Subject: Equality is mutual inferiority.

Pure Insanity
The point of war is not to die for one's clan, but it's to make the other bastard die for his
Right before you die, there is always a chance to save yourself, sieze that chance and live to fight another day
The best way to kill someone is to fight them with the same weapons they use and make them know you are better than them, not because of superior weaponry, but because of superior skill.
Hidden in the shadows, Clothed in camo, Armed to the teeth. Hunting.

Equality is a myth.

Fortunate, or unfortunate?

I intend to be a hard-working person.
And all of this just popped intio my head while I was showering and then I wanted to share it.
But if we are all "mutually inferior" what good does working harder do? Try not to go to deep into this intellectual/nihilist head ball. They never end well.

Here's something that was brought to my attention once: in the classroom no one gets left behind, and if this is so, can anyone get ahead? Do the gifted suffer because their peers can't keep up? I don't believe in equality, because it's a lie; it doesn't exist in the physical world, only in the abstract. Equal opportunity should, and can exist, but not equality of person, because it can't.

On a bit of a tangent, I don't believe in a multicultural society either, for such a society has no solid truths, or foundations; it's unstable and clumsy. Each faction is tolerant of others, but neither will heed to an alien rule; progress is slowed, if not halted completely.


Beautiful. Truly. I agree entirely.

And to those discussing poverty, the Military has its arms widely open and will welcome you lovingly.
African nations have national armies as well, do they not?
National armies!?

What a -blam!- joke!

More like national armed mobs in most areas. In places like India, they wouldn't degrade the social status of the army by allowing mere peasants to join. In the middle east, they're more likely to be shot by their national army by daring to go against the social code.

If you're telling me to join the army, I've tried. I'm blind, however. I can't read a book at arm's length, therefore I'm unfit to be a soldier. Even though I really -blam!- want to.

What people want is equality of opportunity.


If you are born physically and mentally stable, you don't need equality of opportunity.

Unless you're in Africa.

That sounds like a pretty stupid thing to say. You're going to have to explain further.

No, you don't want to. Otherwise you'd have gotten eye surgery.
Not to mention, you don't have to be an infantryman.

If you want to work, you'll look for a job. Anything that can make ends meet. Yes, even in the criminal world. It doesn't matter. You'd be stronger than most.

That might work on a micro level, but how does it fit in on a societal level.

Simply working harder to find a job doesn't increase the number of job openings. Basic economic analysis proves that. If you're one of those people so disassociated with reality that you think our unemployment problem is one of misguided incentives for job seekers, I don't know how much we can discuss.

Why do you care about society's issues? You want to feed yourself, not everyone else. Like I said, there's no shortage of openings in the military.

I understand your point OP but as humans and in society, we are all (or should be treated as) equals. Every race / sex / age group / whatever has something to offer and shouldn't be treated as inferior or superior.

Don't pretend like you know my situation, you little -blam!-.

Eye surgery is impossible for me. My eyes are so misshapen that simply cutting the lenses won't do a thing, and would just end up doing further damage to my eyes. Even if that was an option, where the hell am I supposed to get the money for a $5000 - $10000 eye operation anyway?
Even then, what's the point of joining the army to become a desk jockey, some secretary organising files for a general without actually doing anything worthwhile on my own? That isn't fighting for my country, that isn't doing the national service or doing my country proud. I wouldn't join the army unless it's doing something worthwhile, something that past generations of diggers would be proud of. If I want a desk job I'll be an intern at the local newspaper or publishing company.

They aren't hiring by the way.

Because we live in a society in which everyone is reliant on one another.

How would we fund the military if we just pushed too many people into service? Why should we accept these people as lost causes rather than put in steps to create more equality of opportunity so that the poor didn't see the military their only shot at advancing? Why not invest in education and poverty reducing programs which allow these people to grow as individuals and contribute to our society and our economy?

In what world is 10 million under privileged people in the military better than making college more accessible to them?

You just proved my entire point. Just by the act of replying.

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.


Inferiority and superiority are just as subjective as right and wrong, and they have changed just as often.

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.

But then how did the so called "higher" castes get to where they are? And I thought "right" and "wrong" were false concepts? Why did you use the word "rightful", then? And why would one party usurping another make everyone inferior, and not just the usurped party?


Inferiority, however, will gladly coexist with itself.

Why would it be any different than superiority?

At the risk of being labeled an elitist despite living in meager conditions,

You can be an elitist no matter what your conditions are.

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,

Of course they do, why would people who are supported by a system want to change that system?

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.

Can we get some examples, please? And explain exactly how the mixture is detrimental.

Discuss. I shall go to sleep now.

Yeah, you clearly aren't thinking so straight right now.
