This one goes out to all the ppl with 'terfs/nazis/etc have no rights' and other shit in their bios
You're not clever or woke, you just look like an edgy 13-year old who doesn't understand the implications of what they're saying, or how quickly your own exceptions to it can become someone else's own exceptions
Human rights are inalienable for a reason, it's to protect all people, including you
Also: I see too many people read, 'everyone deserves human rights' but interpret it as, 'i endorse the actions of bigots criminals etc and nobody should be accountable for their bad deeds'. But that's completely wrong!! Just bc someone has human rights (which are important to have), it doesn't make them immune to criticism, or needing to be held accountable for their actions. Having human rights doesn't absolve someone of being taken to task for horrible things they've done, it just means there are certain rights they have as a freakin person. If you're against the idea of every person having human rights solely bc you think it means they can get out of jail free or that they can't be criticized, you gotta unlearn that belief, because it's not true
Unpopular opinion but literally not one person in the world should have their human rights violated
