The right is to travel, not to "walk". Your power to limit my freedom of movement is strictly limited under Article 29: you can only do so by enacting law. Without a specific law creating the limitation (such as "don't drive on a sidewalk") you may not arbitrarily decide what modes and methods of travel are acceptable, nor what modes and methods may be infringed upon.
Further, your arbitrary assumption that I am capable of walking specifically violates Article 2, Article 7, and Article 25. Your insinuation that I am only entitled to travel within a reasonable "walking" distance violates one or more of Articles 23 through 27.
You must be fun at parties. If you even get to them when the streets are blocked...
Parties? You mean peaceful assemblies and associations, protected under Article 20? Or cultural life, protected under Article 27? Yes, impeding travel to a party is also a human rights violation.
FYI: Your knowledge about U.S. law is really not the flex you think it is.
Where do you get the idea I was speaking of US law?
All the numbered articles I have cited in this thread are from the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
I wouldn't be able to make most of these arguments under US law. In the US, most of these would be considered civil rights, not human rights.
Not gonna lie, you got me there - could've looked those articles up easily. I still wonder what's even the point of this ridiculous discussion, so I'll just...leave here.
