot ahead of you, dangling from a stick. Some have accepted that as the reality in which they are expected to operate, albeit reluctantly, and others actually like it. I fit into neither camp. I think human life can be more. I think human life can be true. I think human life doesn't have t revolve around materialism, or power, or anything of the sort. I think such things as power should be something which is earned by the meritorious, not an object to be won by anybody. I admit I am not fit to lead, and therefore that power does not correspond to me. We need that responsibility of thought in people. For people to know their limits. Society needs balance. Nothing more. What contributes to balance, harmony, and stability at the micro and macro level, that is objective truth.

Equity: equality of outcome is driven by revenge (often cloaked in kindness, especially today). From that aim come ideas about levelling the playing field, positive discrimination and other ideas fundamental to (democratic or not) socialism. Equality of opportunity is not revenge driven. It is linked with the ideas of personal responsibility instead.

@@Barklord People are individuals with personal aims, responsibilities and as you say 'incentives'. Some individual carpenters buy and sell property some don't care one way or the other - until wound up by envious socialists who see them as a group.

@@Barklord Market's don't reward merit or virtue because the former is insignificant in the face of the final results, and the latter doesn't exist. Markets reward value, and value is a subjective variable that is decided on an individual basis. The picture of your mom on your desk is far more valuable to you than me. What you are propagating is the obsolete economic theorem known as The Labor Theory of Value, which was started by Karl Marx; a philosopher who purposefully avoided educating himself on economic processes, because he saw fields that required empirical proof as "bourgeoise propaganda", due to the aforementioned proof inevitably contradicting his wild assertions. Marx believed that merit produced income, and that there was a surplus of value being taken in any transaction. As I said, the man wasn't an economist and his beliefs are still laughed at today whenever a couple of economists are drunk and need to point fingers and tease somebody (I guess Marx receives equal treatment in both life and death lol). By Marx's logic, a man could waste his day away digging a hole in his backyard in searing heat, then make a claim to millions because he "worked hard"; even though him digging that hole produced nothing of value. But that's not how things work, because no one gives a fuck about how hard you work; it's about the value you produced that someone, somewhere out there, is willing to pay for. If I walk up to you and say "I just worked 12 hours" and demand payment you're going to look at me like wtf? But if I walk up to you with a hyper-advanced phone I designed and demand payment, you'll be more likely to converse over the transaction because you see *VALUE* that compels you to go through with it; *REGARDLESS* of how hard I worked to produce that value. Hell, I could have been drunk with one hand masturbating when I made the phone and it literally does not matter; the point is that the value exists and you are willing to trade for it.

@@Barklord Nothing you said empirically disproves my statements lol, you are just reiterating your initial posits from your OP; which I already debunked in mine. Hence, I'll just focus on your analogy. As I said, value is a subjective variable decided on an individual basis. The reason the sex worker gets more money from the rich guy is because the handjob is more valuable to him in relation to the cost, hence he sees it fit to pay more. In the eyes of the rich man, the sex worker creates more value than she does in the eyes of the poor man, hence why the poor man is unwilling to transact. And yes, I did create more value if I sell my stadium/football club for $700M, hence why the transaction happened in the first place; why would someone spend $700M on something they don't see equivalent value in. In the eyes of the buyer, the value created by the stadium is indeed worth $700M, hence why he goes along with the transaction in the first place. If he saw less value than the cost, he would not transact. It really is quite simply mate lol. Also, it depends on what you mean by meritocracy. Capitalism isn't a meritocracy if one defines merit by effort, because no one gives a fuck about that kind of merit; participation trophies are for losers and children. Capitalism *IS,* however, a meritocracy if one defines merit by results. It's just that the majority of average joe's have no "results" to offer except flipping burgers and packing groceries, so instead they seethe at the system in a powerless anger until they die just as insignificantly as they've always lived. And so the tale goes.

