@skeletor Not what I see Skeletor saying, but I can vibe with that message.
@skeletor jokes on you skeletor, i dont even care about my own rights
@skeletor Unfortunately this is not true, if you are part of certain groups whose rights are never taken away. (e.g. rich white heterosexual christian cis men in the western world)
@OrntLaOkro@hessen.social @skeletor@mas.to then those aren't rights.
They're rather privileges.
@OrntLaOkro @cubet look the meme means if you choose to ignore or suppress or remove the rights of anyone, then you are just showing it can be done. And it will be done to you, eventually, as well. So stop fucking around with other people’s rights, if not because you aren’t a massive asshole, then because you like the rights you have.
@OrntLaOkro @skeletor no-one is perfectly norm-abiding by all dimensions. and fascist states aren’t exactly great for the people who they supposedly represent either
@OrntLaOkro @skeletor Even Al Capone eventually lost the rights to file his tax returns without needing to disclose his income from criminal activities.
I've met too many libertarians who are like this. "Nothing matters to me more than my rights. Nothing matters to me less than your rights."
@skeletor
The nemouer dude said it first but you said it more succinctly.
Martin Niemöller, I had to look it up.

@skeletor EXACTLY THAT!
@skeletor@mas.to I might be stupid I don't understand this
@skeletor@mas.to
Perhaps more wisdom than in, "those who would give up essential liberties, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
