I fundamentally disagree with this for many reasons, primarily out of my fundamental believe in INEQUALITY.
The believe in natural INEQUALITY has given me a much more acute and honestly noble view of a person in their 30s making minimum wage.

Chigong's view here is one from equality, the Conservative mind is also programming with the firmware of modern Liberalism and foundational equality in biology.
It posits that "since we are all born equal, any material difference in outcome MUST be due to that person's failures"
It posits that "since we are all born equal, any material difference in outcome MUST be due to that person's failures"
If we are all equal, and the societal structure is more or less "equal" in its treatment of the equal citizens, then one person doing well and being a material success, while another bags groceries, then we can infer that one of them "never tried" or is "lazy" and so on
Liberals are the other side of the coin, also having the fundamental belief in "equality", they see any difference in material outcomes as a structural issue, = they don't see the "system" as treating people fairly/equally/equitable, despite the fact of preferential treatment
Cons say "that person must be lazy", Libs say "the system screwed that person."
Because they think we are all equal, then if outcomes are different, something had to go wrong.
Cons will allow for SOME inequality, such as "work ethic" or "perseverance", but not biological.

"that guy is rich because he has good work ethic and values" is the conservative answer.
or "that guy is making minimum wage because he doesn't even try, anybody can try." and so on

how does this look if you don't believe in equality, but INEQUALITY?
well, in my case, i have a friend from high school named Joe, he still works at the grocery store he worked at when we were in high school. I see him weekly.
I don't think Joe is a loser or lazy, not at all.

he actually probably works harder than i do. i went to undergrad and a law school on academic scholarships. Joe gets carts and bags groceries.
Joe probably worked harder in high school than i did, by a lot, i can almost guarantee it actually.
we were born unequal.

we were born unequal.
If i was Ian Chinggong, i would call Joe a loser and lazy. But i know Joe just wasn't as smart as others, he didn't get as lucky, not as high IQ, not as good of a memory.
We were not born equal, we ended up different places. that goes for all of society. we need places for Joe

If you don't view me and Joe as the same from the start, then you understand why we ended up different places.
it's not Joe's fault, Joe isn't a loser, nor is he lazy. He just didn't get the hand that let him get a scholarship or any other talent. to go be something else.

I feel almost a sense of duty to people like Joe, they help society function that I exist in. he serves a need, pays his taxes or whatever, he's a member of the town.
people like me that can "make it" higher owe the people under a duty to at least at least not take advantage of the or look down on them, probably even more. that's the concept of noblesse oblige that is entirely LOST in a society that believes in the lie of equality.
now you have elites that think "wow i got mine, i must just be that much harder of a worker" lmao
i never worked hard at all to get a law degree. i didn't.
i had some sleepless nights, but it was a workload issue not a difficulty issue. most of my peers are the same.

one of my friends was downright LAZY through school and was still top half of the class. he just got a better brain than others.
because we are not all equal.
