The reason the two sides can’t communicate, and the reason our side gets so frustrated, is because they seem illogical. They keep repeating themselves as if they didn’t listen to our argument, but they did listen, they just weren’t convinced because they have different values. The biggest one being that egalitarians don’t account for merit. Logic says that 2 people are equal if they get the same pay: for example, if the pay is $20/hr, and one guy works 10 hrs and another works 5, they would get $200 and $100 respectively, but egalitarians are focused on the outcome being the same so both should get $150.
Another fundamental difference is “inclusion.” Our goal is access to opportunity be the same for everyone, regardless of race, but the egalitarians believe in restricting opportunity based on race until the inclusion is the same.
