When was that picture taken? Which offices were they in /running for? (Hint, none, they are out of politics and no longer politicians)
I think they go hand in hand. I'm not talking about a responsibility to have insurance or something, those rights to freedom come with the responsibility to exercise them responsibly. Goes back to that central criticism I make about the libertarian oriented views, what do you do when your rights run into someone else if you don't have the laws and such that the belief system eschews.
Who defines a "responsibility", and at what cost? Prior to emancipation, black people in the US did not have a right for freedom, as they were defined by the Government to lack social responsibility. Is it your assertion that disparities such as that are no longer existing in 2022?

They are always Politicians. Even an ex president is called president.
and a felon will always be called a felon.
OK.

I don’t have any issues living in our society. Can’t manufacture crises fast enough to stay mad? Oh well, not my problem.
I'm not aware of any rights to pollute the planet. Keep in mind that rights must be either inherent or granted. Those which are granted by authority may be taken away just as easily. Perhaps we should just focus on inalienable human rights, which should never be taken away, but sometimes are.Not sure? That seems to be an odd criteria.
What happens in the case of someone having the right to do what they will on their property, but what they want to do is dump waste into the stream that passes through and ruins everything downstream. Don't they have an equal right? You have the right to do what you will, but the responsibility to not be a jackass with it...history has shown people don't exercise that restraint and responsibility in terms of how it impacts others.
*debating changing my mental picture from a time before environmental laws and people exercised their right to dump shit into rivers and they caught on fire to that weird town in NH that got overtaken by bears because libertarians took over and just let their freedoms run wild and fed bears. It's a very funny tale that everyone should check out. Like seasteading stories.
Edit: link to a story about the bears, I recall people from my internet sphere going to both that and seasteading, and it's absolutely hilarious.
The Town That Went Feral
When a group of libertarians set about scrapping their local government, chaos descended. And then the bears moved in.
It's the right to do what you will on your own land, whatever that may be, you have the responsibility to not pollute.
Well, we could start with a few which are outlined by the International Bill of Rights:
Meanwhile war criminals are called "former presidents".
I didn't ask if you did. What crises? Who is mad? Why don't you stay on the topic?
Was no vid in my examples. I said:
Those are all great, but aren't those granted by some authority and not inalienable human rights as you said we should stick with? One could argue that any group putting together a bill of rights is kind of functioning as a governing body.
The concept of inalienable rights comes from the doctrine of natural law, the idea that there is a science of morality.
