I think this cleared up our disconnect. I chose oblige to indicate that they require others to do something for them to occur. Most often paying taxes, to pay the provider of a service. This typically isn’t a ‘at gunpoint’ interaction. But negative rights will never require another to do something for it to be practiced.

I agree with your highlighting of the philosophy behind them. I was more concerned about a short rememberable way to differentiate the two.

So I chose oblige vs force to make sure it had the connotation of a civil concession.
