Great story, really illustrates how the world works in a microcosm.
If any group isn’t willing to violently enforce their property rights.. some other group will come and take over the land. Its human nature to expand, and appropriate.
I once read a philosopher who said there is no stasis.. among the great civilizations you either are expanding or shrinking. It was interestingly an anti-conservative argument.
“If any group isn’t willing to violently enforce their property rights.. some other group will come and take over the land. Its human nature to expand, and appropriate.”
Correct!
Yup. That's the point. History didn't end, and human nature doesn't change.
Mexicans - Latin Americans - see themselves as a group, a nation. Thus they operate in concert.
The Americans have been de-nationalized by a long succession of judicial usurpations - so called "civil rights" laws that went well beyond what was in the enabling amendments - and guilt tripping incited by cultural Marxists who see it as a way of undermining and weakening a powerful nation, not as an egalitarian good - that's just their cover story.
The same has not happened to other nations. They are more visceral, feral groups who see opportunism as legitimate. If an American were to try and protect his property the way he is entitled to, he would be at minimum sued, at maximum arrested and jailed. Look at what happened to Roger Barnett in Arizona - an obvious set-up.
We either get rid of the self imposed limits that make us weak or we go down, hard.
