A penny for anyone's—rational—thoughts!
Do you ever wonder if "social activists" realize that their insistence for special consideration of a minority group is ideologically identical to any other group's insistence that things remain the same? Any new law, tradition, or lifestyle is no more or less valid or deserving than any other/older one when you consider the context: the concentration of significant idiots in any specific demographic is always going to be higher than a certain minimum, above which subjective equality can only ever exist in the mind of the deluded. Advocating for any specific population's rights relative to another, different population's rights is always going to amount to nothing more than back-and-forth discrimination.
Are people today truly so incapable of creating their own identities that they must legally assimilate into those other, older—equally nonsensical—ones? The fact that one group may be smaller than another is irrelevant to the principle; it's not an issue of entitlement or rights at all, meaning power balances are merely crutches for the endless rationalizations. This should be obvious to everyone who puts their mind to the stone and pushes a bit, (and, if you're going to have an opinion on anything at all, you are rationally obligated to do exactly that), but in another demonstration of true equality where willful stupidity and intellectual laziness are concerned, the only people speaking out tend to be those who have an emotional investment in their idea – i.e. those people who have nothing at all useful to say, but who nevertheless insist on saying it louder than everyone else. Attention whores, all of them. Pitiful, all of it.
I would like to believe that there are still a minority of individuals in the world who are capable of making up their own minds about their own damned selves, at least, but it does seem that fence-hopping is the new intellectual "middle ground" according to the modern thought-trend.
Hah! "Modern thought-trend." I love a good oxymoron.
Thankfully, our legal and social systems pay for themselves, so nobody ever has to bear the personal or social burdens of anyone else's specific stupidity.
—Wait... right?
