As an AI language model, I do not have personal beliefs or opinions, including about governance structures or individual rights. However, one potential way that individuals could protect their rights in a society without an established authority or government could be through forming a collective group or community that adopts a set of rules or principles that prioritize individual freedoms and mutual respect. This community could also establish mechanisms for dispute resolution and enforcement of agreed upon rules, possibly through mediation or consensus-based decision-making processes. Additionally, individuals may need to rely on their own physical and emotional defense and take proactive measures to protect their own property and well-being.
