This is the kind of things that worry people in the top freest countries.

In the lower ranked countries there is far more than talk about such things going on.

That's a fine point, it is basically a tautology though, and certainly doesn't mean we should ignore this kind of thing, lest the top free countries go the way of the less free.

What I find most disturbing about this guy's rhetorik is that he says "Politicians give us the right," when that is exactly opposite how things are understood to work in modern democracies. The people give their consent to politicians and by extension the government to govern.

Yeah, I'm not saying you should ignore it. Only that compared to real life international freedom levels, it is a minor problem.
