The Goolag Echopeligo, by Robert Gore
A cherished goal of the diversity drones is to get the unfavored group to applaud not just the drones’ enlightened moral status, but to pretend that the favored group does just as good a job as the unfavored one, and that diversity of secondary traits (but not, evidently, diversity of thought) itself confers a benefit. It’s a subset of an “optics” problem that besets the entire redistributive racket: how do you get unfavored producers not just to go along with the scam and keep producing unearned benefits for the racketeers and redistributees, but to pretend they like it?

Thanks.
The collectivists problem is and will always be to get the producer to provide for the non producers
and shut up or be happy about it and no value given to the production.
Exactly my thoughts in this whole charade and said as much back in 72 to a gorgeous gay chick that later hooked up with me...she never went back, later got married and last I heard, has had a happy life accepting her evolutionary role in nature, the quantum and existence itself.
You've nailed the essence of the collectivist's dilemma Bob. They have been trying to implement Marx's "from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs" since 1875. The only problem with that pronouncement is that able people do not wear yokes well and there is no objective way to assess and satisfy a person's needs. Undissuaded by dismal failure, they wearily plod on providing grist for your intellectual mill. You deserve a wider audience.
