Honestly, I think there only really two human rights: the right to property, and the right to do anything that does not directly infringe upon other people’s rights to do the same.

So for example you don’t have the right to: punch someone, murder them, rape, vandalize their property, etc

You do have the right to: drugs, suicide, crying fire in a theater, hurt or kill animals, hate speech, bullying etc.

A lot of these rights I wouldn’t consider morally acceptable (like harassment), but I strongly believe we need to have a distinction between rights and morality.
