What should we do? We are in an ongoing culture war.
Responsibility is out. Victimhood is in. We see political examples of cultural cleansing where liberal politicians want to eliminate a conservative culture. People who love liberty should advocate for a better culture rather than be on the defensive.
For example, what should we do if self-defense was more than a right we tolerate, but was actually a virtue we promote? Here are guerrilla tactics in the private and public spheres of the culture war.
Please leave your suggestion. What should we do? |

| I think it is the perfect moment to bring up a bit of ammunition in our argument that self defense is a virtue. If the passengers on flight 92 were exercising their right to self defense of 9-11-01, then self defense is demonstrably a good thing. If they were counter attacking against the criminal terrorists they were correct. If they were resisting being drafted, against their will, into a suicidal kamikaze attack then they were justified. Use that argument and see if the antis can counter it. Self defense is not vigilantism; it is legal, moral and ethical |

TO REMEMBER |
| You are bound to meet misfortune if you are unarmed because, among other reasons, people despise you....There is simply no comparison between a man who is armed and one who is not. It is unreasonable to expect that an armed man should obey one who is unarmed, or that an unarmed man should remain safe and secure when his servants are armed. In the latter case, there will be suspicion on the one hand and contempt on the other, making cooperation impossible. — Niccolo Machiavelli in "The Prince." |
