    Do correct me, but doesn’t the conclusion “matter as much” here mean that they do not, in fact, matter?

    Like, “Those who like pineapple on pizza, matter as much.”, is anti-barbarian, whereas “Those who like pineapple on pizza, matter just as much.” is more the hippie, peace and love sentiment.

      “matter as much” has essentially the same meaning as “matter just as much”. It means the amount of ‘mattering’ is the same. If you “don’t matter as much” then it’s the opposite.
