Maybe I'm splitting hairs, but your right to dignity is a violation of my right to free expression, specifically I cannot just call you things.
I could probably come up with a situation for each right that feels absolute.
- afiori 5y agoThe right to freedom of expression is actually about protected expressions as an extreme example artistic torture is not a protected form of expression. I am also reclutant to include it as a human right, the corresponding human right would be "freedom not to be compelled to express" eg freedom not to be forced to profess beliefs you do not want to profess. Personally I do not believe that screaming at people and relentlessly insulting them is a human right, nor that doing so is necessarily a damage to their dignity so I do not see a contraddiction.
