The concept is not new, 232 years old now, it shouldn't be that strange to you.
The vocation of tyrants is to have their head cut at some point, more or less figuratively.
- chrisseaton 5y agoThis whole thread started with you giving an example of how people don't actually have these rights. So even you know they aren't actually universal or inalienable. 232 years of pretending people have rights that they demonstrably do not have.
- sheepdestroyer 5y agoYou still continue to say that people having their rights violated means they don't exist. That's a demonstrably false and illogical statement. It's because people inherently have rights that they fight for them, and others take their side. Hence events like the French Revolution, the Abolition of slavery, or the Civil Rights Movement.
- chrisseaton 5y ago> You still continue to say that people having their rights violated means they don't exist. Yes. What is the meaning of a right that nobody enforces? It's just an aspiration, a wish, something you'd like to have or other people would like you to have. If nobody's enforcing it, it's not really a right. By definition. > Hence events like the French Revolution, the Abolition of slavery, or the Civil Rights Movement. These were fights to create rights. They didn't have them before.
