 rights aren’t given, they’re taken.

bitcoin and nostr help you take and defend them, peacefully. 
 🫂 
 Peacefully fight for what's right. 
 yes 
 Yeah, but my monkey brain yearns for the fight.

 doubt that peacefully part. once they find out they will bring the violence, prosecution and other things govs usually do 
 What are rights and where do they come from? 
 Rights are obligations on others. They come from two beings each recognizing the other as a subject, or end, in themselves rather than just an object  
 By that definition you can’t “take them” since you need both parties to recognize or even agree on these supposed obligations

Also, where do they come from? 
 No, you can't take them, you can only enforce them or violate them

"They" are really only one: property 

Again, the right of property comes from the nature of man in the universe and the nature of interactions between persons 
 Bingo

Not quite, but a lot of them boil down to that 

That’s just roundabout way of saying rights come from God, but sure. Anything else is by definition subjective and a matter of opinion. 
 I'm an atheist, but if God works for you, fine.

I would call ethics "intersubjective" ... that is, between two subjects

 “A right is the social extension of a natural power. The words ‘natural’ and ‘power’ need to be understood in the traditional, that is, the teleological sense.”

I suggest checking out the quoted book “The Politics of the Real” by DC Schindler. An incredible book that covers this topic. 
 I'm working on Brainbow for that reason. 

With Bitcoin Brainbow (https://brainbow.space/) — a better brainwallet — you can securely take your bitcoin anywhere. 
 Because if you don't take your rights, someone else will. 🫡 
 Compliance is the only way to make NGU tech go to new heights. It is essential.  
 I'd make one adjustment. 

One cannot take rights either. They can only be violated.

You still have your rights even if an aggressor chooses to violate them.

This is why one is justified in defending them.

 They can if you are a female. 
 If they can take your rights they aren’t rights 
 I don’t have the right to make choices in my state. I did last year. 
 “Make choices” is the most pathetic euphemism for infanticide I’ve ever heard and I’m sorry you and other women have been brainwashed to think that the ability to murder your children needs to be a critical piece of your identities. 

In any case, if you want to defend this “right” go ahead and order abortion pills. You don’t need a doctor, you don’t need anesthesia. Kill that baby and squeeze it out into the toilet. Bury it in the backyard. Defend your “right”! You don’t need to get State permission to do this, you can just do it. 

So what is it you do need State permission for? Enlisting another person to perform the murder for you while you sleep so you don’t experience the horror of murdering your own child, and to harvest the fetal tissue and stem cells for a ton of uses. 

You’ve been psyoped into believing that infanticide is a core “freedom” you must always complain about, because globalists wanted to slow the birth rate and harvest human tissue. Period. Globalists instituted nationwide abortion with a suspicious anonymous Supreme Court case (so they could slow the US birth rate) and then took it away in the same fashion (because it was too effective). 

And in any case, when you take away the life of your baby so you don’t have to make changes in your own life, you are literally performing child sacrifice. You are sacrificing the child for your own benefit. 

If infanticide is a something that God and nature gives, go take an abortion pill and exercise that right. If it’s something that nine High Priests in robes can give and take away, maybe it’s not a right at all, it’s a State-sponsored privilege. 

Also, lastly on “making choices” you have the right to choose who you have sex with, maybe that’s the one you should be defending more aggressively if you don’t want to be pregnant. 
 Ewwwwwwwwwwwww 
 I agree with you, everything I just said is gross. But is it what I’m saying that is repulsive or is the actual act I am discussing (killing one’s own child)? 
 There is a difference between being ProChoice vs ProAbortion. Women should have autonomy over their bodies. 
 Mute that fool. He can go sit on a Lego. 
 I did. If you can’t be intelligent I won’t engage 
 We may disagree but you’re deluding yourself if you think my views are rooted in a lack of intelligence. 
 They do. It’s the bodies of their children that are in question. 

If women could simply evict unborn children from their wombs without killing them, we wouldn’t even be having this discussion. But they can’t, this is the real world, actions have consequences, words have meaning, there is right and wrong, and killing your own children is so obviously wrong that it’s hard to take any argument for legalizing it seriously. 

