“The first principle of the Declaration is equality, which means no one is by nature the ruler of another.”
Well that’s that guy’s interpretation of “created equal”, but it’s equally idiotic.
Are you telling me that a powerful person “by nature” doesn’t become the ruler of a weakling left to their nature and as the result of their respective nature?
The last place you want to appeal for equality is nature, which is the epitome of “might makes right”.
This romantic notion of “natural law” is nothing but wishful thinking - a Disney world view of reality. “Natural law” in reality is the law of the jungle.
