It won’t until we stop redefining simple words and phrases…
We have new definitions for words:

Justice, unless there is a need for modifiers to differentiate the different kinds.

Free speech until you say things that are not to be said.

Diversity, but not for ideas.

Equality, but only as an outcome, not as an opportunity.


Some believe that liberty is the core value where a person has the right to choose their course as long as they do not infringe upon the liberty of others. Even if an individuals choices lead them to undesirable outcomes. People are not born equal and we as a society fiercely protect their right to liberty and self determination.

Others hold as a higher value the outcomes and believe it is better to curb individual liberty to achieve what they believe the outcomes should be. They seem to struggle with the notion that we are not actually born equal, therefore they conclude that society has the responsibility to do all in its power to make people equal.

This unsurprisingly results in very strange outcomes as they continually attempt to put their thumb on the scale of opportunity hoping to achieve what they perceive as more desirable outcomes.
