    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Systemic domination harms people through impersonal structures precisely because victims lack direct relationship to specific agents.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Restricting 'rights violations' to agent-specific cases excludes exploitation built into institutions, which remains morally actionable.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Rights can guide action at collective/institutional level without identifying single agents—regulatory reform addresses structural wrongs.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Extending domination claims to indirect targets conflates structural inequality with actionable wrongs, weakening moral accountability.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Action-guiding norms need agent-specific targets; diffuse harms across populations risk becoming abstract grievances without clear remedies.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
