Saying things like healthcare is a human right sounds nice but how can someone else's labour and capital be your right? Even saying you have the right to safety depends on others providing protection. It doesn't work without force.

Rights should be things that you inherently have without anyone giving you anything, like right to provide your own protection, to freely think and speak, to freely associate with whoever you want without infringement

This is true. I guess we all born without any right.

We are endowed by our creator with unalienable rights.

Life, Liberty, Pursuit of Happiness, Freedom of Speech, Right to Defend Yourself ... etc

An unalieanable right is a right that cannot be taken away, not even by a 100% majority vote. Unalienable rights cannot be legislated away, and they cannot be ruled away by a supreme court. Government institutions cannot add qualifiers to unalienable rights or dilute them.

America is a country of unalienable rights. The Constitution does not grant those rights. The Constitution explicitly tells the government that it cannot, and shall not, infringe on those rights

Negative rights v positive rights

They just don’t understand that the focus should be on lowering the cost for everyone through technological gains on a bitcoin standard

Right to a jury trial seems important. It requires the juror's time, but it's a fair trade imo.

i don’t even think it sounds nice 🤣

Easy

Saying healthcare is not a human right means you believe in controlling other people's Labour and preventing healthcare, which means using government sanctioned violence against health workers and consumers.

what kind of logic lead you to that conclusion?

I mean ā€˜rights’ are a construct but in the face of societal realities I don’t think citizens should have to struggle for basic medical care. Or be indebted just because there’s a need for an expert
