“IT’S IMPORTANT, AND ONLY FAIR, THAT MORE GAZELLES, ZEBRAS, AND GNUS GET TO EAT LIONS INSTEAD OF JUST THE OTHER WAY AROUND!”...PROF. LIBTARD, EMERITUS!

The Trees - RUSH

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZiDME3bajU&t=70s

There is unrest in the forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas

The trouble with the maples
And they’re quite convinced they’re right
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light

But the oaks can’t help their feelings
If they like the way they’re made
And they wonder why the maples
Can’t be happy in their shade

There is trouble in the forest
And the creatures all have fled
As the maples scream “Oppression”
And the oaks just shake their heads

So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights
“The oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light”
Now there’s no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw

Inequality is what drives motivation.
If everybody has exactly the same, and it was enforced that you have exactly the same, regardless how much, how little or how smart you work, or not at all, then everybody would just sit down on their rumps and do nothing.
The ideal of equality in communism is a big scam, see how well the ruling class, the oligarchy and favored individuals live compared to regular folks.
It looks just as feudal as the system it replaced in Russia and China.
Equality in nature is not possible, nor is it desirable.
But if you wish to be equal to, say, a naked mole rat, go right ahead.

I believe that LIBTARD thought processes dictate that a large government grant is required to genetically engineer aggressive predatory cannibal squirrels to solve the problem.

“Squirrel privilege is real.”

There’s definitely some nuts involved in this.

I would normally regard this as self-discrediting academic agitprop. Unfortunately, the woke mindset now so thoroughly infects academia that applications for admission, grant applications, personnel and tenure reviews all now require paragraphs essentially swearing fealty to woke DEI ideals and expositions on how the applicant has striven to advance the cause both academically and socially.

Cleansing these Stygian academic stables of their wokeness will require Herculean efforts. Given the woke’s propensity to retroactively denigrate and discard everything that offends it, there may not be much left afterwards.

Inequity among animals is not a moral issue; it is survival of the fittest.

If you try to make it a moral issue, or apply it to humans as a moral issue, you might raise up a league of eugenicists and social Darwiniss who make it their moral mission to not temper the effects of illness, poverty, foolishness and bad luck, but to let inequity rule and enforce its own laws, which are called Consequences.

Lions respect antelopes...because they are really tasty and easy to catch.

This sort of biology has always been soft. It’s a good field but this is an example how it can be and has been corrupted.

The hawks that live in my trees definitely agree. The little sage rats upon which the hawks feast... Well, I would imagine they with they had some “hawk privilege” too as they are ripped to shreds. .

Or Jordan Peterson is trolling them.

They never heard of a dominance hierarchy?
