We may have different definitions of social rights then. Often society can imbue someone with a right that has no obligation on anyone else at all, other than not to violate that right, which I am happy to empower a democratic government to defend.
- readthenotes1 2y ago"other than not to violate that right," we do not have the definitions of social rights then. What we may have, is a different experience with people who will violate other people's "rights" through either inattention or malice. We also have cases where "rights" collide because of cultural differences (e.g., you may feel that you have the right to make fun of my religious figure and I feel that I have the right to decapitate you for doing so)
