70 sats \ 3 replies \ @ch0k1 3 Apr \ on: Is "the right to self defense" a human right? security
Ofc it's a positive right - if we talk about defence
Why do you say that? What outside force is required to secure the right? Do you consider speech a positive right as well?

Why do you say that?
Because that's my opinion! If you want me to explain myself why think that way - because basically self defence is a right of the last resort to protect yourself physically from a third party extinction threat!
What outside force is required to secure the right?
I'm not sure whether I understand the meaning of your question, can you please elaborate?
Do you consider speech a positive right as well?
Yes I do, it's the basic or de facto right that everyone should be freely able to exercise by default

Gotcha. The reason I asked is because you have the polarity reversed to what I've typically heard. FWIW we are on the same page but you are calling it positive instead of negative.
