I understand what you are saying, you just are jumbling rights into hopes. I have a inalienable right, I have it as part of my creation, inseparable. I hope the government enforces it. I also hope, if the government fails to enforce, that I will have the courage and fortitude to defend my right. I also hope that I have the wisdom and discipline to defend that right in the manner that best preserves that right for me, and my family/friends/neighbors. Even with all these hopes, the inalienable right exists, all the "hopes" come after.
I disagree with the idea of having a right by existing. It’s just meaningless. If a group of people genocides another group, and no one does anything about it, what good is it to have believed you had a right to not be genocide? I’m not the one who is confused. A right is a concept, and it is alienated from you when someone alienates it from you and nothing is done about it.
if you think rights are relative, you are confused. I do not care what you think is the origin of my rights, and I do not care if you think I must have sufficient "might" to keep said right. I have the right, "just cuz". If this is not simple enough for you, try this. I say you are nothing and have no claim to shit. Has anything changed for you? Yeah, same here.
You can say you have a right all day long, but if the rest of the world decides you don’t, it’s utterly meaningless. Nothing but emotion combined with bloviating. What does your “right” to life mean if Russia nukes you?
This is the "might makes right" argument. It is the argument of tyrants, statists and anarchists. You are saying, only if I am strong enough to defend the right does it exist. This is getting the cart before the horse. There is only one outcome from this point of view, and it is violence, death, and destruction. the end game is brutes like you smacking people who know better in the head with a rock. All tech would be gone from your dumbass. Good thing we have the 2A, We don't have to pretend your simple ass has any say :) Knuckle dragging mouth breather, that's what you are.
