  What are some “good” inequalities?

    I think a variety of levels of pay depending on job position, effort, or skill is a great example. Not all jobs are equal, so they should not all yield the same amount of pay.

      Yeah, that’s not what anybody means when they talk about inequalities.

        Interesting, since that's textbook income inequality.

        What sorts of inequalities do you think of, from the perspective of critical theory?

    But I don't do drugs

      I highly doubt you’ve never tried methamphetamine. Every racist pretending to be black when they’re called out for racism on the Internet is big into it at some point in their lives.

        I've never tried methamphetamine, although I believe I have ADHD and I certainly wouldn't be opposed taking an amphetamine at some point in the future

  what is woke is to believe that all inequalities or power hierarchies are inherently bad.

  That sounds like a thinly veiled way of saying you’re a supremacist.

    If we're both the lens of wokeness I'd agree, even though I'm a black dude, as under that framework it's inequality, not discrimination, that is racism.

  How can wokeness be a specific academic concept? That doesn’t make sense, CRT is CRT and it’s just an academic lens.

  But what are some examples of social inequalities that are not inherently bad? Your other examples are not social inequalities. You’re looking at something like suggesting what kinds of systematic racism are good actually, not looking at things like the difference in pay between an engineer and a janitor.

    You would have to provide your definition of social inequalities for me to answer, since you don't think that my examples qualify as inequalities.
