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 / 브파 / 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

Equal?

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

This is Thomas Paine type shit.
