    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.

            What in the solipsism am I reading right now. Multiple countries and international groups have things called rights. They exist.

              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.
