Your options are to offer the doctor something, ask for charity, or use violence (either yourself or through the state) to force someone to give you what you want.
Obviously I am not going to advocate for violence.
- silverquiet 2y agoWhy do you think people choose violence?
- beaglesss 2y agoThere are many reasons. One may be that in their particular case they can get away with it, it works, and they can blame the victim as not having a right to keep what they took in the first place.
- silverquiet 2y agoWe can go full postmodern - what gives anyone a right to anything in the first place anyway? In the end, isn't it whoever has the most capacity for violence who has the "right"?
- beaglesss 2y agoYou could consider that, but focusing on the violent option (curiously so far to the exclusion of everything else) and then beyond that focusing on rights based on capacity for violence may not be the path that comes out with the most benefit to the disabled.
- silverquiet 2y agoI've never received charity, but I've certainly received violence, and seen much more of it.
- dspillett 2y agoBut "violence through the state" are you suggesting that tax funded health care for those unable to pay for insurance, an act of violence?
