There will never be a level playing field. People are different. “Pushing to level the playing field” is just doublespeak for authoritarianism.
Just a quick question, who will be in charge of “leveling the playing field”? Who gets to choose what criteria determines whether it’s level or not? Do you think they might have some advantage? Will it be a level field for them?
- woojoo666 4y agoThese are all hard questions but this is a different debate entirely. I was explaining why acknowledging birth privilege is not the same as just telling people "sorry you weren't lucky, too bad". For the people that believe in leveling the playing field, actual social change can be just as important (if not more) as the mindset and hard work touted by successful people.
