Why couldn’t much of this just be an error in the DOB, like a flipped couple of digits or something?

Are they actually tracking all of those down and verifying the date/SS number is actually some kind of fraud vs just a mistake.

Asking honestly, I’m MAGA and 100% behind what DOGE is doing.

Absolutely. In certain cultures, honor killings exist which violates rights in Americans' eyes but not the eyes of those cultures.

Then those cultures would be wrong.


Based on my point of view, which is the only one that matters to me.

Am I doing that right?

quote:

---

Right to life is dependent on society and the fear of punishment - if fear of punishment does not exist - your life can be extinguished at any time

---

That my life can be extinguished at any time is true enough, but that's true with or without any esoteric "fear of punishment" or "protection of the state", and it has no bearing on my own right to life. If my life is taken away by someone intentionally, and for no justifiable reason, then my right to life was violated, but that doesn't mean I never had that right.

But if I kill that someone, who was trying to kill me for no just reason, then I am not violating any right, I'm just protecting my own right to life. No society or state involved, just two people, but there is still a need to differentiate those two realities - outright cold blooded murder vs self-defense.

That's my narrative anyway and I'm sticking with it. You post-modern types can go off on your boondoggles but remember, based on your own ideology, my point of view is just as valid as yours is and part of that view is a resistance to allowing every new ideology that comes along to change the longstanding concepts and vocabulary that has been built up around and in support of my preferred narratives. Especially when such attempts at "change" are just a mechanism or ploy to gain power to yourself and bend old narratives to seemingly fit your perverse ways of thinking.

Rights are socially constructed

Would you say that your right to life, to not be murdered in your sleep for no reason, is a social construct dependent on consensus?

I mean ceteris paribus of course, all else equal, not if you are a mass murderer or something.

White wife/Black husband marriages show twice the divorce rate of White wife/White husband couples by the 10th year of marriage, whereas Black wife/White husband marriages are 44% less likely to end in divorce than White wife/White husband couples over the same period.

Now do White wife/Black husband marriages vs Black wife/Black husband marriages.

That’s convenient.

When it’s discrimination in the workplace, is it on the individual manager or is it systemic privilege and discrimination that requires a full on anti-racist and equity movement?

When it’s police brutality is it on the individual officer or is it system racism that requires a reimagining of the way policing is done and funded in our entire country?

When it’s religious or racial discrimination is it on the individual bigot or is it a sign of a whole series of perverse “phobias” embedded in our society that require civil unrest and all manner of affirmative action to address?
