Rights are imaginary, it's always just been a question of power

    Seriously, every time I hear someone say "that's illegal, they can't do that" i want to bang my head against a wall. Watch them, they just did! So many people are stuck in this naive mindset of "what does the rulebook say" while governments correctly understand that in reality, the only question that matters is "who's gonna stop me".

    I'm sorry for what they've done, my condolences and I hope things get better for you soon

    That's true. Your rights are not inalienable. The only way you get to keep them, is if you fight for them every time there's an election. If you're not voting for the candidate who will actually respect your rights, then you may as well be giving them away.
