    Really just shows what George Carlin said for a long time, there’s no such thing as “rights”. They’re temporary privileges that can be revoked whenever convenient.

      That’s a dumb take. Rights are intrinsic to all people, they can’t be taken away, even if they are violated. Everybody experiences various levels of human rights violations, but nobody has fewer rights because of the crimes commited against them.
