part of my woke agenda is actually to obsolesce the language of “rights”, as I believe it is a flawed notion. instead, I advocate for equality and freedom.
so you can observe the freedom in same sex marriages, but you can’t observe the right to be in a same sex marriage? I don’t follow, it’s the same thing.
Show me an atom of equality, or a molecule of freedom. They don’t exist in the universe. Just like rights, they are a lie made true by our common belief in them.
The idea of Rights is embedded in society. That embedding has a lot of value. It stops people riding roughshod over them.
I agree with the idea that rights are weird. The history of rights is rooted in law. A right is enforced by a state or similar entity. Freedom can exist outside of institutional power but rights historically require it.
That said, most people who advocate for rights are not much concerned about who will enforce those rights. It’s often used more as a synonym for freedom. As with all social constructs, there is no material reality behind it

Human rights for me, not for thee.
The Woke Mind Virus is just ideas. Nothing is more contagious than a good idea.
I don’t get it; ‘human rights’ are threatening children?
That’s right. The not getting it part. When those sort of things are said in that context and they don’t make any sense, it’s because the person making the claim is doing it in bad faith.
Changing it to human rights allows it to be easily exposed.
That’s part of the rhetoric of the right, no? Protecting the children from the woke agenda.
