A good youtube channel with a lot of well-defined political terms and human history of decision making
Thanks for posting your transcript and putting in chapter markers, it is much easier for me to read than to listen to a 90-minute video.
And in this episode, I’m going to argue that replacing the word “equality” with the much more vague concept of “equity” is largely a way of taking ideas that promote economic inequality and disguising them in the language and style of social justice – and that it’s also a way of keeping people of all races, genders and ethnicities divided in conflict and competition with one another, so that we can’t pose an effective challenge to the people in power.
It is great that you have shone a light on this recent phenomenon in neoliberal politics, especially from the US Democratic party, of singing the praises of equity over equality, and showing how equity is just a bait-and-switch for right wing policies that focus on a narrow range of economic outcomes rather than the material conditions of peoples lives.
It is not my video, I just saw it and liked it.
I tried posting a transcript of this video to politics@lemmy.world community, but the mod banned me.

I preferred watching the video, it is linked in the description of the video and in my comment above, just in case you like that format more.
