Just to clarify….. I am very capitalist. But radical inequality in talents and abilities is exactly what creates this huge mountain of disparity that the progressives and young people in general cry about and want to change. To change that they rightfully recognize it requires eliminating capitalism. Capitalism in this country of freedom gives opportunity to everyone. Inequality takes it away. Me….. i’m fine with that. It is what it is. We cant fix it or solve it with money.
Jordan Peterson has had some great lectures where he talks about inequality.
It is the state of nature. Nobody is ever equal. Animal hierarchies work the same way, and just as savagely, or even more so.
He says that capitalism does indeed have inequalities, but so the the utopias they propose, and those are even worse, with greater inequalities covering vaster numbers of people.
His point is, hierarchies are not a construct of man, they are inherent to nature, and we are part of that.
