social rights

Description

Social rights are the act of clamoring for one’s own guarantees while imposing burdens on others. Like a charity gala hosting an invitation that dips into a donation box called taxes. The list enumerated in charters and treaties easily turns to scrap in the harsh light of budget allocations and political bargaining. The more one dons the mantle of justice, the more one paradoxically nurtures the breeding ground of inequality. And in asserting rights, one weaves an ironic circuit that restricts the freedom of others, a social mirror.

Definitions

• A legal beggar’s plea to state and society shouting ‘Give me something too.’
• Term for public services, yet actual provision hinges on politicians’ performances in a tragicomedy.
• Ornamental phrase that shines more on podiums than in courtrooms, etched in constitutions.
• Self-imposed masochism where ‘rights’ are granted even to those who shirk responsibilities.
• Ghost of fiscal allocation, disappearing into thin air via budgetary sorcery.
• Alchemy of sharing, actually a device that fractures social burdens.
• Mysterious system where the judiciary sworn to uphold rights ultimately fails to guarantee them.
• Social tribunal that selects aid targets while proclaiming to rescue the weak.
• Merciless regime swayed not by equality’s call but by whoever yells the loudest.
• A black joke of governance mocking the gap between ideals and reality.
