My hill: Laws that give “unnecessary” rights to people are still good overall and shouldn't ever, EVER, be reversed. Laws that give “unnecessary” rights keep society stable and have come from past times soaked in blood. If you reverse 60-100 years of these gains, then society will collapse.
Can you give examples of unnecessary rights?
Sure. Some people think it’s not necessary to have local anti-discrimination laws against minority groups here. Some people think why should LGBTQ get married in a fucking church, can’t they just sign a paper saying legally they are as good as married without sullying the institution?
Ah ok, well those laws are there because of those people. Otherwise it would just be common sense. So yes, those should never be reversed.
