Respect shouldn't have to be earned, it should be the default to respect everyone. It is reasonable for trust or admiration to be earned, but not respect.

There are two distinct kinds of respect: for the human being (respect the human rights) and for the person (respect what that person does).

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Agreed. But too often the two are conflated and individuals rights are lost not for what they do, but for what demographic group they are a member of.

Thank you, I agree completly with you.

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

I respect that ;)

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Respect can be revoked though.

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

If you are talking about respect for actions (see above) then yes. Respect for the human being should be constant.

[–] CaptainCodeine@lemm.ee 1 points 13 hours ago

Just to be clear, would you also say this about hitler or similiar people? Just hypothetically, there could be no reason at all that you say you would revoke it?
