    are you the guy I was discussing a while back about conscription in Ukraine?

    No, but thanks for the good wishes anyway

    So the question asking for a source on ‘human rights’ is kinda nonsensical, that’s why they responded the way they did.

    The question would be nonsensical when brought up randomly, not when brought up in the context of asking someone who claimed “joining a particular military alliance is a human right” . I wouldn’t be asking that question if they didn’t say “actually it is a human right to join a military alliance”. When categorically affirming what is and what isn’t a human right, in my opinion, it’s understood that this would be the consensus of some international organization, or some resolution signed by almost every country on earth. Of course there’s dissent, and discussion is good, but saying that “joining a military alliance is a human right” is extremely fringe and, frankly, the first time I’ve seen it, so I’d like to see where they got that from.

      Yea I agree. It’s a strange way to phrase it