@@Barklord People who sell homes have higher incomes for two primary reasons: the first is that the carpenters typically have more consistent incomes, without dips when the market tanks, because people will always need repairs and maintenance; while realtors rely entirely on the market. The second reason is convenience. This comes in many forms, including that many people don't have the time or lack the patience to wait for a new house to be built. So you can charge more for a completed structure than it cost to build the thing. Additionally, once a house has been built on a piece of land, you can't build a new house without tearing that one down. So with zoning and other laws making it difficult to just plop down a house, and needing to be close to transport and utilities, people will prefer to buy an existing home if they can. All of this, and more, explains the difference in income between carpenters and realtors.

every argument against equality/communism is a strawman. right wingers can't argue against the real issue, so they make up nonsense to shoot down.

@@Tokyo_2025 "equality under the law" coupled with "freedom to pursue happiness" gives the individual the best environment for success, but it is up to the individual to create that success. communism is one of the worst government systems and leads to extreme suffering and mass death. the individual can not thrive under communist rule.

Yeah but in practice that's not what it is. It's think like me or be unpersoned. Full stop. No in-between.

@@CodeeXD that isn't it at all. I'm quite left-leaning in my views, but in my opinion we still need some kind of free market, albeit one that allows people to have varying degrees of wealth based on the work they put in, and one that provides safety nets and welfare to those who *need* it. Nobody is talking about making everybody a clone, or someone that should be exactly the same as everyone else. We're talking about equality of opportunity, welfare, and experiences, not about creating a homogenous society. Where would be the importance, or the benefit, in that?

@@chillipowder0169 Perhaps you're familiar with whom actually have the best idea for a free market: Anarcho-syndicalists. Free markets and trade, but no one gets to hold power over people by owning the means of production. Because the idea of someone being able to own a factory, or a store-chain for example is purely insane. How can one single-handedly own something that cannot function without the co-operation of hundreds of people?

I think the use of the term "equality" without some qualifying statement can be interpreted in many ways. Equality can mean one vote for every person to one individual and another will say that one vote is too much for some and not enough for others. Both propose "equality". The problem of Equality is that one has to assume they know what everybody needs to live the same quality of life. No person possibly could accomplish that.

The "brand of equality" you're talking about is equity. Equality of opportunity (equity) is good for everyone. Equality of outcome (totalitarianism) is what the video is about.

And yet when we achieved equal laws the "disadvantaged" demanded reparations. They got reparations, affirmative action, exclusive societal support and now they demand the "privileged" be punished for the "sins" of their ancestors. Resentment is unquenchable.

Stroggoii equal laws is not even a complete reality yet and having equal laws doesn’t mean everyone suddenly sees disadvantaged people as equal, there’s still so much social stigma to unlearn. It’s not like all issues just resolved the moment disadvantaged people finally got some legal rights. That’s why reparations and societal support exists, without it those laws mean nothing. Recognising your privilege just means realising you don’t have to deal with all of these set backs and stigma.

@@El-iw6xn There is no such thing as privilege, there is only systemic corruption and no, it doesn't support disadvantaged people just because they happen to have white skin and a penis like the majority of the corrupt. If you don't see the astounding improvements to people's lives that have been achieved in the past fifty years it's because unhinged "progressives" don't want to have more opportunities, they want "the other" to have less. And that's just not going to happen.

Stroggoii as i said the improvements have not met total equality, there is still a LOT to be done. Absolutely no one wants white/straight/male/able bodied people to have less opportunity, can you really not handle the spotlight being off you for even a moment without assuming equal representation/rights/resources for other people means less for you? Have you got any evidence at all that this actually a thing people want apart from misunderstanding what privilege means?

Stroggoii and what reason would disadvantaged people have for giving you less and themselves more? Actually what would be the reason? Do you think they want their “revenge” and have themselves at the top after being at the bottom for so long? That’s insane no one is out to get you. What would actually be disadvantaged peoples reasoning or drive to give you “less”?
