Summary

This quote suggests that the idea of equality, often celebrated and preached as a principle of justice, can be misleading. The speaker argues that equality as a doctrine can be poisonous because it ultimately undermines justice. The implication is that true justice might involve recognizing and treating individuals differently based on their unique circumstances, rather than blindly advocating for absolute equality for all.
