Much like the egalitarian individualism of other western cultures, the idea applies to “our culture” not “the entire world”. This system falls apart otherwise because bad faith participants can easily exploit it. And I’ll add, your argument omitting that key point is one of the common ways people exploit it.
The Declaration of Rights of Man and of the Citizen was unusual at the time specifically because it was _universalist_; it was _not_ just about French people.
Now, granted, they didn't get around to banning slavery until five years after, so, y'know, this was always more an ideal than anything else.
Who else is doing it doesn't change the matter. Charging your guests more then your own? You don't think the morally correct thing is to charge them the same?
name one. I have traveled a lot and can’t say I can name one place where this is a thing. the closest I’ve seen is like tollroads that have different payments methods for residents vs non-residents :)
My travels through India frequently charged a much lower price for Indian citizens/residents, vs tourists with foreign passports for tickets to museums/temples/etc. The fee to foreigners was not exorbitant when compared my salary back home but would have been unaffordable to someone earning a local Indian salary.
yea, if you are coming from a sketchy area we may have to do a bit more research to allow you in. if louvre’s admissions are based on running background checks perhaps I’d go along with it :)
