If you have to fight to remove a right, it's not really alienable, is it?

Yes? That's literally what alienable means - removable.

You literally can. Sign a user agreement saying "I will not say X". Boom, your ability is gone.

The argument of "well you can say X, you'll just face the consequence of being banned" is ridiculous, because you might as well say that murder is an inalienable right because you can't give away your ability to murder people. Just because you get arrested for murder doesn't mean you can't do it, therefore you have a natural right to murder!

The whole concept is gibberish.
