Are they free to consume more and more limited resources in doing so without fairly compensating the body politic for that consumption?
Or, put more bluntly: why must I and my children pay for them?
- mfatica 7y agoIf they have proper right to those resources then they certainly can consume them however they want.
- eropple 7y agoBeyond the basic rights afforded by civil society one has remarkably few rights without corresponding responsibilities. Consumption comes with a lot of them. How are you proposing to fairly and equitably address those while leaving a better world for our children?
- mfatica 7y agoNot sure what methodology you follow, but freedom means freedom. If I don't care to leave a better world than that's my right. It doesn't make me a good person but freedom is freedom.
- eropple 7y agoSo, to be clear, you don't subscribe to any social contract? None? You don't think there's any responsibility for one's externalities? None? Because uh. That's literally sociopathic.
