Academia has been diverted by authoritarian nerds who just want to replicate themselves to serve those in power.

So no one has human rights, so why have any laws at all? It doesn’t matter how wishful the thinking behind it is, we’ve created the system that hinges on rights of individuals. Even those who violate laws have rights as citizens, except in very specific cases, historically. Or recently in broad general cases, for example the NDAA, which should be nullified or amended at the very least.

Behavioral standards keep things running smoothly. The fiction of "rights" makes the standards more palatable, and it's useful to at least pretend to believe in them. But watch how rights go right out the window when the chimps throw a chimpout.
