Killing Civilization: The Great Equality Farce
2020-01-10
[American Thinker] - For the West to live, equality must die. By the latter, I mean equality dogma, and a recent video I stumbled across again brought this issue to mind. It was part of an intersex wage-gap discussion that took place in Australia last year among renowned Canadian psychology professor Jordan Peterson, Labor Party politician Terri Butler, and other individuals on a program called Q&A. While as usual Peterson made good points and deserves credit for suffering fools gladly, a more fundamental problem should be addressed: Why assume that "equality" is any kind of good at all?

#5  Try living for a while in one of the many societies that do not enshrine equality under law,

Ironically, that's where we're headed thanks to equalism.

After all, sharia law is as valid as Western jurisprudence, right?

Who are we to refuse the mass enrichment that will lead to its enshrinement?

We're on the verge of civilizing ourselves to death.

#4  Equality under (God's) law has always been the bedrock of Judaeo-Christian civilization.

Try living for a while in one of the many societies that do not enshrine equality under law, and you'll start to appreciate our culture's commitment to due process, equal treatment and equal opportunity.

Which of course are not synonymous with equal outcomes.

After the sperm and egg, it all goes to shit.

#1  Why assume that "equality" is any kind of good at all?

Mother nature doesn't. Then again, the same people who scream the science is settled and save Mother Gaia, don't care about truly natural aspects of evolution. Hint - its all about power.
