While morality is a different discussion for sure, I was only referring to how society as an organism views people. The wealthy undeniably have more rights and privilege than the poor.
- throwaway290 11mo agoprivilege yes, but rights... maybe in some societies, but I wouldn't generalize
- mathgeek 11mo agoDo you have an example?
- throwaway290 11mo agodo YOU have an example? rights are the same for everyone is in probably every constitution and sorta default;)
- mathgeek 11mo agoAn example from me wouldn’t disprove your claim that there are places with equal rights across the board. E.g. in the US it’s clear that the wealthy have rights granted via political donations. That doesn’t prove or disprove your claim. I hesitate to even mention such examples for fear of a response being more focused in it than the claim you made.
- throwaway290 11mo agoI am ok if you say "people with more money live better lives" but if you say "people with more money have more rights" is a bomb statement because "rights" means something specific and legally important.
- mathgeek 11mo agoYour statements make more sense then. You are only concerned with a specific set of rights.
