Rights are never given, they’re taken, all the way back to the Magna Carta. Rights can also be taken away if people don’t step up and defend them. The universe does not care about us!

Rights are taken by force and then forfeited again by future generations who took no part in the original sacrifice. For example, habeas corpus established in the Magna Carta is less of a guaranteed right in the USA after Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act that legalized indefinite detention of citizens.

Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act

I'm so glad that somebody still remembers that. He also decided that summary executions of US citizens was just fine, demolishing another pillar of due process. "Voting blue" on its own does nothing to safeguard our rights.

Yep! The universe doesn’t guarantee rights after they’re won! It’s not like points on a scoreboard. It’s more like territory on a map. Rights must be continually defended!

We’re watching our rights being systematically removed and or history be erased in real time
