2Why worry about privacy if you have nothing to hide -Maybe equivocation fallacy...privacy doesn't simply mean "things one wishes to hide"
Why worry about free speech when you have nothing to say....doesn't mean only my free speech necessarily that I support
Why worry about rape, if you are not a woman :....men are raped also, like in prisons
Why worry about minority rights if you are the majority:..majorities could still have been a minority at one point
A lot of these could be straw man fallacies if you push the "logic" to it's assumed rationale.
Why worry about “dying poor people”, when you are rich :..begs the question maybe, i.e. Rich people shouldn't concern themselves with other socioeconomic groups
These might be all opinions...

All of the questions assume a self-centric worldview. We worry about things that don't affect us personally because of our compassion for others who are affected by such things. The questions demonstrate a lack of emotional intelligence more than fallacious reasoning.
