In b4 I’m called a tankie
Why would you be called a tankie? I don’t see any leftist authoritarianism here.
Naw, I don’t see this as being tanky. The middle one I don’t really get tho.
the middle one explains that equity unlike equality does not give everyoune the same resources, but distributes resources so every one has the same experience/chance.
But isn’t equity often used for “we keep the oppressive system but we allow few women and black people on the compressor side”?
Lmao yes actually. Never trust a black cop. Diversity hires, if in a powerful position at all, are… Theoretically just minorities who buy into the system, serve shareholders just the same.
Equity on the left is usually about progressivism and social mobility for children and students in public schools. Or that 10% low income houskng in apartment buildings so poor people can live near the well-off. We struggle to control for people’s outcomes. One example of trying to fix outcomes was college admission Affirmative Action. That was, I believe, an imperfect bandaid solution. And it became unpopular enough to be removed. Even unions are open up to failure to create equity. Unions can go wrong and support racial or gendered policies, or tiered employee benefits. So I believe the sentiment you bring up is something to keep in mind always.
It means that people are given different amounts of resources to receive the same quality of life. Because not everyone’s circumstances are the same, everyone needs different amounts of resources to maintain an equal quality of life.
For example, a person born with certain medical needs will need more at the base level than someone born those needs.
