  • A free human may live to their heart’s content without infringing upon the freedom of a fellow human. As such, free speech includes expressing any opinion without infringing upon the freedom (or any other fundamental right) of a fellow human. If those boundaries are, for whatever reason, crossed, the law will have to step in and decide who is in the right and who will have to suffer an infringement of their rights. This step is what differentiates a just state and law from an unjust state.

    If you spread lies about a person (“The Czechs are poisoning our wells!”), the state may step in and stop this infringement of the victims rights by curtailing your freedom of speech. A less just state may let it slide, therefore permitting the infringement of the victims rights and (usually) protecting yours against counteraction.

    Now tell me, is this so hard to understand?







  • A) “You” as in your mammalian cells don’t care about (most) antibiotics. Your intestinal microbiome does, however. But it doesn’t exactly get resistant. B) Antibiotica used in medicine are generally reserved for medical purposes. High usage in agriculture is not pretty, sure, and certainly won’t help multi-resistant pathogen issues, but your statement is wrong regardless.
