I don't necessarily have anything against human rights, but which rights, and for whom? Who decides, and then who enforces those rights? Rights are kind of meaningless without enforcement, and for that you need a state. In that regard, the rights that exist and are enforced, and for whom, depends primarily on who controls the state. That's fine if the people who control the state share your ideas about which rights get priority, but it sucks if you and the state disagree.

Edit: I think this video essay explains it much better.
