Liberty is what you ought to have after all the necessary laws are in place. The moral system we choose is a political choice. We should have the free speech within which to discuss which moral system we should choose if we think our current moral and political system has failed, which it appears it has. Sadly, no one feels at liberty to discuss this properly.
Worshiping the Goddess of Liberty is irrational and perverse since no one would agree that we should all be free to do anything to to anyone unless they are more powerful and we fear retribution from people more powerful.
Every right and obligation should be clearly defined.
When there is abuse of power, this will be resented. You abuse your power when you demonise and lie about your critics who complain about your policies and call on a biased media to amplify your denunciations.
When grievances are unaddressed because of totalitarian censorship and abuse of power, the danger of violent revolution looms.
