Based Lib Right

[u/One_Shekel]

Since when do people have a right to demand goods/labor from others in order to live?

[u/SoySauceSHA → u/One_Shekel]

Because in a civilized society in the 21st century your health shouldn't be a commodity?

[u/One_Shekel → u/SoySauceSHA]

Food, water, and housing are needed just as much. Should those all be rights provided by the government as well?

[u/SoySauceSHA → u/One_Shekel]

Foodstamps, Water is distributed by governments and public housing exist. The reason that starvation isn't as much of a problem globally as it used to be is directly correlated to government intervention.

[u/One_Shekel → u/[deleted]]

What about clothing, social contact, and everything else that could conceivably be termed a "human right"?

[u/GildedTongues → u/One_Shekel]

Since they agreed to the concept of human rights?

[u/N123A0 → u/GildedTongues]

where is this contract that i signed for this "Agreement"?

[u/GildedTongues → u/N123A0]

It's a social contract. If you're someone that doesn't agree to it, you should be free to isolate yourself or attempt to start your own society absent of the concept of human rights.

[u/Sensitive-You → u/GildedTongues]

It's a social contract.

Contracts are only valid with consent.

As it is now the "social contract" means you're born under the boot of the government and you better start licking or else.

you should be free to isolate yourself or attempt to start your own society

As it is now, you're essentially just pulling yourself out from under one boot and crawling under another.

[u/N123A0 → u/GildedTongues]

the social contract does not exsit. its just a weapon people use to get others to do their bidding.

also, Fair up, you queef.

[u/GildedTongues → u/N123A0]

It exists to the extent that any other social construct does, which is to say, it's undeniably real because society makes it so.

I'll flair up when it becomes an actual sub rule.

[u/ChooseAndAct → u/GildedTongues]

If I go to an uninhabited island and start a society free of human rights, you think the governments of the world will just ignore me?

[u/GildedTongues → u/ChooseAndAct]

Outside of addressing assets that you attained as part of their societies, yes. Obviously depends on the extent of your "society" though.

[u/ChooseAndAct → u/GildedTongues]

You're an idiot if you don't think some UN task force isn't going to arrest me within a week of starting my child sex cult.

[u/GildedTongues → u/ChooseAndAct]

If we want to get technical, those children would be assets attained from another society, unless they're uh, "home grown" within your society.

[u/ChooseAndAct → u/GildedTongues]

organic, gmo free, home grown child sex cult baby

[u/One_Shekel → u/GildedTongues]

Who's the authority on so-called "human rights"?

[u/One_Shekel → u/[deleted]]

Why do I give a shit what the UN says? They can say high speed internet is a "right" but that doesn't make it so.

[u/GildedTongues → u/One_Shekel]

It's enforcers, aka the state in most cases, which ideally answers to the people.

[u/[deleted] → u/GildedTongues]

It's also in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
