Supremacy and Egalitarianism Are NOT Compatible

For decades, leftists like me have been trying to preach and advocate EQUALITY and the idea that no matter what our gender, sex, race, ethnicity, sexuality, religion, nationality and so on, we are ALL equal, but some people don't agree/want more, and there are other individuals who believe that progressivism is compatible with the idea of having it all (i.e. brains, beauty, courage, athleticism, morality and so on). No, NO, *NOOOO*.

If one individual has ALL the talents and gifts, it makes everyone worthless by comparison, which in turn leads to DEHUMANISATION, which is EVIL.

NO, only by forwarding the notion that EVERY human-being is worthy and has something to contribute, which depends VERY HEAVILY on knocking down the idea of 'elites' and 'multi-talented' individuals, can we ever aspire to a truly equal, humane, kind, compassionate and moral society.

Those human-beings who wish to be ABOVE everyone else, and flash their 'superiority' are ANATHEMA to a progressive universalist society, and are thus fascists, and must be treated with distrust and contempt, for they put their OWN hubris, arrogance, and self-aggrandisement above the collective self-esteem and thus cohesion of society.

Ultimately, SELFISHNESS and LOW-SELF-ESTEEM are the two roots of all evil. Racism, misogyny, bigotry, discrimination, hate, cruelty, and suffering ALL stem from these two states. The selfishness, is what leads to one person having everything, and other having nothing, which in turn leads to the resentment and low self-esteem which in turn fosters conflict and all those other terrible things I outlined.

If you encounter ANY tall poppy, it is your DUTY to cut them down to size, for the GOOD of ALL society, and the END of DISCRIMINATION, CONFLICT, RESENTMENT and HARDSHIP. You do want to end those things, don't you? 🤔

It depends what kind of equality you are looking for. The concept of equality can be subjective, and what one perceives as equality may differ from another's perspective. In my advocacy for equality, I'm striving for equal treatment under the law and a reasonable degree of economic equality. Beyond that, there is no equality, nor will there ever be, nor do I want there to be. This means that we have to acknowledge that some individuals possess innate qualities, such as intelligence, physical ability, and aesthetic appeal, which others do not.

These attributes will lead to disparities in success, productivity, and accomplishments, which in turn, will also result in differences between races and genders. For instance, there will be fields where men dominate, others where women dominate, blacks dominate, whites dominate, and Jews dominate (I don't consider Jews another race. They are white to me, but some people consider them a separate group so I added them here.)

Attempting to force equality in every aspect of life is unrealistic and undesirable.
I find it unnecessary to strive for total equality, like pressuring women into male-dominated fields like science or forcing men into education fields. Similarly, pressuring white people into sports merely to balance the race ratios is counterproductive. I firmly believe that the differences that make us unique as individuals should be embraced, and a world where everyone is so equal that they are identical seems dull to me.

True equality is only enforceable at gunpoint.
