Submission statement: a post in which I argue that instead of focusing on race and gender, activism should tackle the real societal disparity: the one between lucky and unlucky people.

If you don’t want to read the whole thing, the joke is that luck exists and some people have it and leverage it to become rich.
I am kinda disappointed because there is a real argument lefties make that the rich are just lucky and don’t deserve their gains (for example Sandel in The Tyranny of Merit). I think enough people buy this argument that it’s worth a more serious rebuttal.
