    This Mike Enoch quote (excerpted from Thomas Main’s “The Rise of the Alt-Right”) demonstrates the logical outcome of *not* believing our rights are endowed by our Creator. Stay tuned for my podcast with Main...pic.twitter.com/UcKByTLznK

        One can believe that rights are socially constructed and also believe that the state has a duty to provide equal rights. The former is a statement of fact, the latter of value. The latter does not follow from the former.

        If the state grants the "rights" then the state can take them away... they aren't "inalienable."

        Replying to @mattklewis

        As a factual matter, states around the world can - and do - deprive people of their "inalienable" rights! As a question of value - they shouldn't! It's Enoch's corrupted *value* system that leads to his inegalitarian conclusion - NOT his factual premise.

        This thread is nonsense. The only way to fully believe in any unconditional right and wrong, we must believe in a value-giver, a creator of such values. You can't have it both ways.

        Not really. You just have to believe that your rights are permanent and transcendent and NOT granted by the state.

        Believing your rights come from the state gives them too much power to take it away.

        What Jefferson was saying was, Hey! You know, we left this England place 'cause it was bogus; so if we don't get some cool rules ourselves - pronto - we'll just be bogus too! - Jeff Spicoli

        And this is the fundamental disconnect between conservatives and the alt-right, yet people constantly lump them together

        Inegalitarianism doesn't follow logically from lack of faith. Which Creator are you talking about? And why do you think rights are endowed by her?

        Because famously everyone who believed in a creator have always insisted the creator bestowed equal rights on everyone. Isn't history full of devout believers insisting God favoured their group? Even to the point of allowing them to enslave others?
