The concept of human rights is harmful nonsense.
It's so cool that Albert Einstein attends the same charity club as you
They aren't dumb, just overconfident. They've had 15, arguably even 20 years of cultural dominance that's just now ending and they don't know how to process it all, particularly their most radical members/footsoldiers.
The really sad part is that "human rights" have now become another set of rules for people to game.
Holy shit, I know who I want for Vance's VP.
bait used to be believable :/
It's also a lot of, "I think I should have it, therefore it should be a right." Or intangible desires that are entirely unenforceable.
I hate that term, because whenever morons say that they never mean the blind, deaf or other disabilities. Like that actually matter. Not just totally fine people who are ever so slightly on the spectrum and wish for praise.
All the legal stuff sorts of hits reality the way negative rights do.
Over the last 100 years nearly all of American exceptionalist propaganda was centered on "human rights". It doesn't matter if 100,000 people OD from fent, I'm free to speak my mind about it. This is all despite intel agencies doing all kinds of horrible things to anti-war and other political groups. Human rights are something that's easy to say, "the government won't go after you for what you say" They'll just entrap you, debank you, fire you, ruin your personal life, and if that doesn't work they'll assassinate you. It's much harder for a government to promise a base line life or a chance at a better life. Personally I think we should hold our government to the standard of both. Especially of our intel agencies.
The part where the buildings exploded was pretty exciting.
I check my bank statements at least once a month for fraud. I bet most Zoomers don't even know what a birth certificate is.
The original concept of "human rights" as per the U.S. Constitution was more or less things that the government should not infringe upon, and if they did it was a sign that the citizenry should rise up against them. They're not entitlements in the sense you should be given things for free. It's just what the government can't do, and its responsibilities towards the citizenry.
To be somewhat fair in the historical context, the late 19th and early 20th centuries were a political powderkeg and there were countless movements which saw humanity moving in a progression, and that part of that necessary progression meant the development of governments and societies to make people better. Both left- and right-wing revolutionaries and intellectuals pushed this kind of stuff in the United States and elsewhere.
I've been shocked by how many people have said they don't have a copy of their birth certificate. My mother pounded it into my head as soon as possible to always keep it on hand (edit: by which she meant in a filing cabinet where you live, not on your person obviously) or in a safety deposit box. I also have multiple copies of my marriage license, my SSN card (and have it memorized), and always keep my passport up to date even if I don't intend to travel.
This is exactly who I want working in the government.
Leftists when non communist countries commit human rights atrocities:
Cum swarm in a great band name tbh
The idea that you have a "right" to things that are not intrinsic to your body was a truly perverse inversion of the intent, but is ultimately the end state of Liberal political theory. That's why everyone now has the right to food, too health care, to housing, to this, too that.
