Kids are smarter than Democrats.
Its because in one, the system will be the primary reason you are screwed over. In the other one, the fault for your lack of progress rests primarily on the individual.
People inherently don’t want to live in a system that is set up to screw them over. Kinda why many socialist countries have fences to keep the people IN.
We suggest that these two phenomena can be reconciled by noticing that,...

... your Marxist academics are Marxist and the “general population” you claim is all about the equal are products of your Marxist academics’ indoctrination and the idiots in the streets that listen to them.

Redistribute everything equally and within a short time you will have rich and poor again.
The only way “equality” works is via fascism and the elimination of property rights.
Even then, some will barter their way to a better life while others will squander what they have, waiting to be saved.
The reason for this seeming paradox is because your average human is stupid and thus, self defeating.
The headline is actually a false premise.
One of the problems we have is so many perceive inequality as “unfair.” It is not, all it means is something is not the same as another, they are not equal, a mature adult learns the things being unequal has no specific bearing on the fairness of the quality, it may have some but one doe pot always require the other.
In the above headline the idea of “Unfair in-equality” is presenting this premise.
Bottom line, there is nothing inherently unfair about a person earning what the are capable of as we are not all the same our abilities will not be so either and what we can achieve will always be different.
Unfortunately this concept is far to advanced for many of today’s society to grasp and accept. This was better understood by more when most actually had to work hard to even survive As we have moved to an easier existence many have not learned how hard life really can be and thus turn to shallow easy assumptions to arrange their world view.
