@stux@mstdn.social I would argue that when we’re breaking our rights down to having healthcare, or marrying who you want, etc., we’ve already lost the real right, which is to have *fairly* distributed support from one’s community and society. That’s what we are entitled to, IMO. Unfortunately, in the present US system (and beyond, but I can only speak as a GenX USian in 2026), the right to profit from the labor of others has *replaced* the right to support from society, such that all other rights have to be filtered through “but how are we going to PAY for it!” because we are expected to assume that someone (who is already wealthy) has to profit for these things to be possible. 🙄🤬😞
