Why is Yarvin being given a platform on FR. Do we have to rebut every fool?
I’ve been wondering if they are being paid by China or if they imagine they will be the ones in charge with their boot on the worker’s neck.
I fear you’re very right.
There's that word again. Leftists love it. They love rolling it around in their mouths and chewing on it like a dog with an old smelly sneaker.
Who?
I agree. God created us for a reason. In many ways, we are stuck in Egypt and slaves, and he showed us the way at Sinai if we listen to Him. The first recognition is that we are all slaves to something and need to leave it. It might be fear of economy, it might be fear from health, it might be fear from the climate, it might even be fear from Donald Trump. Before you can overcome fear, though, especially if you are a slave to it, is to admit you are a slave to it, and trust in God to bring you through today’s parted seas. Secondly, quit listening to the fools who are keeping you in bondage, like on this YouTube video.
Instead of inalienable rights, history is about a struggle for power, and part of that power struggle is the fight of the subjugated against subjugation. "Rights" only arise when the subjugation ends, which can usually only be achieved through violent struggle. Sometimes this struggle creates a worse despotism than the one it displaces (French Revolution, Communist Revolutions), sometimes it creates something far greater and enduring (the American Revolution).

There are two Chinas. The one we should like is the Chinese people.
The one we should dislike is the CCP.
I’m going to read me some Samuel Adams. Free library on archive.org.
The ones that became cannibals during the 1960s?
Or the ones that drove pins into the heads of their babies in the 1980s so they would die slow painful deaths?
I think I will pass.
But you go right ahead if they align with your values.
I really hope they don't.
This is a really terrible atheist fallacy, the logical conclusion of this is that there is no God at all.
The use of the word "inalienable" does not mean that rights cannot be usurped - the alienation of rights is merely evidence of government lacking in credibility. The word usurp exists for (among other reasons) this very scenario. These rights are inalienable because they are a gift from God, as Blackstone taught us very plainly.
The absolute rights of man, considered as a free agent, endowed with discernment to know good from evil, and with power of choosing those measures which appear to him to be most desirable, are usually summed up in one general appellation, and denominated the natural liberty of mankind. This natural liberty consists properly in a power of acting as one thinks fit, without any restraint or control, unless by the law of nature: being a right inherent in us by birth, and one of the gifts of God to man at his creation, when he endued him with the faculty of free-will.
Commentaries on the Laws of England, Book 1, page 126.
Even under usurpation rights are still inalienable, BTW. A human/human government can cover up the rights and prevent the expression of said rights, but those rights never actually go away. The rights given to us from God are a part of our fabric. Being a part of our fabric, that, is what makes them inalienable. They cannot actually be taken away but through death. The rights can only be prevented.
This is exactly why many of the Bills of Rights are worded as they are. Government is not the source of rights. God is the source of rights.
There are a lot of Gen Z...
It's more than just Gen Z. His writing has even influenced certain people that are in Trump's orbit.

These "inalienable rights" are utterly alien to someone in China or Nigeria to this day, never mind people of all nationalities for most of the 6+ millennia of recorded human history. If they are human universals and "inalienable rights", why did they have to wait until the 1770s (and in one particular nation/culture) for anyone to recognize them? Certainly the Ancient Greeks and Romans, clever as they were, had no concept of these "universal rights", nor did they exist in the theocratic Holy Land in Biblical times.
You seem unaware of the vast Christian community among the Chinese people.
Whence your ignorance, m’Lady?
