No, we didn't, and you should be more careful making convenient assumptions about your interlocutors. If you want to make exceptions because of extreme circumstances that's fine, but that's a far cry from your original "unique individuals" argument. Almost seems evasive TBH. The normal case is that people deserve to live with basic human dignity even if they might have made some poor choices. Does that create a burden for others sometimes? Yup, sure does. It's this little thing we call civilization. And where there's a burden there's always a question of who should bear it. Again, the normal case is that it would be those who are already reaping what their parents helped them sow. This is not some super exotic or recent philosophical idea. If anything, the idea that you don't owe anyone else anything at all no matter what they've done for you or how that plays out when everyone's acting that way is the newcomer, still wanting for evidence that it can lead to anything good. Most often, it's just rationalization for doing what's convenient instead of what's right.
