Is that right?
YOU are the arbiter of "increasing....." and "statism"??
How nice.
Hey! Country “X” randomly executes citizens at will. That means country “Y” has it so good and they are such a free people because they only get tortured randomly! They’ve never been outside of country “Y” so they just don’t understand how coddled and free they really are! Try living in country “X” and you’ll realize just how lucky you are to only be tortured!
That’s sarcasm but I think it also illustrates your flawed thought process quite well. We have RIGHTS that are LAW. The CONSTITUTION is the LAW. What happens in OTHER countries does not justify our RIGHTS being DISREGARDED in THIS country.
If everyone in this country went along with your thought process, our constitution would be eliminated very quickly and all of our freedoms with it. Your willingness to submit to a clear violation of your constitutional rights is a path to servitude. Maybe you don’t like actual freedom, like the freedoms guaranteed by our constitution, but many of us do. You would settle for table scraps while somebody else enjoys your meal.
