A Declaration of the Intrinsic Rights of Human Beings
I hereby declare the following to be the intrinsic, unconditional and unalterable rights of all human beings, regardless of nation, race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexuality or any other marker. Further, I declare that human well-being, as well as the very survival of the human species, depends on the fulfillment of these rights by the governing bodies of our societies. Any governing body which does not enforce and support these tenets stands in direct opposition to the continued existence of human flourishing and of civilization itself. It is therefore the duty of all individuals of able body and mind to resist such governing bodies to the best of their ability.

All human beings who do not possess even a single of these rights due to the interference of a governing body live under some form of oppression. Any human being who does not possess even a single of these rights due to the interference of a governing body lives under a state of social warfare. If these denials of human liberty are allowed to continue, all of human civilization is in grave danger. Therefore, it is the intrinsic duty of every man, woman and nonbinary individual to enforce and to safeguard these rights for themselves and for all other human beings in whatever manner they can.
