>Why would you want equality of outcomes anyway? It goes against individual Freedom.
"An interesting article in The Atlantic talks about studies showing that liberals think in terms of fairness while conservatives think in terms of morality. So if you want to persuade someone on the other team, you need to speak in their language. We almost never do that. That’s why you rarely see people change their opinions.
....If your aim is to persuade, you have to speak the language of the other. Talking about fairness to a conservative, or morality to a liberal, fails at the starting gate. The other side just can’t hear what you are saying."

- ekianjo 8y agoYes, but words have no meaning at this stage, because "fairness" means completely different things depending on who you talk to. It's very ambiguous, because the value systems are completely different. For example, you could make a case that "redistributing wealth is fair", yes also claim that "owning the reward of your hard work is fair" and they kind of go against each others.
