@calestous Why is that do you think? Is it that rights are abstract and interests more visceral?

@kelly_carlin@calestous Missing the power analysis here - the powerful fight for their interests, whereas the oppressed need their rights. -
@AlexMDBowles Power analysis works both ways.@kelly_carlin -
@calestous@kelly_carlin I'm sorry I don't follow - was trying to say the powerful generally have less need to focus on rights. -
@AlexMDBowles Until their rights are threatened just like anyone's@kelly_carlin -
@calestous@kelly_carlin I'm trying to explain why our system focuses more on interests than rights, not whether everyone should have them. -
@calestous@kelly_carlin And the rights of the powerful aren't threatened "just like anyone's" -
@AlexMDBowles@calestous In the end, aren’t rights just legitimized interests?

Debating this in my head right now. May be working on this one all day. “

My first thought is that this is true until one's rights are about to be lost and then the situation reverses.
