Comment on By letting the capitalistic class write the laws we let them dictate the morality of the country.

Social constructs that operate without the approval of the membership seem to be bad constructs that should probably not be built that way.

It’s really the exception for any aspect of reality to be operating with the approval of everyone affected. Things being socially constructed doesn’t mean they are less real, or that they are somehow easier to change. After all, “convincing people that they should think differently about some social construct” is just a clumsy definition of politics.
