Sustainable Freedom

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.

Claire Wolfe has some interesting observations. I can't wait to read her proposed solutions.
