Human rights only became a thing because a consensus formed regarding their legitimacy.
there are intellectual double spend attacks taking place to try and rewrite that. it's the onus of each person who holds those ideas to be true to defend against it and rebuke those who would see them undermined or stripped.
Authoritarians are making moves everywhere it feels like, and they'll change any established truth in order to see their power realized
I like your metaphor, "intellectual double spend attacks".
We must never lose sight of the core of all human rights, PERSONAL SOVEREIGNTY.
Intellectual freedom is freedom to believe "idiotic ideas" like "religious ideas" like "flat earth" like "climate denial" like "creationism" like "anti vax".
Medical privacy is sacrosanct.
IF we make thoughts into crimes, then we are enslaved even in our dreams.
Maybe the term human rights, but has been there since man has been working together, there was peace in the group, thats a right of nature and right of man.
It's also most logical and most powerful, stronger in a group.
Thats my opinion, understand your viewpoint, for me its a natural thing.
