    Rights you probably take for granted were won by people blowing stuff up or attacking and even killing people.

          The rights I have today were gained through war, not through unfettered chaos.

          No one rioted in the streets burning down buildings and looting them to give me my rights. My rights were given to me through wars that were fought. Organized, state in state violence, or organized state vs rebellion open conflict. The distinction is quite important.
