There’s an important conversation unfolding about freedom of speech, legality, and natural rights. Right now, a specific group is passionately defending freedom of speech in response to the revocation of a temporary permit by the chief executive of this country. This scenario raises meaningful questions about consistency in our values.
I speak from personal experience, having navigated the legal immigration system myself about 30 years ago to become a naturalized citizen. Recently, as a free individual committed to understanding my rights more deeply, I’ve explored natural and common law, recognizing that my body itself is private property. This understanding has led me to question why the passionate defense of freedom of speech appears situational rather than consistently upheld.
In truth, the entire discourse feels inconsistent, even incoherent. We’ve experienced significant infringements on our rights through mandates and executive orders, often met with silence or passive acceptance. Perhaps now is the crucial moment to deeply differentiate between legality (what government statutes allow) and lawfulness (what natural and common law recognize as inherent, inalienable rights).
This moment provides a profound opportunity to clarify what genuinely protects us as human beings and encourages us to courageously stand for our rights. I stood for mine during the COVID hysteria—it’s vital we all learn how to consistently stand for our own.
For that reason, I recently enrolled in studying civics, revisiting the Constitution of the United States. I believe it’s crucial to understand clearly how this country was founded and recognize how far we’ve drifted from those foundational principles, by retracing and embracing again a more Aristotelian methodology—one that prioritizes accountability and personal responsibility, including the essential insights from Ludwig von Mises’ major work, -Human Action-
We act, and thus we bear full responsibility for our choices rather than resorting to blame born of ignorance.
