Glorified communism.
Just think about it for a minute, equality on paper sounds like the (almost) perfect solution to most of society’s problems.
But in practice… it made more problems.
Same thing happened with communism, they tried it twice and failed. “Third time the charm”? Yeah.. apparently so, they just needed to rebrand it so people wouldn’t be so suspicious of it.
A lot of people think fairness and equality are practically the same thing. Trust me, THEY ARE NOT. They sound the same yes, but when you look at the fine print, there are pretty big differences between the two.

Equality: Let’s say you’re in elementary school and it’s about to be recess. The trouble maker (TM), of the class does something that they weren’t supposed to do and now everyone is in trouble, even though the teacher witnessed the kid causing trouble. The teacher doesn’t care and now every body has to stay inside while the other classes go outside to play.
One person got in trouble? Now EVERYONE is in trouble.
Fairness: We’ll use the same example as before, except this time the TM got what he deserves, the teacher only punishers him and everyone else gets to go outside with all their other friends, from the other classes.
1 person person gets in trouble, only THEY get punished.
Here’s another example: imagine you have two crates of apples in front of you with each crate being able to hold 20 apples, and there’s 20 left to the side. Crate #1 currently has 15 apples while crate #2 has 15.
Equality would be to put 10 apples in each crate. But that doesn’t work since one crate is now over capacity and has too many, while the other doesn’t have enough.
Fairness on the other hand would give 5 to crate #1 and 15 to crate #2, now both crates are evenly filled.
Equality focuses on the “giving” aspect making sure everyone is being treated the same, but this lacks context and reasoning. While fairness is more on the “value” side, seeing every person needing their own needs.
One is constantly overlooked, and one is always misused, you try figuring out which is which.

Get the Equalizermug. Machine Learning Definition
Equality is the assumption that social norms have a high bias resulting overfitting in the social sciences model, thus the solution is to introduce L1 regularization to create a sparse model that sets the coefficients for protected characteristics to zero. The complaint about equality is that it produces a model that technically underfits the sample data.

Get the Equalitymug. No fuck you Mike. How many of your realities did I fix just there? Why didn't you do the thing I said before I said it, Andy? Did you not know you could do that? Why were you a brokie? Is having the right knowledge more important than doing "the work," Joe? That's what it looks like. It looks like even if you work extra hard and are a super good kickboxer it doesn't really pay off. It looks like it's more important to have the right information than it is to do any kind of work. How much money did you guys make on that first Izzy bet? I didn't even check to see the odds. I didn't even place a bet. I knew the outcome so it wouldn't have even been fair for me to play.

Get the equal bohemian tongue tag rat piss troglodyte diverse preference carmel vanilla omnimug. When a silly female can wake up with her silly friends in a room after a night of partying (like the silly movie Hangover) and try to figure out how one of them got a black eye and laugh about it (and there are plenty of females every bit as silly as the guys in Hangover, being female doesn't exclude them from being what they are) instead of somebody dying or going to jail because she didn't get the respect she felt that she was owed by the world, then there would be something closer to equality here, since that would mean there are more females with a live and let live attitude toward the opposite sex and each other. You'd have more females committing suicide to catch up with the rates of male suicides, and females would end up in jail or prison as long as males for the same crimes, and the police and authority figures would no longer take it easier on them even for traffic tickets.
People that whine the most about equality don't usually appreciate how fortunate they really are and have always been.
