This is the realization I had the other day. It's an abstraction of the "their are no winners in war" paradox.
Racism does bad things. So then we try and fix the negative effects of racism. We practice a new form of "good racism." But it's still racism. And all it does is create more racism, despite our good intentions to roll back the negative effects of racism.
We do the same with sexism. And agism. And any other form of differentiationism.
And those that benefit not from one state or the other, but rather the flux of transitioning from one state to the other, flock to, and encourage the correctionism.
