As far as I can see, we have this thing called a constitution and a bill of rights. I don't know what kind of society you're proposing that would somehow remove those things. I personally would prefer to keep our human and democratic rights. Coincidentally, reducing inequality is a great way to do that.

To me, it looks like you're casting aspersions on people who advocate progressive social change. But I'm sure that's not your aim, so why not just state outright what you really think and clear up my misunderstanding.
- inglor_cz 5y agoI am not planning any "casting aspersions" (wtf) games, I am stating quite outright what comes to my mind. That is it.
- mrtesthah 5y ago>what comes to my mind … Which is? What, exactly, is coming to your mind? Because it looks like you’ve drawn the conclusion that seeking to improve our society in any way is a slippery slope toward eugenics. And I don’t see how that follows, so I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt to correct my misunderstanding, requesting for you to elaborate on your point.
