RE: Secession should be considered a human right. Where is the social contract these people signed?

in #individualism7 years ago

If any individual argues in favour of a 'constitution' rather than the living, breathing preferences of human beings then they no longer warrant attention, and this is why Catalans can and should reject the consideration of the Spanish and pursue independence in their own way according to their own preferences.

Sort:  

In terms of actual law, I favor contracts over preferences, but these people were all born into slavery anyhow and that's what Spain wants to perpetuate. Not that I think the Catalans really want full individual independence or have even heard of contractual law, but at least they are moving in the right direction.

A contract is only worth as much as the integrity of the person who signs it. It's all well and good having a contractual basis on which to do this and that but if you're making contracts with untrustworthy people, you only have yourself to blame when they consistently break them.
