privilege yes, but rights... maybe in some societies, but I wouldn't generalize


Do you have an example?


do YOU have an example? rights are the same for everyone is in probably every constitution and sorta default;)


An 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.


I 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.

Your statements make more sense then. You are only concerned with a specific set of rights.
