      I mean healthcare is definitely a human right, but there is always more we could be doing. That’s a kind of arbitrary distinction that I don’t think adds anything to the discussion here.

      Basic human needs are basic human rights. I really do think it’s as simple as that.

      Umm, no. That’s just not correct. A human right is anything a human should have the right to. End of.

      The practicalities of how we achieve that are a separate concern.

          you have no rights at all

          Wrong

          Not even to speech, or the right not to be killed

          Wrong

          “Rights” are invented by the society we live in

          Correct

          You have literally none in the natural world

          Correct

          As it exists, “Rights” are a religious idea

          Lol what? Where did you even get that idea?

          Govt. does its best to ensure citizens aren’t murdered, yet it still happens.

          Shouldn’t housing be similarly considered a right like the right to life?
