The absolute cornerstone of civilized society is property rights. All else stems from the ability to own solid assets. You might argue freedom of speech or gun rights, and they’re related, but not the block holding the whole wall.

Yesterday I bought five hundred feet of copper wire at Lowes. It was locked up and the clerk carried it to the cash register and waited while I paid for it. When I asked why he said that people would just walk in and walk out with it. They’re doing that all the time with almost everything. When I started working my first job in 1971 was in a store. Even though it was a bad neighborhood the amount of theft was pretty low. Right now, I think all the stores in that area have shut down due to theft. Our government is no longer protecting property rights because, it turns out that owning property is just white privilege. We know where this philosophy leads by looking at Detroit and any Democratic stronghold. Yet, here we are, allowing our entire civilization to hit the dumpster because of “racism.”

Probably the most important post on FR. I tried for 25 years to make people understand that.

People will realize it when the government destroys their property like mine and you can never go home again.

We are the natives now.

“property rights”

Our rights, are also our property.
