suds Posted February 11, 2023 Report Posted February 11, 2023 1 hour ago, Moonlight Graham said: In order for all racial groups to have more similar incomes you have to discriminate against the ones who do better than others. Same with the sexes. Equality of outcome, not equality of opportunity. Any disparities in income or other socioeconomic outcomes and racism, sexism etc is assumed, without proper evidence. Bad, lazy social science. That doesn't mean racism and sexism don't occur. But you need to isolate the variables and prove a problem exists if you're going to start discriminating against people to fixed a claimed problem. And the goal should still be equality of opportunity, not equal outcomes. John Rawls questioned if such great wealth (or income) inequalities were sustainable in liberal democratic societies. It was his belief that if one lived in a free society then the government could not instruct you (or anyone else) on how to live your life. Inequalities were to be expected and acceptable as long as the wealth was created by someone's own time and effort. Needless to say, Rawls wasn't a big fan of inheritances. This was referred to as 'distributive justice'. Quote

So completely different it's a wonder globalismists don't refer to the Earth as a cube just to underscore the difference. The last time I looked, Canada's free trade agreement with the US and Mexico was over 2300 pages. It doesn't sound unregulated to me. The EU in my opinion is the most unregulated (with free movement of workers) but they do shut the rest of the world out. Quote

I'm pretty sure the EU is communist to our biggest free trade fanclub. Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

Do you think hiring one race or sex over another is not a racist policy. Do you think promoting someone based on race or sex over another is a racist policy. Today we have these hiring practices within Federal government civil service, that are hiring and promoting based on race, color, creed, and sex, to keep flow charts and tables balanced. Hiring practice are not based on the best qualified candidate, but rather to fix unbalanced flow charts. Do you think that is fair. We have also seen this in our justice system, where one race is given lenient treatment due to race and their race is over represented in prisons and courts. Is that fair. These practices are in almost every department or sector in our nation. And they are considered normal by some. Quote We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have now done so much for so long with so little, we are now capable of doing anything with nothing.

I am Groot Posted February 13, 2023 Report Posted February 13, 2023 Just gonna park this here. If you want to work at a university you have to sign a pledge to support diversity, equity, and anti-racism policies. https://nationalpost.com/opinion/jamie-sarkonak-canadian-universities-using-dei-statements-to-force-conformity-of-thought Quote

Canada is into compelled speech now, which isn’t much different from using torture to exact a confession. Basically if you want a degree and job opportunities, you must read and sign the script. Western universities are no longer institutions of open discourse, learning, and debate. They are purveyors of credentials based on strict compliance to radical left political ideology.
