    So you agree that you believe in what everyone else calls rights, just that governments aren’t perfect. Which nobody said they were.

      no. I believe they don’t exist, and the fact of infringement proves that. they are a fiction, and one that creates barriers to liberty.

        This is such an idiotic take. They aren’t a fiction. Sure, there isn’t some sort of magical guarantee you have them, but that doesn’t make the term or concept less useful.

          they are literally made up. there is no empirical evidence of their existence.

            What in the solipsism am I reading right now. Multiple countries and international groups have things called rights. They exist.

              it has no mass and no energy. it’s a social construct, and it does not serve it’s purported function. it’s a fiction.
