In what mindset would you talk like this?
I suspect it's an obviously evil one.

@Roundandroundwego well thats your asumption.
Its easy to say everyone is equal but we dont actually put that into practice when we look at the big picture.
Not everyone views themselves as equal either.
To say everyone has value, how is that value measured?
Is a loving father of high class the same as a serial rapist with multiple convictions?
Why is it ok if some people are killed and not others?
There are people who were once successful at life but now homeless and ignored by others.
What about people who are depressed and dont see themselves as valuable?
Perhaps the value of another person is determines by our association to them? We value our children because we created them and they are the spawn of the next era. Theyre apart of ourselves.
We value our friends because we recieve external validation from them.
But the other people in the background, the people you pass on the street, the cashier you bought an item from, the guy who cut you off in traffic, who are they? What is their value to you?
I think the value of others is a personal bias based on the relation we have to them as an individual ourselves.
The opinion on those we have not met could also be influenced by other factors such as the media.
Some people claim freedom for everyone until they have to give something of thier own to people they dont know. So do they truly believe in equal value?

@GuyWithOpinions younger talent is the best and we see it trafficked to the rich. But entitlements would totally interfere with that!
