Meh moly
I think that you must have certain rights or you have no rights
For example
A right to a weapon means a right to self defense means a right to life.
rights arent rights if they can just be taken away
@Boop / λΈν / C'thUwU not true
That would be inherent rights
Most rights can be taken away
then they arent rights
theyre privilages
a right is something that cant be taken away
Ever hear of civil rights? Not civil privileges.
the fundamental thing of civil rights is that people are created equal
In a day and age with slavery
Rights not privileges
slaves didnt have rights taken away
they gained them
thats different
Was every person a slave?
How can you gain rights?
If you cannot lose them?
its a good question
i dont have the words to exactly answer that
i still think it is different, maybe to do with natural right vs law given rights
but i cant at the moment formulate the right words so you got me there
Slaves weren't considered people, thus didn't have a person's rights.
But they became people
Did they not?
depends if you still vote for the Dems in 2020
KEK
sorry, derailing
I really don;t see how a right to life could ever be conceived of as inherent. Life is not something you just get by default. You are an organism with very specific requirements... It's just not *accurate* to say you just *have* that right.
Then there are no rights
At all
cool
so we got over that hurdle
^^
think defining what a Right is would be good here
