Thus it is a privilege.

You have the privilege to bear arms.

No actually read it

The privilege to free speech.

Rights are protected by the government , not given

actually read it ffs

> person may have and which are protected by the government and the courts, or under an agreement
Then when the government stops 'protecting' it?

When the government says that's no longer true?

Then it’s an authoritarian government

A right is a freedom we agree people should have, If people no longer agree that people should have that freedom then it ceases to be a right

Then it’s revolution time

Then it's not a right.

Then it's a privilege.

Good lord.

How is it in anyway authoritarian to grant the people more power over their laws?

Because muh burka of course

Surely it is much more authoritarian to tell the people that the Government has set some laws that can never be changed ever.

Rights make sure people are allowed to do basic things or not have them done to them

In some circumstances mob rule is authoritarian, by your logic the nazi party wasn’t authoritarian because that was voted in.


lol you used the definition of rights, to argue why rights don’t exist

Until the government says they're no longer a thing @Burly Bong

Then your "rights" dissapear

And you realise they were simply privileges.

but they would still be a thing, it's just that the government was authoritarian

There is nothing in the USA stopping the removal of the constitution.

Just because authoritarian governments exist doesn’t mean rights don’t

uh, a gun behind every blade of grass is

Sounds like mob rule

The majority of people want to keep it in place.

The majority want it like that

So they're doing that

Mob rule over human rights isn’t good that’s what I’m arguing

>Mob rule
***Laughs in Electoral College***

Who knew America was mob rule?

Any Democracy is pretty much Mob Rule to some extent

how is republicanism mob rule

The US is slightly different but the idea is the same

The majority of people voted the Nazi party does that mean they didn’t violate hjman rights cause if people want to gas the Jews they should be allowed to

Instead of the majority of people deciding everything the majority of electoral college votes decide everything

We don't care if they violated those rights or not.

We don’t care about the Holocaust?
