minus-squarePeepinGoodArgs@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up26arrow-down3·9 months agoHmm, that could definitely be phrased more powerfully. If they don’t want money to be a birthright, then poverty and destitution shouldn’t be free? Life’s necessities shouldn’t be paywalled if they don’t want birthright funds? To oppose money as a birthright is to support survival not being held hostage by financial scarcity? Or whatever. Idk, I spent too much time on this. It was fun though!
