That's only a dialogue you can have in a world in which things aren't considered right or wrong based on empty notions of rights and private property. A social movement is required

You can't have a right that violates other rights, whether it's pollution or slavery. Deliberate misunderstandings to the contrary are not an argument against rights

The concept of 'other' is arbitrary and what rights are at bottom is arbitrary because nothing enforces them. Rights are made up bullshit

The 'right' is in practice a legal thing. It doesn't matter what it is in the abstract

You could code a robot to protect rights and give it guns. Or non lethal weapons if you're stingy

And that robot would be defending the conception of rights as conceived by the programmer
