That video grossly oversimplifies the fact that there is a huge grey area between those two ideologies.

And what was up with the video acting like government's are authoritarian states simply when they pass laws? Last time I read the Constitution we expressly GAVE the government the power to pass legislation BROADLY within its enumerated subject matter jurisdiction.

One of the reasons why we gave the federal government more power was because the previous government under the Articles of Confederation was such a miserable failure. It didn't have ENOUGH power.

That video misrepresented too many things for my taste.

 

It's not an oversimplification. The concepts are simple. people who wish to distort and remove your rights add complexity in order to do so.

You don't believe in personal rights, so of course your not going to like the video. That doesn't make it wrong.
