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 |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
