Equality blues

I thought I was critical of the egalitarian trance the West is in. Alex Curtagic makes the case that the absolutizing fetish of equality is rankly evil, the moral scourge of modernity.
...egalitarianism has a terrorist history, beginning with the French Revolution, a movement comprising criminals, psychopaths, alcoholics, defectives, and sociopathic geniuses. This may also be because egalitarianism attracts the worst elements of any population, since they are the ones with most to gain by equality policies.
Communism may be dead, but Marx's ghost is alive and well. The West may have won the battle but lost the war. Now that everyone is speaking and thinking in the same language again, we can get back to building the Tower of Babel.

Since I have noticed it, it continues to amaze me how various majorities in the West --men, Whites, heterosexuals, people who can walk upright and speak English-- have now adopted a default psychological attitude of anxiety in relation to various minorities, a debilitating and servile fear of offending them. The grownups living in terror of the teenagers' moods. They have simply been talked into it. And in the space of a single lifetime. An internalization of Burnham's brilliant insight that "the liberal is always morally disarmed in the presence of those he deems less well off than himself." Suicidal indeed.

Whites, White men especially, may have created the modern world as we know it, an unparalleled achievement. But now they are revealed as the most foolish people on earth, selling out their birthright for a deeply potty message.

I bet you don't even know the words, never mind the tune, to "Children of the Rainbow" by Lillebjoern Nilsen, as inspired by Pete Seeger's "IranBow Race" ...

Actually, looks like the anonymous Christianity West is getting its act together for a return to traditionalist patriarchy in a hierarchical quasi-universe. Some of the words of this anthem apparently include:

With the accurate understanding of God and His law
They went about the work of building
A new nation
The rainbow children

Wise one who understood the law
That was handed down from God long ago
Reflected the true meaning to his woman every day
And she surrendered her discerning of it into his care and keeping

For she trusted he would lead in the right way
Her children in subjection to her, she in subjection to the wise one
The wise one in subjection to the Almighty God
Forever is in subjection to God

In fact there's a reprise of the Biblical fall into sin, etc. But somehow the covenant will be kept "this time" (kept in this world, without expression into the world? and its chaos or tohu. As if there's only an 'inner path' that raptures or 'translates' out of the world into this world):

»Just like the sun, the rainbow children rise
Flyin' upon the wings of the new translation
See them fly, fly, covenant will be kept this time
Just like the sun, the rainbow children rise

Rainbow children it's time to rise
Rainbow children it's time to rise

As prophesied, the wise one and his woman
Were tempted by the resistor
He knowing full well the wise one's love for God
Assimilated the woman first and only

Quite naturally chaos ensued
And shield far verbally
Were banished
From the rainbow forever

Just like the sun, the rainbow children rise
Flyin' upon the wings of the new translation
See them fly, fly, covenant will be kept this time
Just like the sun, the rainbow children rise

Just like the sun, the rainbow children rise
Flyin' upon the wings of the new translation
See them fly, fly, the covenant will be kept this time
Just like the sun, the rainbow children rise«

Maybe accepting 'others' who leave their otherness at the this world door is the key:

»Who is she? Oh father
The everlasting one
The one who came from nothing
And nothin' is where everything comes

The one who commands your armor
With the simple phrase 'I am'
Every time that she obeys
She gives birth to the Son of Man, who is this?

Production of a need to need to
Understand others before denials
Production of a need to need to
Understand others before denials«

"like" not "as" sc imitation, mimesis, but without competition in mimesis, right?

»Do you dream it like
A person the people found so
Never changing one piece of it
To feel like one with the flow

The scales within become unbalanced
And thus began the fall
The sin of one within
the count of sin of one and all

Rise rainbow children rise
Rise rainbow children rise

Wise one who understood the law
That was handed down from God long ago
Held fast in his belief
That the Lord would bring him another one
Who loved him so«
