It’s this simple: If you believe no one has a right to healthcare or whatever progressive slogan, you should believe no one has a right to property or whatever libertarian slogan. The claim that no one has a right to one thing is a claim against the concept of natural rights, and if you only criticize natural rights when you disagree with them you’re a hypocrite and generally clueless.

The thing about natural rights is that they’re not always bad ideas themselves—I believe people do deserve access to healthcare, food, water, shelter, etc. But do I think this is by nature? No. It’s a series of rights determined by humans. This is such a simple concept, I’m begging libertarians to read

What’s happening here isn’t that libertarians don’t know how to read but that you’re abusing and missusing centuries old established philosophical principles and definitions with complete ignorance apparent to anyone who has read the literature with respect to the topic.

OP is baffling. If we reject the idea of positive rights, we must also reject the idea of negative rights? What fucking sense does that make? That’s like saying “if you’re anti-war you should be anti-peace as well or you’re a hypocrite”

“The claim that no one has a right to one thing is a claim against the concept of natural rights”

???? How ????

What they’re saying is that the common argument against a right to healthcare (“Actually you aren’t entitled to anything”) denies a natural right to *anything*, including property. If you don’t believe in a right to X but you believe in a right to Y, the burden of proof is on you to show how nature endows you with one and not the other.

when people use “you messed with the wrong fandom” as a threat

It’s funnier because we all know there’s only one fandom that does that but if we mention it specifically, they’ll do just that. xD

we better keep this like SUPER LOCKED down we don’t know WHO could react to this one, EH? EH?

This is equivalent to a news station cutting to a technical maintenance screen just before someone dies

whenever a young kid joins our staff at work im just like huh. guess im a father now.

these kids will be like “can you drive me home? i don’t have gas money but-” and im already pullin out my keys and am like. sweetheart, you are a child. i am not charging a child gas money.

i literally almost lunged across the counter to throw hands with some old hag who yelled at and insulted one of our 16 y/o girls but instead i threw her sandwich at her and told her to never fucking come back

old dudes will flirt with our young girls too and i’ll be like ay man this is a truck stop, normal customer service rules dont apply here. i can and will call the cops on you.

im the only manager that actively tells them to steal food because these are teenagers and they are HUNGRY

You are the only valid manager

this is kind of hilarious to me because this made it seem like OP was at least mid to late 20s but they’re 19

this post somehow got even better
