lol saying"putting words in my mouth"

and then saying a bunch of stuff I never said.

but basically

yeah

if an individual can't assert "rights" themselves

and everyone else agrees they don't have them,

sucks to be you.

in that situation,

in what sense do they have those "rights" except as imagination?

where do those rights exist?

how would they be guaranteed ?

(except through violence by a 3rd party, which is the usual way of doing it)

If an individual can't assert rights and everyone disagrees it's a right, then does the right not exist. Seems you are arguing it doesn't exist.

Flip side: If someone asserts and takes their "right" no matter how egregious, you would argue that the right exists.

What kind of morality is that which changes with the ebbs and flows of the zeitgeist?

If everyone says an imaginary thing isn't real

and I think it is, but I can't demonstrate its reality

in what way does it exist?

except as my imagination 🤨

If I felt really strongly about it,

I'd move somewhere I could demonstrate that "right" without being antagonized.
