The concept of equal opportunities is fair, with some limits of course (within our own countries). It allows all to get a shot at whatever they want to do or be. It is based on merit, and it promotes competition as well as excellence, and ultimately, natural selection, essential for the survival, let alone thriving, of our species.
The left, however, including many women and non-whites, are seeking instead equal outcomes. Namely, for women and non-whites to attain anything they wish for, not based on merit or competition, but based on gender or skin color. This approach was originally introduced by feminists, as it was the only way for women, who never were equal to men despite their delusional claims, to compete in many fields naturally dominated by men. In order to achieve equality of outcome, many institutions first lowered standards, so the most inept could qualify. When this failed, official affirmative action policies were implemented, to force quotas and equality of outcomes solely based on gender or skin color. Both with disastrous consequences, including a major decrease in intellectual quality in universities, and a slow collapse of the Armed Forces.
The abhorrent concept of equality of outcome goes against nature and natural selection. Had it applied to our species for the last few hundred thousand years, we would have been long extinct. It is also outrageously discriminatory, and promotes mediocrity, incompetence, ineptitude and degeneracy.
Western civilization and its achievements were never based on equality of outcome. Building a Boeing 747 never was within the capabilities of just any moron based on their gender or skin color. As a matter of fact, Boeing’s attempts at being “progressive” resulted in the worst fiasco in aviation history: The Boeing 737-Max. Furthermore, those of us who have thrived, anywhere in the world, never sought equality of outcome. For example, people of Nordic descent account for about 10% of the population in places like British Columbia in Canada. Yet, you have never heard any of them seeking to be represented in 10% of everything, just because of their blood line. Instead, they work hard to get where they are. Solely based on merit.
At the end of the day, it is all about equal opportunities, but never equal outcomes.
A concept we have always applied within this organization. We won’t look at your skin color to give you the opportunity to become one of us. And we will never give you the opportunity to be one of us because of your skin color*.
*(The concept of equality of opportunity applies in this organization to women as well. Based on millions of years of evolution, however, women are biologically different from men, and as such, simply and innately unsuitable for combat. As a result, women simply cannot compete with a man in that field, and thus, are excluded by default over their inherent ineptitude in combat, the same way we would not bother considering those who are blind for a position requiring full use of their eyesight.)
