Yea, when choosing a fictional world to aspire for, it's useful to consider how most citizens are treated.

Our current world is great too, for some.

    Anon is probably the kind of person who also thinks Sparta was great, and just disregards that 90% of the population there were slaves.

    seems more likely, being it's 4chan; that they're 100% aware and in-favor of the slaves, just that they believe they'll always be in that lucky 10%. Same goes for idolizing Super Earth -- it's never them that'll be sent to a freedom camp, until it happens, it's always something that happens to someone else who "probably deserved it"

    let's use the veil of ignorance for this one - when choosing a model society to aspire for pretend you have no idea where you'll be placed in it. maybe 80% is doing decently, 5% is doing well, and 15% is doing really bad, are you ready to potentially become a part of the 15%? if not, let's find a different model
