Remember, "human rights" are designed specifically to restrict your liberty.

Yeah, the term "human rights" was not used much at all before WWII. And it really spiked in use during the 1970's, right at about the time the "Capital H Holocaust" started being used much more too. Words like that are simply a cudgel used to attack European society.
