I appreciate the effort, but it is unrealistic to expect an old tree to straighten.

So you're saying you need to start updating systems now, even though you won't see the results for 10-30 years?

You're getting it!

Inclusion at the end is fucking stupid. A baseball game where random people are playing is not the same thing as a pro game people are watching. Someone who has one arm trying to hit a major league pitch is going to be completely destroyed and it won't be fun for anyone. This naive and stupid understanding of inclusion is what makes random morons think they're experts on vaccines despit what the elite scientists think because they watched a video on YouTube. Not everyone can do everything, and they shouldn't be expected to. People have different skills and strengths and the rest of the meme acknowledges that and then at the end it just becomes completely stupid. You can even tell that some moron, probably an HR drone, tacked this on at the end and probably felt smug about going above and beyond the original comic without actually understanding what it was saying.

I think the fence also likely exists for a reason, so removing the fence isn't a good example of justice. Rather, changing the viewing area to be above the fence would be a better example.

Or swap the opaque fence for a transparent fence (glass, chain link, netting, etc)

I think you're taking this too literally. It's a good representation of the words and their meanings. Obviously it does not accurately portray a baseball game. It's not trying to. It's an analogy.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

The analogy sucks ass. Everyone getting to watch the baseball game unimpeded is inclusion, some lazy dumbass just wanted to one up the original comic and didn't think it through.

Little dude just trying to reach his apples 🤣

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

He is struggling to reach them. You can learn more from his book "My Struggle". Once a best-seller in Germany

Why does the right-wing kid not just come over to the left-wing?

Conservatives want to bring us back to the first one, because "it's naive childishness to even pretend people could be equal".

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Both liberal and conservatives benefit from inequality. Conservatives are just more vocal about it.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Why is there a question mark on 'equality'?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I am assuming that it is because people see "equality" as the epitome of human fairness, so it is questioning that.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Sounds like it's saying "or maybe this isn't real equality?", which is very counter to what I assume is its intended message, an attempt to convince the reader that equality isn't the epitome of human fairness.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Well, equality is sometimes referred to in the vain of "everyone is equal" rather than "everyone is treated equal". I think that might be what it's saying. When the social idea of equality first emerged, I cannot imagine even for a second that they were like "yeah, everyone should be given exactly the same things regardless of their personal situation", because nobody striving for an idea LIKE equality would come to that resolution. Like, equity is just what equality should have been in the first place.
