At a White House briefing last week, Susan Rice said, "The president has committed the whole of our government to advancing racial justice and equity[.] ... We will hold the federal government accountable for advancing equity ... Every agency will place equity at the core [of its programs[.]"
According to the dictionary, equity is "freedom from bias or favoritism." However, the "social justice" definition of equity is the opposite. It holds that to be equal, people must be treated differently. "Whereas equality means providing the same to all, equity means recognizing that we do not all start from the same place and must acknowledge and make adjustments to imbalances."
This idea of equity comes from identifiably communist thought. It is the second part of Marx's slogan: "From each according to his ability; to each according to his needs." Lenin, discussing Marx, said, "Every right is an application of the same measures to different people who, in fact, are not the same and are not equal to one another; this is why "equal right" is really a violation of equality and an injustice[.] ... [D]ifferent people are not alike; one is strong, another is weak, one is married, the other is not, one has more children[.] ... [quoting Marx] 'In order to avoid all these defects, rights, instead of being equal, must be unequal'" (State and Revolution, Chapter 5, Part 3).

All of our problems originate in corrupted, local electoral precincts in deep Blue urban centers. These NEED to be cleaned.
Part of “re-districting” projects, BTW, is to create regions and social environments permitting unfettered and unhindered electoral Fraud.
Think parts of cities where Republicans are feared to tread. No bipartisan voting observers. If any Republican observers, or even voters show up,they are threatened. This is the beginning process of turning a Red state purple.
This article provides a glimpse into exactly this process going on in Philadelphia in 2009

There are more of “us” than “them” A whole lot more
Its all kayfabe. Its what they want you to believe, its what they want you to “feel”

The left is LARGELY an illusion supported by media propaganda and created by fraudulent electoral processes
“honest” votes for Biden were 30-35 million. At most.
What the left has done, ever since the 1984 Reagan-Mondale blowout-(and Mondale was a “moderate” Democrat!)-is to start electoral fraud programs in the largest states to turn them from Red-to-Purple-to Blue. They realized they had no future otherwise. It started in California and New York
This last election cycle local Texans managed to turn it around at the precinct level-their RINO Governor not withstanding
Extreme involvement in your local precincts and making sure paper balloting on ELECTION DAY, with hand counts and recounts in a transparent fashion and setting with open audit trails available to the general public, among other measures-are key.
Its dirty, tough work and initially confrontational
with the existing perps. As the above article illustrates, it will be dangerous. But it beats the heck outta the
alternatives -which are bearing down like a runaway freight train
The left has focused on corrupting our local electoral process. They focus on the deep urban centers. This process of corruption is very active presently in Georgia, using Atlanta as its base, the last 2 election cycles. This process is seditious.
We the People have no future otherwise. These people INTEND to “rule”
The Red parts of the country just need to avoid the “violence trap” presently being laid by the Left-who would rather see a Civil War or “crackdown on the Right” than have to deal with us properly reforming elections locally
I once ran an economic experiment with 12th graders, only I mixed actual dollars with free points towards actual grades. I don’t recall the mechanism, but the result was spectacular: the kids who needed the points the most were most concerned about the money, while the kids with higher grades traded money for points they didn’t need.
I’m sure economists have a term for it, but I just sat back in wonder at the human condition.
Back in High School the science teacher on the final had a poorly worded question. Everyone argued with him. He finally relented.
“Okay - you are right, that was a poor question. I can see how you answered it correctly. But - I’m not changing your grades. If anything, you’ve learned that life isn’t fair. If so, that is the most you will have learned from this class.” (And 42 years later, it is!)
I’m pretty sure that was the entire point of the question. Something that I didn’t learn until 11th grade.
With my kids, they learned that VERY young.
equality=equal opportunity
equity=equal outcomes, ie socialism
I have no sympathy for the Republicans save for a very few. Trump campaigned tirelessly for them, but when it came to the rampant fraud, they by-en-large joined the Democrats and enshrined it and betrayed the best man they have had in 40 years IMHO.
The Republicans are facing a political tribulum. We now expect leaders like Trump who are Americans First and Actually do things instead of just spout platitudes. The Dems also face a worse political tribulum - their leaders will lead them right off into oblivion. But if the fraud isn't taken care of, then America's days are numbered.
God give us Repentance, turning away from Sin and going back to Him! Or Fraud will be the least of our problems. God help us!
Equality means we are all equal in the eyes of the law.
Equity means ownership. Think assets.
I think they are heading to equality of ownership of assets. From those according to their ability (owner’s equity), to those according to their need.
