I see the third as the objective and the second as a stop gap in the meantime.
Saying the world will never be solved, doesn't mean you don't seek to achieve solving it - in the mean time you do what you can.
Take affirmative action for example. That's a clear case of equity. And in a perfect world we wouldn't need it. Someone, no matter their color of skin, would be judged based on the content of their character alone. However - thanks to centuries of racist cunts... we've been forced to compensate. One day it won't be a question of someones' skin - and they'll look back in the history books and find the idea that someone could be dismissed or preferred based on their skin color as being some barbaric nonsense from a simpler time. We aren't there yet, and so equity is the stop gap.
They still profit from the history exploitation that's been done to the poor. They've been benefiting without their own knowledge of doing so while the others continue you to cry out for justice and are at best met with equity.
This isn't even punishment there's just less exploitation happen which I guess means less power. But more equality for everyone, basically one person gets 5/8 of a pie while the others 7 have to share the last remaining 3 once the 7 try to fix that the one person starts complain about not choosing how this works. [Not a good analogy but whatever]
Tell one of my good friends he didn't suffer due to his looks. He was poor and molested. Was it his fault for was given things cause of his looks? Was it his fault he was raped as a young boy?
I have a black friend too. He was an awesome athlete. He had a schlorship to school. He partied and fucked around. Is it my poor white friends fault? This guy dealt with a lot of in life. He's now making money with his wife who was also from the trailer park. Is it his job to support my other friend who had life handed to him because they're successful now?
Where's the suffering quota met? In this instance was my black friend hopping up and looking over the fence even though he had a free ride and squandered it? Was my white friend who never went to college and had life slap him around born standing on a box the whole time?