The desire to separate actions from consequences is folly. And the renaming of unpleasant truths with trite euphemisms is pure cope. 
 Nah dude. This ain’t it and you should change your name to mrdickworld since you’re a dick and are not funny unfortunately. 
 Let’s recap:

Me: “I think you should, of your own choice and whenever you want to and with whomever you want to, have children, if you want, and then I think you should take care of them and help them grow instead of killing them. And I just don’t think it should be legal for people to help you kill them. ”

You: “ewww you’re a dick” 
 Rights are God given. A healthy/proper government is there to defend them, but in reality it’s up to the individual to exert them and technology plays a big role— make “shall not” infringe into *cannot* infringe. 
 💯 
 It only had value if you sell it for fiat. 
 privacy isn’t gained, it’s lost.

nostr can help you retain it. 
 You’re so hot 🥵  
 Been watching fallout ? 😉 
 I binged it this week. I enjoyed it. 
 There’s a scene I can’t remember now that talks about taking power back. It felt somewhat powerful and memorable and Jack’s note reminded me of it.

 Anything genuinely recognised as a right can’t be either given of taken, only asserted or denied… 
 Like banning free speech on Twitter i.e Trump.

💯 

Laws don't grant you rights, God does. Laws are there to prevent government, and others, from infringing on your rights. 
 💯 
 Fk yeah! 💪🏽 
 Bitcoin and Nostr are tools that can be used to support this fight for individual rights by promoting financial sovereignty and censorship-resistant communication.

 rights are neither. 

rights are established natural law. 

i do not have much comment on the protocols as a factor for defending them.

 Agreed. Rights are a legal human construct. Bitcoin and Nostr are the most "natural" and "unrestricted" way humans can interact in todays modern society. 
 rights are given by a creator believe it or not  
 Peacefully for now 👀 
 ❤️ 
 So it is 
 Can confirm, is true 😅

 Agreed 😉 
Pv 🤙  
 ??? & why then some of the basic rights of only some of us becomes battleground for many others' profiteering? It is not a level field w disproportionate leverages for pawns of the system & nepotists etc & equity is the joke doing the heavy lifting. I find that these kind of one-liners serve to justify a sick & corrupt system to continue churn value from the ostracized, stigmatized, oppressed & marginalized. But hell yeah, system must look sane & healthy enough to invite & crush more souls.  
 this is so hard for most to understand. It makes no sense that a government could grant a right to another individual. Yet here we are.... 
 Power change can't happen peacefully. 
You pay price with blood, sweat, and mental stress.

I respect every bitcoin hodler and nostr believer who is paying the price for the next generation.  
 Rights arent given or taken. They are rights. The only question is: Are you a lil bitch or not? If not then rights are endemic. come try take some and see what i mean. 
 I will defend my right by what ever means necessary peaceful if allowed and violent if required.  
 💯 The force of technological revolution and resistance is imperceptible, peaceful and unstoppable.

 Acting like a peaceful pussy must make you feel noble, or some such shit.  I’d say you’re more of a pacifist, especially when you know your fellow citizens are being tortured by your government.  The least gen X punk of anything I can imagine.

 Rights are inherent at birth. Those in power will take away the ones inconvenient for their plans and tell you it’s for your own good.  
 Sure Jack 😊 
 same goes for power. 
 Yes

 I'm here for the freedom 💯🫡 
 The only rights you have are those you can assert.  
 i really wanna repost this but its got one of my muted words in it 
 If instead of "rights" we talk about "needs" we shift the discussion from being philosophical to one grounded by biology and neuroscience. Human rights map human needs, and when discusses in the biological framework it become undeniable that we must provide them so that we flourish.  
 
Scams cannot help anyone take and defend rights 

Cc @Snowden 
 yes

bitcoin and nostr to take and defend women’s rights 
 I might disagree with part 1 of the statement. We are born free, it is inherent right. It is given to every single creature "by default". 

But neither bitcoin, nor nostr will help me defend them. Because some utxo or stxo in a virtual world won't change a thing. Nostr is full of retards, just like Twitter. ;) 
 Well in most cases you are being born into a slave houshold (your parents) who work for the plantation (USGov). You are programed to be the next generation slave and when you hit that proper age the owner cashes in through all sorts of taxes and taxes on top of taxes. As a US citizen you are never free from the Owner!  
 I’m taking so fucking much rights these days.

 Couldn’t agree more. Bitcoin is the new self defense weapon of the 21st century 
 Hermoso! 
 Rights are given by our Creator, but they require eternal vigilance and defense. 
 Right, and "taken peacefully" is an oxymoron . Rights are bestowed, but they are not necessary respected. Respect can be earned, peacefully or otherwise. 
 Taken and protected.

 Then why would mothers be on bistro back rooming with likes of my nigger @Snowden here, back from Russia kicking it with putain.

People still don’t have any rights during these lawless nigger riots.
