Yes, our own LEOs will carry out the orders of their superiors just as quickly. Which is why we HAVE the US Constitution and the Bill of RIGHTS! NOTE HOWEVER, the STATIST LEFT can and does act against the people. Remember how that Wisconsin local DA went after Gov.Walker supporters with gestapo-like raids! It took massive public outcry to rectify the gross outrage!
Our LEFT & the worldwide LEFT despises the very concept of individuality and individual RIGHTS, which is why, like termites, they seek to destroy this edifice! It is a target because they seek the hive-mind control in the name of the collective. Yes that is teir words but we deplorably MUST FIGHT because this is what they believe with a religious zealotry!
I remember how, on a trip to England in 1999, I carried a pocket US Constitution & Declaration and joked with an acquaintance about carrying subversive documents. Now, I wonder if they would be, in the ‘modern’ UK!
I was born and raised in England. I moved here as a teenager. It took YEARS before I understood what was the core difference between the USA and *everywhere* else, including the UK, Canada, the rest of Europe, etc.. That difference was COLLECTIVISM vs. INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS. People in the UK believe they have rights - BUT they’re always subjective to the will of the collective. The concept that “individual rights come first and ARE in the best interests of the collective” vs the “collective decides what individual rights are good for you” is the most fundamental difference. As far as I’m aware, this concept is only true in the USA. Collectivism rules everywhere else...and it’s the reason everywhere else believes our 2A is dumb.
When this type of collective thinking exists, it permeates into government, into the mindset of the police. They align with the collective. They are morally correct because the collective says so. Speaking against the collective means you are doing something wrong. Doing something wrong means it must be stopped. They don’t even understand they’ve become the “thought police”.
I’ll point out one other thing...they abandoned Christianity decades ago. Even in the 80’s, few kids had any exposure to Christianity or the Church. Now they’re morally lost. Islam is taking over. Mohammed is the most popular name. LGBTQIA+ rules, the police are fully aligned. They don’t even see the anti-Christian nature of it all.
From a country that practically invented “free speech”, I’m ashamed of how far it has fallen. The only people that seem to be able to cut through the spell are yesterday’s comedians (e.g. John Cleese, Rowan Atkinson, ...) - as they point out what was popular decades ago wouldn’t be allowed now....something has gone wrong.
There are those that see it. Of course they are universally labeled by the media as “far right extremists”, accused of every “ism” and are just horrible people to be ignored. The majority go along with it because virtue signaling is nothing new - it’s just that technology has enabled an instant global reach into our lives. Anything you do can be captured, instantly shared, and instantly condemned globally.
These police are brainwashed fools that believe they are absolutely morally correct to stop such opinions. In the UK it has been established into law. Hate speech laws are evil.
When I visit the UK (family & friends) I can taste the difference and it has become stronger as each decades passes, yet they don’t see it. If I try to explain I know they’ll just think I’ve become some “crazy American”.
This can’t continue and will not end well.
