You're an idiot.
You say anyone has the right to do anything. This would imply that we could do things that would be considered cruel or immoral. You then go onto say that there might be consequences. Presumably these consequences would be retaliation etc. Imagine you have done something like this, something "immoral". So other people have decided they didn't want you to do this particular thing. Maybe they think you don't have the
right to do this thing. In fact isn't that the basis for our desires for revenge or justice? That someone
didn't have the right to do something. Maybe this retaliating person considers it their right to decide whether pictures of themselves appear on the internet or not.
People decide who has the right to do anything. My opinion is that we don't have the right to post pictures of other people without there consent.
So if someone beats you up you would think "well, that's they're right" and you wouldn't get angry? Of course your reply to that might be "I have the right to get angry and seek revenge" but if your own rights, such as your right to not get beaten up, haven't been transgressed (because anyone has right to
do anything and these people have the right to beat you up, so your right to not get beaten up has been superseded in this instance) then on what basis exactly would you be angry?
