"I'm going to adjudicate on the back end and I need POWER to do so." That is the most telling statement.

[queazy]

Tell one side that all their troubles in life are caused by others, and they should attack the others (directly or indirectly). It's a divide & conquer tactic

[roomgrowrose]

Thomas Sowell said something like, if you can’t have equal outcomes with the members of a simple family unit, how could you manage them with a vast society?! In a family they have all the same circumstances yet one is successful, another isn’t, another chooses a different thing 🤷🏽‍♀️. You cannot legislate men’s hearts!!

[michaeldemarco]

And it always, always ends the same way. Poverty for those being made "equal".

[robinwells]

Absolutely. I don’t have a problem with equality of opportunity because it rounds up. Equality of outcome always rounds down society.

Victor Davis Hanson is a national treasure! God bless him.

[willashland]

Absolutely brilliant. VDH is on par with the greatest of conservative thought leaders today.

I learned in school in the late 1960's, everybody is different, some are smart and can become doctors or nurses or lawyers, others work well with their hands and can become mechanics or chefs. Find what you are good at and do it. In the 1970's, we learned that everyone is equal, and everybody is the same.

“A society that puts equality—in the sense of equality of outcome—ahead of freedom will end up with neither equality nor freedom. The use of force to achieve equality will destroy freedom, and the force, introduced for good purposes, will end up in the hands of people who use it to promote their own interests.” ~Thomas Sowell

[johnnyaces]

It's all about power over people and control of people.

[sandorfintor]

what happens to me if I agree 100%?!? Will I get dragged away to a re-education camp?!? hopefully not. Let's spread true knowledge and understanding.

[tomcat]

Now that is what college proffessirs are supposed to be

[BigT]

Thank you! Life is NOT fair! Nor was it ever intended to be fair! Wokeness is the argument of a two-year-old. "But that's not fair!"

[ladyguenevere]

VDH! Brilliant and humble man. Always insightful. Always right on. Truth!

[patrickmccarthy]

Free people are not equal. Equal people are not free.

[ronfowler]

Add Thomas Sowell in the discussion with these two and it would be incredible.

[Chris-umse]

This is profound
And beyond BRILLIANT ---Bravo !!

[pennythpmas]

In the 80s we believed in the individual.
We wanted to be unique.
Not Group think, Group Identity. 😢

[hiptobejarrod]

Equality is having fertile soil to grow crops in. Equity is forcing the crops to grow a certain way. One leads to natural progression while the other leads to controlled progression.

[eszhjko]

Dictators today and throughout history haven't changed.
Money, Power, Control
