Free speech is not something that needs to be earned. It is a human right.
#Bitcoin and #nostr will help this human right!

Allow me to caveat this: free speech is the natural order. It's only a right if it gets defended. If we can't defend it it's barely a suggestion.
#bitcoin and #nostr are the defence.
Agreed. Free speech is NOT granted upon being a living human. That would be nice but there are a few billion examples to prove otherwise. nostr:note1lcadg3enw67mmk3sgj7yk6xunwtk9kn495qrw37gsu6aveffjplqf888r2

Rights are permissionless.
They are indeed but actions aren’t.
Please explain.
I should be able to carry a blade on my person because that is a right. However, if I am found to have a blade in the UK, that action will have consequences because the action was not preceded by permission.
You absolutely have the right, just not the liberty.
I know that many people conflate liberties and rights. It's easy to do.
Rights are innate. Christians would say Rights are God given. So Rights precede the State and they persist.
States suppress Rights all the time. What remains are liberties, nevertheless Rights are reclaimable, but you may have to fight for them. (Use wisdom)
Rights should be held sacrosanct, by all and defended when necessary.
I've more to say about this, but no more time.
I'm not recommending suicidal behavior, just hoping to untangle what I think is a confusion for many.
God Bless
