I disagree. Society takes away a lot of basic freedoms when it unilaterally confers 'citizenship' on all babies. It's like a kind of ownership. You lose the right to simply build wherever there is space or resources, even if that area is more or less uninhabited. Lots of bits of paper. We begin life as citizens by having the possibility for self-sufficiency removed, making us utterly dependent. In that scenario, I'd say society owes you a lot, the minimum being to provide an opportunity that at the very least surpasses when you might achieve by way of self-sufficiency and independence from 'society'.
If society hadn't taken away those basic freedoms (that most other species still have, where it doesn't conflict with human priorities), then I might agree with you. But seeing this very clearly as an imposed and enforced insecurity, I think you have to be pretty blinkered to arrive at the idea that society or even another person 'doesn't owe you anything'.
On the contrary, in the current system, we owe each other a duty of care. Otherwise, you really have to wonder what's in it for the plebs.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
