Just for existing? Nope sorry. You wanna work hard for respect then sure, earn it then you should get it
respect is a birthright. its about love for everyone.

saying its earned just reinforces the power structure.

when people arent respected it leads to dehumanization.

we dont want to just focus on teh individual

lets say an iranian life = american life = israeli life = chinese life

we are all equal. some animals are not more equal than others.
And it's up to the leadership in those countries to develop their economies so that their citizens can enjoy better lives. The Iranian government has squandered billions trying to attack Israel when their own economy is very weak. You want equality? It's a matter of priorities.

You just reinforced the power structure of your own and you dehumanize someone by calling them “demonic predators”. You’re literally doing what you say you don’t like lol

You just called them greedy demonic predators lol. It’s not respect and they don’t deserve it. I don’t have a problem with it.
their behavior is greedy, demonic, and predatory. they should not be dehumanized. its wrong to call cops pigs. i used to do it. but thats dehumanizing. cornel west calls trump a gangster

israel attacked because they did it first
iran defended because they responded.

thats not the same thing as america and russia directly attacking each other vs being in a proxy war.
We're talking about Iran. You try to make it sound like Israel is the aggressor. Iran could've decided to live in peace and focus on making its economy better. It chose to pour everything into ultimately destroying Israel.

Show us the countries around Israel that Israel is attacking? Egypt? Syria? Jordan? Lebanon? Can you tell us where the battles have been? You said all the time. Been quite awhile since Israel has been in a war with its neighbors and they attacked Israel.

ppl all deserve love and respect but when can criticize their behavior as "lazy slackers" or "demonic" or "predatory"

love thy neighbour.
Oh, so you get to choose who to call demonic or predatory but no one else can. Got it! What you're essentially saying is that "slackers" deserve to have nice homes, cars, lots of leisure time, because they exist, not because they earned those things. That working hard to have nice things is evil. Not fair. So you'd take from the rich to give to the poor until everyone is equal. Only what you'll end up with is almost everyone being poor.
