None of which you did anything to earn.

My ancestors earned it and they chose to give it to their descendance.

Yes they earned their society because they worked on it, no it wasn't a selfish choice because the society was and is theirs, and yes you can own progress, a society, and freedom. Which is why half the world is monkeys flinging feces and some would kill to enter the first world.

Uh they didn’t work alone on it, and they left a ton of people out, ripping freedom and progress from their hands without a second thought.

Your ancestors were thieves and oppressors, and took things that didn’t belong to them, which means the resulting better society isn’t yours or theirs to give or take. It’s free for whoever comes and helps grow it.

Honestly I wish we had some mechanism to cast out the entitled and let in the hopeful. People who believe as you do don’t deserve the gift of a progressive society.

>Your ancestors were thieves and oppressors

You are a self-loathing, little person.

That strikes me as a very unnecessary ad hominem.

I personally think their statement has a high likelihood of being valid, at least in part, and only on a probabilistic basis.

Your response indicates they hit a nerve.

He insulted my ancestors, which includes direct family members, some of which went through a civil war to build my country the way it is, and they are still alive today. I have a right to reply.

If facts insult you, your problem is with the facts.

You don’t get to decide who is free.

Maybe, but that doesn’t change anything I said. You have no right over foreigners to the benefits of living in your society.
