In the final analysis, "rights" just end up being a maskirovka that lulls you into a false sense of security that then allows you to be manipulated more efficiently. As Arthur said, giving citizens the "right" to overthrow the government by force basically ensures that they will never do so. It makes the concept diffuse and abstract and impossible to act on, while the fantasy of acting on it keeps people lulled. The US government is a continent-sized human meat grinder. That's what it is and what it does. If "rights" meant anything, and people had the ability to act on them, the abject Aztec Shamanate known as the "United States of America" would have been overthrown by right-thinking men generations ago.

"Rights" are a weird Anglo-Saxon concept that don't at all make sense (except as a weapon) outside of the very specific context from which they arose. Outside that very specific (and now long gone) context they're basically just a mind virus. To be honest, even in their original context, they're hard to defend.

Guy at the convenience store has hands covered in blood. The cashier asked him what was up, and he said, "ope, sorry, I just killed a bear, eh."
