Conflating a rich family's claim to their medieval land holdings with the above mentioned struggles is totally flippant and disrespectful.
- colechristensen 7y agoWhy? The morality depends on the size of the group? or the present wealth of the group?
- rbg246 7y agoFlippant - you summarised a whole series of complicated issues in two small paragraphs which demonstrated flippancy conflating very different issues. Disrespectful - these complicated issues involve people who have been and continue to be disadvantaged by these issues, your flippancy is disrespectful.
- colechristensen 7y agoMostly what you have to say there is that I'm flippant and disrespectful because I was being flippant and disrespectful. The only explanation there is that I'm talking about "issues involve people who have been and continue to be disadvantaged" Those rich folks have been "disadvantaged" by being deprived of things they have claims on. Obviously they are already quite advantaged, but you can't deny they have less advantage without the things they're claiming. So, it only matters that one group has fewer resources therefore they have a moral advantage? I think you are being flippant and disrespectful by calling me names instead of providing substantial counterpoints.
- rbg246 7y agoIt is a tad ironic, that I have been "flippant" and "disrespectful" to your argument (not you, mind you, unless you are your argument) you wrote out in 1 minute with minimal thought. Yet at the same time, you can't see how you have been "flippant" and "disrespectful" to the complicated issues (with real people who are affected by this) you pulled together in your 2 paragraph comment. Ignoring all detail when there have been 10000s of academic books written trying to explain and understand these issues from all viewpoints.
- colechristensen 7y agoYou don't really seem to have anything of substance to say so I'll just wish you a good day.
- rbg246 7y agoI understand that it is hard to digest criticism. Have a good day.
