The truth about natural rights the state doesn’t want you to know
Think the government gave you rights? It didn’t. Natural rights come before the state, and every tyrant knows it. That’s why they try to erase them.
We’ve all heard it before: “The government gives us rights.”
But if that were true, it would mean something deeply sinister: That the government could take them away, and anything that can be taken wasn’t truly yours to begin with.
This is the foundational lie of statism, the idea that your rights are just privileges the state hands down when it’s in a good mood. That your body, property, speech, movement, and even thoughts are subject to approval from people with titles, seals, and letters after their names.
But here’s the truth they don’t want you to realize: Government didn’t create life.
It didn’t breathe a soul into existence. It didn’t conceive you, birth you, or grant you personhood. Whether you believe in a god, the natural order, or the universe itself, life came before man-made law. And it came without asking permission and obtaining licenses.
So if you didn’t ask for permission to be born, why should you need permission to live? I got two words for ya: You don’t. I also got two words for the state that was once a popular phrase used during the Attitude Era of professional wrestling.
The proper pecking order
Government, by its very nature, is downstream. It’s a tool people created, not the other way around. That puts the hierarchy like this: Higher Power → Human Beings → Government
That’s the natural order. But today, we’ve flipped it on its head. People have elevated the state to the role of deity. It now defines what’s “essential,” controls what’s “legal,” dictates what’s “true,” and punishes what’s “wrong.”
But the state’s not a god. It’s not sacred, and it sure as hell isn’t your parent or big brother. It’s a servant that betrayed its master.
Fiction that tells the truth
In my books, whether they’re set in magical academies, dystopian wastelands, or ancient kingdoms, the thread running through them is this: Power is always downstream of life.
That’s why my characters question the legitimacy of the systems themselves. They don’t want or need a “better ruler.” They want the chains off. Because deep down, they know what I believe you know, too: Government is a creation, not a creator. And anything men created can be undone.
My stories are about reclaiming the natural order. They got heroes who stop asking for permission and start exercising the rights they were born with. And in doing so, they remind us that the fight for liberty is spiritual as much as it is political.
Because you can’t derive freedom from a cage. You can only find it by tearing the cage down.
Want fiction that fights back?
If you believe freedom is a birthright, not a government-granted favor, then my books are written for you. Explore liberty-first storytelling where theme-first fiction is a calling.
So, which book should you start with? Why not roll with Arcane Awakenings? In it, Yote Diamondback’s been taking the blue pill a little too much until something happens that forces her to swallow the red pill.
