Our government seems to hate the constitution. That is fine. The Constitution was meant to protect us from them.
How long has this wokeness been going on?
I disagree with the author on this one. It’s not the “elite” that are destroying individualism. It’s the complexity of the modern world. It’s pretty much impossible to be a “rugged individual” once you leave an agrarian world and live in a society where 99.99% of the things you need to survive are made by someone else and sold to you.
The other founding document, The Declaration of Independence, has as much or more importance than the Constitution to me. It tells us that it our duty as free Americans to restore liberty when it is corrupted by tyrants. Basically by force if necessary.
It is impossible to invent constitutional devices which will prevent the popular will from being effective for wrong without also preventing it from being effective for right. Our aim must be the moralization of the individual, of the government, of the people as a whole. We desire the moralization not only of political conditions but of industrial conditions, so that every force in the community, individual and collective, may be directed toward securing for the average man, and average woman, a higher and better and fuller life in the things of the body no less than those of the mind and the soul.
If all my advisors are telling me the same thing, I don’t need them all.
