Rep. Becca Balint of Vermont (D) explains: You can believe that everyone's entitled to dignity without having to understand each person very well. Make human dignity "your North Star."
I wrote this four years ago: What Is Human Dignity? Where does it come from? How do we know it exists? Observations. (12 min read) Tucker Lieberman, Curious, Feb 20, 2021
"These principled libertarians log on every day and they cheerlead the White House’s explicitly fascist X account as it delights in the pain and despair of migrants who have fled violence and poverty only to end up under a government run by openly white supremacy policy makers like Stephen Miller and Tom Homan. The Don’t Tread On Me people say, well, this is what happens when you break the law. You lose all your rights. Your liberty is eviscerated. You become a non-person. I say this because I have never read a book, have no understanding of constitutional law, and am an enormous dumbass. I know nothing and I don’t know I know nothing.
A population full of these fools is a nice little formula for an authoritarian takeover.
Listen to Bryce Mitchell’s words and consider what he’s saying. It’s unclear if he would defend himself against tyranny even if it comes to his home country, which sadly happens to be the US. It's unclear if he would act if his neighbors were under assault. It’s only clear that he would mount some sort of defense against government intrusion if it came directly to his home. This is the thought process of an infant. No offense to infants."
