Seems like all of your points conflate current/ongoing wrongs with past wrongs. At some point things that happened in the past are best left there, read about in history books.

My examples were all historical, as a way to highlight that some things we now think of as obvious, basic rights could have (and did have) opposing arguments consisting of "this is the way this world works". The point being: when it comes to human laws, it's not actually a sound argument.
