The free market already has one solution for this, imperfect as it may be. If an individual is the victim of criminal discrimination, they can seek legal council and determine if the case is prosecutable. I understand that this may not be economically viable for many; perhaps a collective focus on helping struggling individuals would help bolster support.
A one-size-fits-all approach to equalising the playing field is a fool's errand, as it comes with massive costs both seen and unseen. Beyond the constitutionally-enforced right to not be criminally discriminated against, the remaining standards that lead to ever-improving equality-of-opportunity ought to be enforced socially.
- konschubert 9y agoA legal system is a form of regulation. Let's not let the "free market" claim credit for that.
- KhanMahGretsch 9y agoI'm referring to the legal system that enforces constitutional rights, which is a far-cry from the government imposing restrictions on voluntary transactions among private citizens. Laws that enforce your inalienable human rights to not be physically harmed or robbed, to be left alone, are always a good thing. The free market provides us with legal professionals (though the must be credentialed) who may be hired to fight a case with the best-interests of their client at heart. Depending on your jurisdiction, it may also allow for collective funding of individual legal cases. I am of the opinion that pursuing real-life cases of legitimate criminal discrimination, and allowing virtuous ideas to win a marketplace of ideas, is the superior path to fairness and freedom for us all. This is direct opposition to the intersectional-collectivism that focusses on the aggregate-experience of an entire population and suggest solutions that are framed in this false paradigm.
