The masses don't want rights, because they don't understand the rights that they have. They think having rights is the default, and they will never consider negative consequences of any actions (they will only blame individual sources of harm after harm occurs, even if they could have broadly prevented such harms beforehand by responsible action). Any protection of rights seems to require an oligarchy, since only educated and responsible people (ie not the commons) are able to make such decisions and actions.
