There are differences between granted rights, such as,
civil rights and human rights, which, do not exist, and,
natural rights, that exist by merit of the individual's existence in the natural world,
and require that individual to defend them.
These are the unalienable rights that we hear so much about, and never have defined to us.
The unalienable are the rights that are non-surrenderable
and non-transferrable. These are the natural rights that are derived from our existence in
the natural world and the understanding of it as reached from the evidence of our senses.
Natural rights come from natural philosophy, which is what physics used to be called.
These rights are as real as a stone, as predictable as gravity.
They are a part of our being, that can only be taken away by killing us.
We have been misled to believe that these civil and human granted privileges are rights.
They are not. Natural rights do not come from any authority.
They come from our liberty. Self-defense is force, it is not violence.
The violence initiates the need for defense.

I think about this a lot. We are slaves to whatever corporation we are born into. My whole life I've heard about the rights given to me. If I dont follow the laws of the land, I lose my rights. We let go of our natural right the minute we are born into whatever corporation. Try to live by the rights of our existence, and they will kill you.
if a majority, or even a significant minority, realized their natural rights, nothing could be done to stop it. mostly, it requires that they become conscious that they are slaves and that they can be not slaves. Harriet Tubman said, " i freed a thousand slaves. i could have freed a thousand more, if only they knew they were slaves." many fear the responsibility that comes with liberty. most do not even have it rise to the level of their conscious awareness. there is a book, "No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority" by Lysander Spooner. I would highly recommend this. it is available free, in audio form, on archive.org. here: https://archive.org/details/NoTreasonTheConstitutionOfNoAuthority it is mind blowing. thanks for the read and the comment.
