Jan. 15, 2024: "rights of man? liberty, equality, fraternity?" -…

- - - - don't change things that are doing okay as it is
      - still hang on to traditions
        
        it would break society if traditions are broken and put away
    - - pg. 202
      - a revolution can mean the future implication of another revolution happening, then another, then another, etc.
        
        plots, assassinations, breaking of social order....
        
        conclusion: civilization will deteriorate
        
        learning of mankind and societies will be gone to waste by the very ppl who make up the societies
    - - says that britain believes that liberty and rights are natural (a part of following nature)
        
        following nature
      - believes that "real" rights is practiced in britain; and "real" rights aren't practiced by france
      - "all men have equal rights, but not to equal things" (pg. 199)
        
        for example, one person who has 5 shillings, does not have the same dividends as someone who has 500 pounds; though they have equal rights to possess something
        
        the more you invest, the larger dividend you have
        
        political power is relative to your position in society
        
        "civil social" man
        
        "state is like a joint stock company"
  - - - writing his comments on the french revolution
  - - - makes you use your imagination to produce/understand what he might mean
- - - - sold in both america and england
  - - - how governments and societies are run by each of the thoughts and decisions of each generation
    - - one of major complaints of burke: he's using rhetoric and metaphors to paint pictures, like theatre
        
        very theatrical, and not strongly relating to the real world happenings
- - - - as well as events going on, like revolutions
  - - - had the idea that every person had "innate" human rights that can't be taken from you
  - - - specifically for men; no mention of women
      - funny ppl talk about freedom and rights when the society and economy is run with slaves working for "higher class"
    - - september massacres (1792)
