Human society has always consisted of a class-based hierarchy. This is a fact.
Even in a reality in which 'right' and 'wrong' are false concepts, inferiority and superiority aren't.

So when I hear the world "equality", I get the feeling that those of the 'lower castes', so to speak, are attempting to usurp the oligarchs of their (rightful) place either by replacement or misplacement, in this case, making everyone inferior. For superiority occupies one throne and shares it with no one.
Inferiority, however, will gladly coexist with itself.

At the risk of being labeled an elitist despite living in meager conditions, I must state this: disadvantaged minorities (or sometimes, majorities) are always the only ones to ask for equality. Women, African descendants, -blam!-Iy disoriented individuals, and the economically unwell are and have been in a constant struggle to change the system in which they reside instead of becoming the major gear, and while it is admirable, it is also detrimental. What it has caused is an abherrant mixture of the defining characteristics of each of the classes, yet still mantaining a hierarchical structurre.

Discuss. I shall go to sleep now.

The problem with "equality' is that people seek it make making others inferior, rather than making themselves greater.


A sort of competition is what creates the best sense of equality, rather than taking from those that work to give to those that don't.

''Misanthropes have some admirable if paradoxical virtues. It is no exaggeration to say that we are among the nicest people you are likely to meet. Because good manners build sturdy walls, our distaste for intimacy makes us exceedingly cordial "ships that pass in the night." As long as you remain a stranger we will be your friend forever.''

''I want people to be sincere; a man of honor shouldn't speak a single word that doesn't come straight from his heart. ''

I hate you all equally.

Very good read, and because I am studying this atm, I will be able to give a decent response.

You are quite right about a hierarchy system, I would like to say that is still very apparent in the UK.

However are right and wrong false concepts, are our brains simply justifying or criticizing decisions we take? When I hear equality, I have a very similar line of thought.

It would appear that the lower (inferior, etc.) are the ones who do not necessarily ask for equality, but give an reason or an example which is apparent to your middle class, they then will carry forth this motion as a unhappy middle class means a unhappy upper class with no money.

There is my opinion, depending on this thread, i might write more...

That's... exactly my point.

Your average nice guy on The Flood.... D: ..... WAIT A MINUTE....

OP, this is a cycle that humanity will always struggle with: the oppressed rising up against the elite. It will always happen so long as the elite try to screw others over in the name of greed and power, and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.

when you are being exploited by those 'superior' to you, it is them who need to change, not you. they are the ones doing something wrong, not you. if you somehow get on their level, you're then just doing what they do; whereas if you bring them down to your level, there is no more exploitation going on.

I work my ass off, and "less fortunate" people try to mooch off of me. I don't exploit the dumb and useless.

because the point itself is more important than the manner in which it is made.

Normally, when I see degrading remarks within a reply I hold that individual to a higher standard. It's just something I do because if you're going to call another member an idiot, you better have your -blam!- together.
