Him: because you believe in rights for groups and I believe in individual liberty
Me: do you not understand that if everyone has the same rights that each individual would have the same rights and we would all be free?
Him: that's not how it works
Me: it really is though
Him: it isn't
Me: can you explain how you wouldn't have rights if everyone was guaranteed the same rights?
Him: if we give everyone rights then nobody will be able to rise above the pack and prosper
Me: ok so I am hearing that you think you'll have more assets and resources if you made sure that there's a permanent class of people you can exploit while you have special rights they don't get
Him: no
Me: rights for you but none for others
Him: I believe in individual liberty
Me: I believe in Liberty and Justice for all
Him: even foreigners?
Me: each and every human being
Him: that won't work
Me: why not?
Him: if everyone's the same who is in charge?
Me:
Him: no answer?
Me: so you want rights for you but not for others so you can prosper and then have someone above you who is in charge of you?
Him: yes
Me: So you want to go back to like Kings and peasants
Him: well I wouldn't be a peasant
Me: because you would have rights that peasants don't?
Him: yes
Me: so you want to live in a highly authoritarian system with an unaccountable leader and you want to make sure that rights are not universal but based on like what?
Him: if you own land
Me: do you own land?
Him: I can't afford it
Me: because you're currently unable to exploit enough people
Him: no I would earn it
Me: earn it now then
Him: I can't because of the elites
Me: oh so you can't own a house because there's currently a system where really rich people can exploit the masses without fear of any accountability and your big idea is that we burn democracy to the ground in the hopes that somehow you get to be on the top after the fires go out?
Him: yes
Me: you need therapy, this is maladaptive and unhinged, your entire thing is gross and inappropriate and I think you should leave
Him: the country?
Me: the planet
