no, "rights" are an enlightenment era fiction created by people who were supposedly interested in empiricism, but never bothered to question whether rights exist.
-
Rights are things that as a society we agree people should be allowed to do. And if they're prevented from doing them, we tell the people preventing them to knock it off.
-
but we don't agree. the government infringes on so-called inalienable rights all the time. often without repercussion.
-
So you agree that you believe in what everyone else calls rights, just that governments aren't perfect. Which nobody said they were.
-
no. I believe they don't exist, and the fact of infringement proves that. they are a fiction, and one that creates barriers to liberty.
-
This is such an idiotic take. They aren't a fiction. Sure, there isn't some sort of magical guarantee you have them, but that doesn't make the term or concept less useful.
-
they are literally made up. there is no empirical evidence of their existence.
-
What in the solipsism am I reading right now. Multiple countries and international groups have things called rights. They exist.
-
do you know how I know that you don't know what solipsism is?
-
it has no mass and no energy. it's a social construct, and it does not serve it's purported function. it's a fiction.
