A marginalized group does not receive human rights, they are stripped of them. The removal of your birthrights should be violently opposed as soon as possible.

Ok but there must have been a time where people lived in peace. Then the farmers made the concept of money in the world. The word natural is extremely misleading.
People lived in peace with other people much of the time, but we never lived in peace with nature itself. Drought, flood, fire, predators, disease, infection, and many many other natural threats to our human rights have always existed. Furthermore, natural scarcity meant that even other people could become a threat - people from a different gens/tribe could decide that it’s better if the other gens/tribe dies than if everyone eats a little less to make the food last longer. Nature was humanity’s first enemy, before we divided up into class society and started to war with each other.
I will say “natural” is misleading, because humans are natural too. That’s why I said in order for “natural” to mean anything at all then it must be distinct from human choices. If we include humans into nature, then natural rights don’t mean anything because everything is natural including human oppression.
oppression people is an action(a thought such as making the other village the enemy put into action) while not oppressing people is nothing(natural).
So a bear choosing to eat me isn’t natural?
If we say “okay, bears are natural so anything they choose to do is natural” then you have a problem because humans are natural too.
That’s why I made the distinction between humans and nature. Everything humans do is unnatural, including when we choose to do nothing at all.
No? i don’t think with words in my head if I should oppress a certain type of people? I just naturally dont do it
Okay, if someone calls me a slur and tells me to kill myself, I definitely have to choose to not take away their right to free speech.
why would someone do that. whats the motivation?
Why does that matter?
honestly i dont know why you even said that yourself but whatever
We are confusing the word nature because of “human nature” and nature such as the world outside the head.
What do you mean by choosing. Thats sounds like a choice? something that can be debated in the head with words?
Yes, anything that can be debated internally with words or even with feelings.
The only human behavior I think that can be called natural is truly thoughtless or automatic action. Natural breathing is when you breathe without thinking about it, unnatural breathing is when you become conscious of your own breath and start thinking about it. And it really does feel unnatural! I’m sure you’re manually breathing now too, and I’m sure you’d agree it’s quite different from natural breathing.
OK but what is this motivation that changes that?
It’s you who did this to me but that “control” came from outside my head is not powerful enough for me to oppress others. my motivation to oppress others would come from food/money
I don’t think motivation matters. You can oppress others thoughtlessly by complete accident.
what does that have to do with removing the rights of a certain type of people. What you said sounds like just one person oppressing one person
Animal intelligence and its products and human intelligence and its products are fundamentally the same. If beaver dam is natural then Three Gorges Dam is also natural. Difference is only in degree of sophistication.
This may be true from the “outside” – i.e., from the perspective of some hypothetical non-human observer – but what it doesn’t consider, I think, is the subject-object distinction so important to historical progress. Humanity experiences itself most purely as subject (intelligible) and the non-human worldmost purely as object (alien and unintelligible). Since humanity begins in bondage to external nature, the original traumatic experience is the collective discovery that subject is in fact, and from a certain view that may be considered more “correct,” also object, and this with regard to the brute, unintelligible forces of external nature. Historical progress is humanity asserting and maximizing its subjectivity by control over the external world. Thus, dialectically, a real distinction between humanity and nature develops. Nature is that which cannot be known (by humanity) as subject, and over which humanity is struggling to assert control; humanity is that which can be known as subject, which itself struggles, and which is experienced as struggling. The precise boundary between the natural and the human is discovered and created within the conflict itself.
The concept of money was put into the food. But before that people respected each other “naturally”. until those scumbags farmers put the concept of money in the “world” —outside the head
