An Orwellian inversion of the term, "human rights." For human rights were traditionally conceived as the individual's legal and moral resort against the arbitrary power of unaccountable organizations. In the new, inverted definition, "human rights" become a device by which unaccountable organizations may crush that individual.
"Human rights" have been ideologized, and collectivized. They now belong to groups, exclusively, and include principally the right not to be "offended" by the existence of an individual with a mind of his own."
