We live in the digital era mass surveillance. This should not surprise any
of red readers here pilled return royalty. Edward Snowden revelations about
the National Security Agency metadata collection program cameras in every
corner, it is very easy to lose sight of what is really important in this
national debate: all arguments, debates and discussions boil down to one
question:
Are you ready to die for the Fourth Amendment to the United States
Constitution?
The citizens' right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and
effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated,
and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or
affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched and the
persons or things to be seized.
The Fourth Amendment has been interpreted as a right to privacy, and has
its origins in English law while there were some places that the king could
not go. A man of the house is his castle as was found in the English legal
texts from the 17th century.
In this era of the threat of terrorism, certain liberties are under siege
by many well-meaning individuals and policy makers. Many (if not most) have
general-laudable goal to prevent people from dying in terrorist attacks.
Some (probably a minority) support mass surveillance to other dishonorable
means. I respect the people who are really well-meaning, even if they are
wrong.
They are wrong because the Fourth Amendment is very important, and worth
risking our lives for. Sacrificing the Fourth Amendment on the altar of
saving our lives is the wrong choice: Benjamin Franklin said it perfectly
when he said, Those who would sacrifice liberty for security deserve
neither.
South Park, and Great River Hypocrisy
Americans, since their inception in 1775, have always made statements about
their high duties. However, making noble statements is easy: the defense of
these rights is difficult, and the men could die. Although I am well known
for my theoretical support for Britain in the American Revolution (were I
alive in 1775), I have the greatest respect for the founding fathers who
not only have high returns on individual rights, but also were willing to
sacrifice their lives to protect / preserve. I have little to no respect
for any man who claims to believe in something, but retreats like a coward
when faced with adversity in defending those beliefs.
There was a controversy a few years ago about a South Park episode where an
image of Muhammad was to be shown. Although Trey Parker and Matt Stone
fought hard to have the Mohammed image included in the episode, Comedy
Central censored the image of evil outside animated Mohammed. In a
deliberate irony, Parker and Stone called cowardice Comedy Central in the
same episode: The character Stephen Stoch (Butter father) gives South Park
soliloquy about the difference between believing in something and just give
lip service.
For those who watch South Park Butter's father had the unusual role of
giving the episode a political message s.
In short, if you are willing to risk death for you and your children in a
terrorist attack to preserve the Fourth Amendment, I will praise you as an
individual intellectually honest who really believes in the concept of
privacy. I do it in a way similar to how Roosh respects all people at risk
of humiliation and really trying to have sex with attractive women.
But if you support the dismantling of the National Security Agency's
program metadata, but reinstate if your life or the lives of your children
were at stake so I brand you a coward and a hypocrite. Support genuine
civil liberties (not in the way SJW s think about them) is difficult:
standing up for your rights can get you killed. Horribly. In a hail of
rusty nails and ball bearings.
Not worth dying for nothing?
In 1964, a man named Ronald Reagan gave a speech at the Republican National
Convention entitled a time to choose & # 8221. Aptly named, the future
President Reagan would place the following to the American people:
If nothing in life is worth dying for, when is it started & # 8212; right
in front of the enemy (Communism)? Or should Moses have told the children
of Israel to live in slavery under the Pharaohs? Christ have refused the
cross? If the Patriots in Concord Bridge have thrown their guns and refused
to fire the shot heard round the world? The martyrs of history were not
fools, and our honor dead gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis
didn t die in vain.
As a people, Americans must decide it would be better to die on their feet
as free men whose rights are not violated privacy than live like slaves
whose lives have been exposed to government . In the words of Reagan, the
martyrs of history are not crazy. We have everything to lose when we let
fear of physical violence to convince him to give us our rights. During the
Cold War, it was obvious to the West as tens of millions starving to death
or sent to Mao survival courses in Siberia during the Soviet Union.
What this means for us today
We must not let the threat or fear of violence silent truth. Ann Coulter
and Milo Yiannopolis were wrong to cancel their appearances speaking at
Berkeley under the threat of violence Antifa and other organizations. SJW I
guess both Ann and Milo support the right to freedom of expression if they
are really dedicated, I would put them to whom they should get up on the
podium, even if they know for sure that a terrorist left will shoot them.
As we silence our voices to avoid violence SJW s is the time that we give
up our moral authority: the red pill we are brave warriors, and SJW s loose.
Neither would have fallen face SJW violence.
Date with destiny
Last month, I took a vacation to Hawaii when I was between jobs. While
enjoying the free alcohol served in first class, I had the opportunity to
really think about the issue of privacy and it was really worth risking
one's life. I realized that if I am ready to die for the fourth amendment,
I can not support the NSA same metadata program with the best intentions
(to save lives).
When a sudden jolt of fear struck me at the prospect of being torn by a
suicide bomber, I remembered that I had felt the same fear before: in Iraq
and Afghanistan while serving in the army US. As undesirable as the
prospect is, to this day, I am always ready to risk death or serious
mutilation in the name of the rights listed in the Constitution as it was
originally written and intended, not the perversions of the suite supreme
Courts (slavery apart).
A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is
more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature & #
8230; -John Stuart Mill
Edward Snowden is no hero: hero Don t run off to nations even more
tyrannical than they are ostensibly protesting. Still, I am glad that the
information about a leak of the NSA's metadata program and he was right to
do so. We, the red men pilled, must decide that our freedom is more
important than our lives, and that there are greater things than our desire
to continue living, banging beautiful women and improve. We have to fight
like hell to destroy those who wish us harm, we must secure our borders
(which would reduce the chances of having to risk our lives in the name of
the fourth amendment), but above all we must stay intellectually coherent
with our beliefs and summon the courage to stand up for them in the face of
danger.
