Merit > Equality

The sacred cow of equality has three manifestations:
1.Equality of ability
2.Equality of opportunity
3.Equality of outcome

   Equality of ability: This is clearly and self evidently absurd. We are not equal, our personal talents, abilities and our very natures are in no way equal. Their is no equality of ability and it doesn't matter how that inequality of ability came to be. From a practical point of view it only matters that it exists.
   Equality of opportunity: This is lunacy especially in light of the first. How can you give 'equal opportunity' to a genius and a retard? To a man without eyes and a man without legs? Accurate, objective evaluation of the relative merit of the people involved is correct and necessary but how does this equate with equality? In fact objectivity can only result in inequality because we are inherently unequal.
   Equality of outcome: If their is no equality of our natures and no equality of opportunity why would we expect equality of outcome? On the contrary, honest objectivity expects to see inequality of outcome.

   They begin with the incorrect assumption that the fictional concept of equality is real and through lack of personal honesty and self awareness they make it a sacred cow. Everything must bend or break before this bloated, sacred dishonesty. If their is inequality it cannot be a result of inherent differences or merit but only because of external factors, oppression, unfairness or injustice. Like a bad scientist they look for the results they crave and when they are absent they will make observable reality conform to their theory. But reality wont bend or break for them and as time passes and inequality only becomes more apparent they become more desperate: Preferential treatment for their pets, wild accusations of nebulous, unspecified 'institutionalised' or society wide oppression, shrill aggression.
   But inequality is natural law.
   It is as non negotiable as gravity.
   Equality is the antithesis of merit because meritocracy is inherently unequal and elitist.
   It is because honest merit is objective that it is unequal, elitist and it works.
   Equality cannot exist, and the reality of pursuing this perverse fiction is becoming hideously self evident to anyone with basic honesty.
   Equality is a weapon they use to convince us that what is happening is correct and good when infact it is incorrect and evil.
