We fight for equality.
Equal pay.
Equal rights under the law.
But equality is so much more.
It is the right to fee safe in your country,
The right to know the police protects you,
The right to know your coworkers respect you,
Equality is being a human, and everyone has that beautiful right.
Equality is what every single person in this world deserves, no matter what.
Glorified communism.
Just think about it for a minute, equality on paper sounds like the (almost) perfect solution to most of society’s problems.
But in practice… it made more problems.
Same thing happened with communism, they tried it twice and failed. “Third time the charm”? Yeah.. apparently so, they just needed to rebrand it so people wouldn’t be so suspicious of it.
A lot of people think fairness and equality are practically the same thing. Trust me, THEY ARE NOT. They sound the same yes, but when you look at the fine print, there are pretty big differences between the two.
Equality: Let’s say you’re in elementary school and it’s about to be recess. The trouble maker (TM), of the class does something that they weren’t supposed to do and now everyone is in trouble, even though the teacher witnessed the kid causing trouble. The teacher doesn’t care and now every body has to stay inside while the other classes go outside to play.
One person got in trouble? Now EVERYONE is in trouble.
Fairness: We’ll use the same example as before, except this time the TM got what he deserves, the teacher only punishers him and everyone else gets to go outside with all their other friends, from the other classes.
1 person person gets in trouble, only THEY get punished.
Here’s another example: imagine you have two crates of apples in front of you with each crate being able to hold 20 apples, and there’s 20 left to the side. Crate #1 currently has 15 apples while crate #2 has 15.
Equality would be to put 10 apples in each crate. But that doesn’t work since one crate is now over capacity and has too many, while the other doesn’t have enough.
Fairness on the other hand would give 5 to crate #1 and 15 to crate #2, now both crates are evenly filled.
Equality focuses on the “giving” aspect making sure everyone is being treated the same, but this lacks context and reasoning. While fairness is more on the “value” side, seeing every person needing their own needs.
One is constantly overlooked, and one is always misused, you try figuring out which is which.
When people want equality in situations where they've historically been disadvantaged, but want tradition in situations where they've historically been advantaged.
Wanting equal pay but expecting the guy to always pay is selective equality.
A missaying of the word "equality" commonly used by Twilly to describe what women are in desperate need of.
E • QUAL • ER
The comparison of multiple equal objects, where one or more objects are inherently more equal than the others.
Teacher: “I don’t have favorites, I love all my students equally, just some equaler than others.”
A better name for a zebra. I will send my request to the government soon and hope they understand. If somehow you don't know what a Zebra is, it's an African wild horse with black-and-white stripes and an erect mane.
I think that racial equality donkey's are really cool. They're my favorite animal
You didn't want to be equal! You wanted to be authoritative wisdom guy that eveyone has to respect and listen to!
Hym "A conversation between equals... That's not an allusion to me, is it? Because, like, I don't consider you equal, therefore, you're justified in excluding me? Because you didn't think we were equal, initially. You though I was incompetent incel schizoid and that you were extra-special competent prophet. AND NOW THAT IT CLEAR THAT EQUALITY ISN'T EVEN POSSIBLE BETWEEN ME AND ANYONE ELSE... NOW... You care about EQUALITY. You were just saying incels were weasels and reprehensible. And then Piers Morgan called them deplorable and you did a complete 180⁰. And said we shouldn't be piling on. And NOW... That I DON'T THINK YOU... Are equal... Well now MY POSITION ON EQUALITY is (somehow) the problem. NOT BACK WHEN YOU WERE ARGUABLY THE BETTER ONE... Now that it's ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY clear who the better one is.... NOW I NEED TO START CONSIDERING PEOPLE MY EQUALS... But only NOW... After I created A.I. after years of being mocked, harassed, and shamed.... Now we're equal... That's what you want from me now?"
