Equity

In righteousness shall he judge the world and the peoples with equity.

 - From Psalm 98

Long before Early 21st Century mockers started using the word "equity," as the ultimate virtue-signal, God had long ago established its relevance to The Plan for the Ages. 

Equality wasn't enough for the Age of Cynics. They never did like it (acting as children), when people that they love to oppose ended up using their words. For a time, they believed that equality was their word, and no one else could claim it. Their opposition would counter with such phrases as "Free men are not equal. Equal men are not free." And, when logic and honest reflection prevail, such statements are, in fact, true. The Equality crowd has always believed that freedom is the best method to gain the best outcomes for the most people. 

But finally, all people came around to a generalized understanding and agreement of the value and necessity of equality. The Left no longer had sole claim on the equality movement. It meant that we were all on the same page, using the same vocabulary. We were headed toward consensus. The Left had won that battle. In the 1990s, we were poised for rapid forward movement. 

But that was not acceptable to a splinter group on the Left, which later dominated our politics and authored the narrative. In fact, they do not like persuading others to their own side - they seem, actually, to hate agreement. They want so much to be different, and will do anything (it seems) to make of themselves the new Greatest Generation. But that requires they have some epic evil to vanquish. And where Hitlers do not exist, Hitlers must be created. 

They rediscovered the ancient word from the Lord: equity, and ran with it. Equity means that the outcomes are equal. And if outcomes can not be had via organic means, then artificial (fake) means must be created. Where the Right always desired that very thing: Equity in outcomes, they insisted that their methods were the fastest, most legitimate, and most sustainable way to attain it. But for the moment, the Left set themselves as virtue superiors, in their exclusive appropriation of the word equity.

But the problem for them, is . . . when God uses the word "equity," He also uses the word "righteousness." You cannot have one without the other. 

The Generation of Malcontents will always fall short of its goals. For, it will seek equity without righteousness. It will attempt national holiness, via unethical, Machiavellian, cynical means. It will always say one good-sounding thing, while actually doing what gets them noticed, what gets them celebrity . . . what gets them power. 

And that's not equitable at all.
