The “perhap...<i>Perhaps no two things are truly equal.</i><br />The “perhaps” should be removed: there is not any one exception, even for God, because Father, Son and Holy Spirit, being perfectly equal, are one. All creatures are by nature hierarchical, although there is an overall equality within a nature: all men are equal in certain respects, while being all different, thus necessarily unequal.<br /><br />The problem of “equality” comes from the French Revolution warping of liberty, equality and fraternity. Chesterton alluded to this problem by saying the revolutionaries used “Christian ideas gone mad.” The French Freemason-inspired revolutionaries conflated justice with equality, evacuated charity (love of God and neighbour) from fraternity, and negated that liberty (or any other virtue or value for that matter) was rooted in transcendental truth. They then begot monsters, with which Leftists-nihilists, and those contradictory people that are secular conservatives and liberal “Christians,” are stuck forever, unless, as you always say, they repent and convert.<br /><br />False equality, then, is not justice, as it keeps only distributive justice and completely deforms and mostly evacuates commutative justice, thus the use of the other three cardinal virtues (prudence, courage and self-control) as well as, of course, the supernatural virtue of mercy. This is clear in any law or rule not devised by men of goodwill, those who still obey their conscience and natural law, and acknowledge human nature evil tendencies.Sylvie D.

But 'equality' is tactically valuable in the plan of destruction; because in the public realm nobody can argue against inequality; nobody can argue in favour of difference - thus the true nature of things is obscured, and effective action is prevented.
