Rights Dangling

“Rights Dangling” is a method used by politicians to scare citizens into donating money and voting for them. Politicians from both parties will constantly “fight” over your rights (all for show) instead of focusing on changes that would benefit society. And this is why we hear about abortion and guns on the daily rather than small achievable things like banning certain cancerous foods, increasing pay for teachers, and other things that would improve your life.

Having your rights dangled above you on a daily basis will severely polarize you and put you in a permanent bad mood. However, this bad mood makes you more likely to donate money and rally for a certain side’s cause.

Even though everyone agrees that these certain things are rights that should be limited and left there. Like how guns may not be an issue if assault weapons were banned and the legal age of purchase was, say, raised to an age where people’s brains were fully developed.

But, this method of politicing is a f***big gold mine. Officials don’t actually need to get anything done and can get paid to speak to crowds of angry people while we see zero progress for long periods of time.

And somehow they all get rich in the process?
Vote for me and I’ll protect your right to abortion!
Perosn: “damnn our congresswoman is constantly Rights Dangling… I swear to god I haven’t seen her do anything that’s made a change in like 10 years… but Pete’s mom keeps donating to her?”

Senator whatshisface is coming after your right to bear arms! Vote for me and donate to the cause today and I’ll make sure no one lays a hand on your teen’s AK style assault weapon! :D

Person: They just be rights dangling. If they could focus on a compromising solution that kept everyone safe, maybe I wouldn’t have to hear or read the words “guns” and “12 dead children” like very other freaking day.

Animal Rights

The philosophy according to which many or all sentient animals have moral worth independent of their utility to humans, and that their most basic interests—such as avoiding suffering—should be afforded the same consideration as similar interests of human beings.
Everyone thinks Animal Rights means you can't have animals in your house. That's not true, it simply means we treat our animal companions like family more, we just don't exploit them for money.

reproductive rights

something the church, old men, pervs and brainwashed women are triflin’ with.
reproductive rights in the bible
means a man can fuck three women and it’s alright and incest is alright and a whole bunch of other perverted things like rape but we won’t talk about that today— just make sure those women get pregnant because I am a man and I want to cheat on my wife and fuck as many young girls as I want and not wear a condom!

Extraterritorial Rights

A funny phrase from Ace Attorney Investigations, originating from the final boss's repeated use of his special rights as an ambassador to do whatever the fuck he wants (even commit murder...twice) and face no repercussions.
"We have irrefutable evidence that you committed two murders and are the head of a smuggling ring!"

Trans Rights

A statement that people say because they think there's a human right they don't have.
"Trans Rights are human rights!"

"What right don't you have? The right to groom children?"
