Sustainable Freedom: The Dilemma
Claire Wolfe at Backwoods Home Magazine - does freedom inevitably bring its own downfall? Claire thinks there's hope, and promises to say more about why in her next article. [claire]
To sum: Free men of character establish secure, prosperous, just societies. Those societies in turn breed generations who scorn the very notion of character or self-responsibility. Unthinking people hand their loyalties to alpha men and alpha institutions. They turn their eyes away from the ugly realities of power, prefering to see starry skies and waving flags. The alphas buy their continued loyalties by falsely promising protection and "free" benefits.
In this cycle, freedom doesn't have a chance. On the rare occasions it's forged, it immediately begins to die.
