You can have the latter and have a echo chamber of a single narrative, which is exactly twitter was. Then pat your self on the back "OH we are so inclusive look at the the different skin tones!" Yeah but everyone has the same boring ideas so what the fuck does that matter?

If the same boring ideas of that diverse group of men, women, LBGTQ people and PoC are that we need to strive for equality between all of these groups... that is exactly the point.

  > that we need to strive for equality between all of these groups That is fucking terrifying and most centrality undesirable, unless you mean equality of opportunity, then absolutely. But equality of outcome is the worst possible thing anyone could ever strive for.

    Yes, I am saying we need to neurally castrate every intelligent person to be no smarter than the dumbest person. We need to cut the tendons of every person who is more athletically capable than the most disabled person. We need to burn down everyone's houses so that we can all share cardboard boxes alongside the homeless. Yes. Yes. This is what the position is. Don't let anyone ever try to tell you otherwise. There is no equality of opportunity for groups of people that have had generation after generation of systemic oppression, exclusion and poverty. You don't do that to an entire subculture of people for hundreds of years, and then think you can snap your fingers and say "Okay cool, segregation is over so now we all have equal opportunity!" There is so much that goes into being a successful person that is subtle, environmental, learned through exposure, enabled by connections and passed down through generations. Same goes for the flipside which is called the cycle of poverty. There's a lot of damage that needs to be undone, which will take active investment on behalf of society at large to accomplish. I'm too tired to write out an essay on the history of racism in the US and why that history is still a massive burden on the descendants of those people today. This information is widely available if you genuinely want to understand.
