Why call them "Human Rights" if they don't apply to all humans?
Why call them "Human Rights" if they don't apply to all humans?
To dehumanize a group for their values is to grant the police, military, and courts tacit permission; to deprive a portion of the population The Human Right to their own Life and Effort.
Every concept contains the narrative-identity of how to treat an individual based on their label, the dehumanization of people through the demonization of identity-values is an attempt at a death sentence.
Each word carries a theory of identity:
Each word carries a theory of identity:
"Faggots" vs. "Homosexual" vs. "Bakla" vs. "Human"
"The Chosen People" vs. "Jews" vs. "Untermenschen" vs. "Human"
"Experience Seeker" vs. "Drug Addicts" vs. "Cockroaches" vs. "Human"
It is we, the citizens, who allowed emotional narratives to demonize our beliefs about People—for their values. It is this allowance that opened the door for the police to kill and rob human beings while the courts sat back and quietly judged no justice necessary.
This is Fucked Up.
This is Fucked Up.
To value human life, but not human rights is a contradiction.
Who is meant to keep the police and courts in check? You are. You should not be docile when an animal of your own species has been picked out of the herd and slaughtered because they ate the "wrong" grass. It could have very-well been you.
Don't think so? You may want to reconsider being labeled as a property owner, or a business owner, or an advocate. Perhaps you were born with a label you cannot change, like your gender or race. Valuing anything is a risk because all labels can become pejoratives that make you vulnerable to segmentation. Imagine if one of your values became unpopular during a violent administration.
We live in the freest era in history, yet we are woefully unaware of the dehumanization already in place: The chains and bait being used to turn us into domesticated animals are red tape and ignorance. To reassert our Human Right to freedom we must repeal bureaucratic laws and value abstract ideas.

We entrust the government to preserve human rights; the government is our collectively contained violence. We trust it to use this force only against those who would harm us—violent people, which includes fraudsters, thieves, and other dangerous nations.
And it does use its power of compulsion to do just that—until it doesn't. It begins using that force against its disarmed citizens. First by robbing them en masse through expense-adding taxes, baiting us with vote-buying projects that we would build ourselves if not for the red tape. Later, it makes bloody purchase of our votes by violently attacking and killing the very people it has promised to protect.
I think human rights are more precarious than we realize. Our narratives are missing the connection between the source of red tape and the restricting nature of laws. Simply knowing how it works is only half the battle. This topic needs more attention and effort; extra-judicial killings and martial law are strong evidence that we have a serious problem.

When gossiping about others we cannot help to label and categorise, but try to be conscious of the labels you use, because words and thoughts become actions and environment. Let's remind ourselves to start with what we have in common, rather than what divides us.
