RE: EXPOSING THE MYTH OF EQUALITY
Yup, quite a quagmire trying to manage and control equality/equal opportunity/equal-everything, and this often amounts to an attempt to blend and then 'equate' around the level of the lowest common denominator. It seems to look at the physical and material aspects of life and attempts to use force to chop bits off here, add bits on there, such that there is an appearance of similarity/equality (uniformity?). It is wide open to corruption and becomes, as on Orwell's farm: 'All animals are equal, just some are more equal than others.'
My take:
I too think this is misguided.
I think we are each unique expressions (of ONE fundamental reality/energy - there is connection, not separation). As such, there is no basis for comparison whatsoever. All comparisons look at characteristics that are fleeting and transitory, and which form the flux of change and experience - the details. Each expression of an individual, each experience experienced by an individual, is unique. Comparison itself is flawed, for it assumes attributes of the real person are being measured against another real person. This is false IMO (even violent), and more like STRAWPERSON vs STRAWPERSON. I am not any measure I can be compared by - no attribute such as name, job, nationality, possessions, reputation, habits, traumas etc is who I am, they can all be altered without altering the essence of 'I'.
Thus, I think that part of the 'myth' of equality is that equality needs to be managed and that comparison is meaningful. I do not believe that it does/is, for, as unique expressions of the ONE, we are at the same time utterly beyond comparison, and also, fundamentally identical - and in between is the varied, multi-coloured dance of life (UN- HOMOGENIZED SAMENESS DIFFERENCE :). Considerations of equality/inequality seem to take place in incomplete or artificial conceptual settings, and are often fear-based and negative. The beauty and truth of paradox is discarded in the heartless march of 2-dimensionally misapplied logic and reason.
Equality, I think, exists in the infinite potentiality that we all - as spirit beings having a human experience - have as the core of our essence, we ARE this infinte potentiality. In terms of the ability to realise our own potential (expressing ourselves freely and fully, without fear - actually living vs existing/surviving), no being has greater or lesser access to the Source, no being has greater or lesser access to the potential to realise oneself as such :D
As you say "And most importantly be fucking RESPONSIBLE for yourself and stop being the perpetual VICTIM." - I am sooooo tired of my own conditioned bullshit, and I am tired of listening to it in the human world around (physical and virtual) LOL. Nature may not allow equality the way in which the traumatised human psyche would like to manage it, yet there seems to be no inequality in Nature either, except at the level of human illusion!
Many thanks @mistermercury 🔆

Sorry, I've been delayed in getting back to you in regards to your excellent comment. I agree with you that our ultimate reality is we are expressions of the One. I Am that I Am is the truth for everyone. However, on this earthly plane we experience separation, we fall back on our survival instincts, our consciousness drops. We fall prey to all sorts of misbeliefs and falsehoods. We madly scrabble about in an effort to mold outer circumstances to make the inner person feel good when it is actually the inner person that bbrings joy and goodness.
