I'll tell you who says it is a right

the British government, the EU and United nations

(Can we steal some emojis from BA's discord? for real)

I'll put tariffs on foreign emojis

Lol did you just cite the UN?!

rights are stupid

no country even follows them as rights

You wanted to know who says we have universal rights

OY VEY

they are privileges

GOYIM

LMAO

No, I asked for a definition of rights

Right to liberty? Explain prisons
Right to freedom of expression... don't even have to explain how this isn't a right at all

Yes, those are examples of rights

I don't think you understand how rights work

@Fitzydog a right is a thing that is a legal requirement of a person until the government or twitter thinks otherwise

@redd wrongo, buckaroo

@radeon
that's not exactly hard to conclude

Yeah, you go to prison because you fucked yourself to the point where you don't deserve them anymore

explain prison? because those people infringed on the rights of others

@Werlf I agree

People go to jail because they have forfeited their ***legal*** rights by committing a crime.

You literally go below the bare minimum society expects

The same dude who said that it would be right to invade sweden, is now saying that

a right is not a legal requirement @redd

well explain it for the autist, please

it is basically that

freedom to religion is a right. That doesnt legally require you to do it

Freedom of religion is a part of freedom of expression.

A right is something abstract that you are willing to defend.

I didn't say you legally had to use the right to your advantage, but people do it nonetheless

Rights are abstract yes

In the strictest sense, rights are arbitrary and not concrete, but the point of their existence is to set hard borders as to what the state can and cannot legislate on

we can skip the whole 'Where do muh rights come from?" nonsense though. dumb question lol

@radeon that poses a problem - sometimes a religion instructs you to do things that would violate the law (e.g. FGM)

classical liberals base rights on the moral principles of natural law
