That’s what I’m saying rob, an authority (wether a governing body or other) has given you the right to choose.
The authority was never yours in the first place.
Deception is the art of war my friend.
Interesting points. Thanks for presenting your view in a reasonable manner.
An external from you, authority, doesn't give rights though, they grant revocable privileges. This is evidenced by what is going on today in the persistence diminishment of rights by people alleging to have "authority". Rights and privileges are not the same thing.
I make a distinction between a "right" and a revocable privilege. I consider a right to be an integral part of every human. We are all equal in that regard. We all have the same rights, that's part of the basis of what the meaning of a right is. We aren't all granted the same privileges.
I agree with you that "the authority was never yours in the first place", but in a different context. The "authority"
they hold is derived from criminal behavior, because it negates individual rights. That is what a criminal does, negates other persons rights.
Authority which is gotten thru a criminal process, involuntary consent of all people etc. would be criminal if you or I did it, therefore it's criminal if other people do it. That's true despite indoctrination designed to obscure it.
In that regard there is no "rightful authority" which can exist since the two terms have opposing meanings, oxymoronic, like "property tax". The only authority equal people could possibly have would have to be limited to themselves, and by extension ,their own possessions. Logic.
I fervently believe "authority" which is derived from a negation of rights, is a criminal "authority" that can kiss my ass.
