Human rights for me, not for thee.
I’m here rallying against the other woke agenda.
How dare people expect me to have less than 12 hours of sleep?! Have they seen my bed? Have they felt it?? Most certainly not!
Eat a brownie and have a nap! The man has no jurisdiction under these comfy covers!!!The sort of person who says “woke agenda” (or almost anything else involving the word “agenda”) is often someone I disagree with and find unpleasant, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t a specific cluster of ideas that he’s referring to which I also often disagree with. I suppose I would refer to these ideas as “the social justice movement” or “modern leftism” rather than “woke”. Simply defining these ideas as “human rights” is disingenuous - you might as well define them as “the truth” if you’re going to simply assume that people who disagree with you cannot possibly even have a point sometimes.
The Woke Mind Virus is just ideas. Nothing is more contagious than a good idea.
Did you know there is a word for that? It’s been bastardized by the internet but that’s a meme by its original definition.
I don’t necessarily have anything against human rights, but which rights, and for whom? Who decides, and then who enforces those rights? Rights are kind of meaningless without enforcement, and for that you need a state. In that regard, the rights that exist and are enforced, and for whom, depends primarily on who controls the state. That’s fine if the people who control the state share your ideas about which rights get priority, but it sucks if you and the state disagree.
What human rights do you disagree with?
I didn’t say that I disagreed with anything, but I wouldn’t consider myself the biggest supporter of gun rights, for an example.
Guns are not a human right.
Well, I think some people would disagree. But, that’s my point. YOU think there are certain human rights that should be enforced, at least for certain people, but in order to do that, you need to be in a position of power to enforce those rights. There are people here in the US where I live that are in positions of power to enforce gun rights, and so gun rights exist.
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.
what do you mean by “threatening children”?
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.
Chat GPT end script malfunctioned? (Duplicate comment lmao)
I’ve done the same unintentionally because my Lemmy client says “post failed” and I hit submit a 2nd time.
