If I'm willing to pay you for it, why can't I have it? What reason is there to deny me the ability to access culture if I'm willing to pay?
Is it because I was (without any choice of mine) born in the wrong country?
Am I entitled for being born in the wrong country? That sounds more like snobbery from people born in the "right" country.
- Joeri 11y agoCountries are an instrument of discrimination. Denying access to culture is one of the milder aspects. People born in the wrong country are locked out of many rights others take for granted, even human rights. The nation state system is inherently immoral because it sets up castes of people by birth with little recourse for moving to a higher caste. That's why i think democratic forces will eventually get rid of the concept of independent sovereign states and lead to a globally harmonized system of human rights and obligations. And maybe then we'll finally all be able to watch the new game of thrones episodes at the same time as americans.
