On what grounds can anyone say “god” grants us rights? The entity that may be said to grant rights is the one that may protect them or take them away. I don’t see any god doing that. For better or worse, in our world, the closest thing to a “rights-granting”entity is the state.https://twitter.com/RubinReport/status/1357743742564749312 …

It sounds there isn’t much daylight between our positions. Building a new state to protect and uphold their values is in line with my position, as would be the alternation of their old state. 1

Now imagine a group has no opportunity to build a new state, nor to alter their old one. What would come of their “rights”? They would remain largely abstractions in their heads, something they feel they ought to have *but in fact* they do not. 2/2
