    When two humans can’t come to an agreement about fundamental human rights, the only option left is violence.

      The problem with human rights is that they function as the justification for State violence. “We’re arresting you to protect property rights”. “We’re invading you to free your people from oppression”. I can’t think of a modern conflict that doesn’t have a “human rights” casus belli.

      Even your comment follows the form: I can suspend human rights to protect human rights.
