RIGHTS ARE AN ILLUSION

Government in general is an illusion. What makes it a “right” is the willingness of individuals to stand up for it, not by some government’s edict.


Every 'right' that people talk about is actually a privilege granted by their society and revokable by the same.

See previous paragraph: Government is an illusion. They can revoke it all they like, but as long as there are people willing to stand up for it, its still there.


The only 'Inalienable Rights' that exist are those backed by 'Laws of Physics', and those are mostly restrictions

The laws of physics don’t prohibit free speech ;)

If vroom or the gods changed from benevolent dictators to screaming fascists, they would be sitting alone in the monastery while we exercise our freedom by screaming “Viva la revolution!” elsewhere.
