Reply #27: Actually, using the term "equality" to undermine vulnerable groups has always been a rightwing trick

[readmoreoften]

* Adam Smith doesn't say that capitalists are "better than" workers, he says that they are equal to workers. Labor and Capital are "equal" through their exchange on the market.
* For years, anti-affirmative action groups have been complaining that white students aren't treated "equally". Like that Students for the Promotion of Western Culture organization that gives scholarships to white males because they are treated so "unequally".
* The anti-gay movement has always maintained that LGBT rights are SPECIAL RIGHTS and that everyone has the right to marry the opposite sex, thus we are all equal. The state treating gay people differently because they "love" one another is irrelevant. All people equally have the right to opposite sex marriage in the right-wing view.

So cut it out and stop trying to fuck over old and sick people in the name of "equality."
