This is a post I started about 3 months ago, it has been growing and I realized I just needed to split it up. It will be a series on my views regarding the cultural Marxism we are adopting in America.
I have never had patience for whiners that go on and on about what is or is not fair. They are so-called "warriors" seeking justice - yet the only thing they deny is justice. Life, when simplified, is nothing more than a binary set of algorithms driven by cause & effect. Skip a meal, stomach complains and you don't feel as energized.
Yes, people are born into unequal environments - for instance, a poor black kid in America is born into a society that will provide him with free food, housing, medical costs and a phone whereas a poor black kid born in Africa may die before walking due to exposure or malnourishment.
I don't have the answers to ensure everyone truly starts on an equal plane - I don't think it is possible in this life. This does require a concept of humility and gratitude for what we all have as there is always someone with less (such as the dead kid in Africa that never even spoke or walked). I know - how insensitive of me, but the hard reality of truth is that anyone that is living well enough to complain, has more than the child that dies in a war-torn, famine struck, impoverished country while yet an infant. Or the aborted one that never even breathed on its own.
It is important to highlight this as it shows how imbalanced our view in America is on the concept of "fairness". Few Americans (at least the ones born here) can appreciate what it truly means to exist in fear and poverty or suffering. We are so far from understanding suffering, that we manufacture issues while ignoring the blatant violation of rights by still having slaves in America. Real pain and suffering happens in the US - real hatred and bigotry exist, but we spend our time on hype rather than subsistence.
What is America's view on Equality?
This is the heart of the confusion - no one can agree on what is right or what is wrong - or even if there is a right and wrong. Why? Simple, for Social Justice Warriors (SJWs), equality is about the abolishment of religion and morality by refusing anyone the ability to declare something as Right or Wrong. This also makes it impossible to achieve success as there will always be some bizarre cause to rally behind as there will be no boundaries.
Out of curiosity, I searched "equality in America" in Bing and this is what I got:
There isn't really a trend in this group - they each highlight equality for a specific group of people, but ignore the others. Again, no foundation, no common set of what is right or wrong - only silo'd demands irrelevant of all others.
They do have one trend, however, they all fear and hate the "religious right".
Here is an interesting view that results from this ambiguous approach to life where a feminist group is trying to determine if pornography is helpful or harmful to the movement of equality for women:
"There was a generation gap in the debate, with some older second wavers asking why it is that men get off on abusing women, and some third and fourth wavers saying that, actually, they quite enjoy a bit of consensual degradation, thank you very much. I’d argue that when you start questioning and shaming another person’s adult, consensual sexual preferences, you’ve lost the fight. To borrow a useful phrase from Amy Poehler: “good for you, not for me”. You enjoy being pumped in multiple orifices while being bent over flatpack furniture and filmed? Good for you, not for me. But good for women? That’s another question, one that requires a much more nuanced approach. Only once we accept that can we work out what we are going to do about it."
How terrifying that insidious and deviant behavior is actually considered as acceptable because of someone's disturbed fetish? Doing so ignores the profound impact on self esteem, image and long term happiness. Furthermore, this view of equality and acceptance is not about what you are able to contribute in life, instead it is how you can expend your time in the pursuit of pleasure.
But again - that is only terrifying if you believe in right and wrong. As she states - you lose the argument once you question someone's "adult" decisions. With that in mind, why is it bad to be conservative? Or religious? Clearly - for reasons are self evident, right?
This is a key tenant of the so-called progressives, however. Anything that presents the idea of absolute truth is a threat to the state and therefore must either be highly censored or abolished. These people pushing for equality are not marching towards a common goal, they are marching away from one - the fact that there is Right and Wrong. It doesn't matter which way they pull away, they achieve their desire so long as the central theme of Truth is abandoned.
