Here's a human version of my argument for those of you Earth-born creatures.
Perfect equality is seemingly what a lot of people strive for. However, in reality, such a "utopia" would contain nothing, emptiness, void of anything as existing itself creates an inequality in the environment.
Inequality can be a GOOD thing. It creates variety, and prevents culture from becoming a boring cesspool of awfulness. Unequal circumstances is where many of humanity's most important advances were made. Societies that already had everything or were content with what they needed had no incentive to advance.
That being said, destructive inequality can result in chaos. It can come from misunderstandings, cultures that doesn't change and adapt as society moves forward and upholding harmful traditions. It can cause havoc to those on the **** end of the stick.
In my opinion, we shouldn't strive for perfect equality, as that is an impossible task and will cause more damage than good.
We should prevent and punish destructive inequalities that hinder progress and ignore inequalities that cannot be changed no matter what, or do zero harm.
Now the only problem with this stance is defining what inequalities are destructive and what aren't. That can be discussed and debated. As times change, topics will change and solutions will be different.
TL : DR Not all inequalities need to be addressed, only the destructive ones should.

I love these comics. Smart, refreshing humour in them, amazing OC, and it is relevant to the current affairs.
Praise be Samio, for he draws the sun.
