Rights are an American way of saying that something is desirable and that one is morally justified in using violence to achieve it. They use this terminology for reasons of history. There is no such concrete object of course, just translate into your own world view.

BTW, 'Define "X"' sounds rather childish, whoever says it.

The abject nihilists came out to play! If only they realized the irony of imposing their singular viewpoints on anything or anyone else while maintaining such a philosophy.

... abject nihilist ...

I'll take it! Wait a second while I get my leather jacket & shades

... imposing their singular viewpoints ...

I missed the bit where I imposed anything on anyone, but as you prefer. By the way, how do you have a non-singular viewpoint?
