  It isn’t / wasn’t

  There are/were a lot of systems where you need to be granted a privilege in order to do something.

  And just as many where the laws aren’t defined so anything can be laid out as illegal

    There are/were a lot of systems where you need to be granted a privilege in order to do something.

    Meaning there’s a law against doing it without said privilege.

    “If there isn’t a law against it, you’re allowed to do it”

    Even in liberalism, what you said is still the case. I need to be granted the privilege of a driver’s license to drive a car, I need the privilege of a medical license to practice medicine, etc. You’re talking nonsense.

    And just as many where the laws aren’t defined so anything can be laid out as illegal

      No, that’s not what I mean. What I mean is systems where everything is illegal by default and laws give you privileges to do something.

      Or even worse where the mood of a person is the law.

      2. Such as the new Russian law about discrediting the army.

      Anything can be interpreted into that law

        That’s not any system that has ever existed.
