Some guys I know simply think that there should be no predetermined list of rights you are entitled to upon birth, but instead you should only have a right to things that you have earned by yourself. They think most people are weaker and more lazy than them, so they deserve more and should be able to take things from those weaker people without external intervention or regulation.
The fact that for most things they have in life they did not have to fight, or that those things were simply not taken from them thanks to various public safeguards, is entirely lost on them.

It pisses me off so much.
That’s basically the right wing worldview in a nutshell. “Might makes right. Hierarchy instead of equality. Fuck you, I’ve got mine.”
