Freedom #realFreedom cannot be "given". People can either respect a person's Rights, or they don't. Rights must be observed or defended else freedom is sacrificed.
Yet, Rights persist even without liberty.
Example: Australians still have a right to arm themselves even in the absence of the liberty to do so. Australians aren't free.
If someone else defines what your liberties are you are not free.
Free people have Rights.
Rights are permissionless.
Rights are moral. *
Rights must be defended.
* No one has the Right to do that which is immoral.
