Idiotic response. Where did I say all laws are unjust? Just the ones that infringe on our liberties.
As for the second part of your post, there is no such law. That is a fundamental right which comes from our humanity. Did you think the government granted us that? ha!
Considering certain expressions of speech could get you killed throughout most of history (and still today in some places), I'd say the government granted you that.
Absolutely not, the fact that tyranny exists doesn't prove you right.
Educate yourself
The excerpt from the video does nothing to support your claim. I'm well aware of the constitution. The fact that tyranny can exist is what makes my claim valid. Freedom of speech is not a human right, it has been granted to you by the people in power, hence the government. And governments can just as easily take it away. Hence monarchies, dictatorships, theocracies, etc.
That would be called tyranny, and I've already explained that does not prove you right. It's our duty to protect our liberties, I have the freedom to say whatever I want.
"A free people claim their rights as derived from the laws of nature, and not as the gift of their chief magistrate."
"The majority, oppressing an individual, is guilty of a crime, abuses its strength, and by acting on the law of the strongest breaks up the foundations of society."
"It is strangely absurd to suppose that a million of human beings, collected together, are not under the same moral laws which bind each of them separately."
"The policy of the American government is to leave their citizens free, neither restraining nor aiding them in their pursuits."
"Every citizen should be a soldier. This was the case with the Greeks and Romans, and must be that of every free state."
-Thomas Jefferson
Your mindset is the problem, and people like you is why this country is becoming so backwards.
