Equality and Discrimination

Equality and Discrimination
Values today are like flotsam picked up from the sea and used to suit every passing fad.
Values mean little or nothing individually and must be used in conjunction logically to achieve any useful conclusion.
To lack discrimination used to be a reproach. Today it is used to denote a sin. It may also be confused with equality, and applied to whatever behaviour or acts are in vogue. Both these values, as with others, can be used in different ways to ‘good’ or ‘ill’.
Discrimination can apply to both a ‘tyranny’, and an ‘altruist’ society. Class, caste, ‘racism’ in one direction, and moral responsibility in the other direction. Anarchist society does not discriminate.
Equality applies to both ‘anarchist’ or altruist societies. All things are equal that do not self-destruct in one direction, and all things that are socially responsible in the other direction. Tyranny has no equality except where it signifies nothing..
What the morality of altruist society consists of is a pragmatic question, altruism is merely a value in opposition to chaos, tyranny, and anarchistic moral vacuity. Altruism is intrinsically based on society as real function, or the community.
In the present matter of covid passports, which is criticised as discriminatory, morality is always discriminatory to a necessary purpose.
