Good thoughts on this post and in the comments on rights vs duties, the over obsession with "muh constitutional rights" and "freedom" without a focus on national service or any kind of sense of duty that leads to and maintains such freedom.

Under the top comment, thefinn posts:

"Yeah people sometimes take me wrong. I love the founders. Their writing on the topic is so good, it's like I also love Herodotus you know? Even though they are all very very liberal from where I am now sitting.

And I think they all came to the same wrong conclusions regarding RIGHTS.

I think RIGHTS need to be forced into a new paradigm where they are no longer rights, but DUTIES.

Like doing national service, after national service - every man MUST own a rifle for the defence of the nation and keep it clean and ready.

Some discipline is needed at the basic citizen level. This whole idea of "freedom at all costs" is costing WAY too much now.

The reason I do this is not to be mean or cruel, but to burst this bubble of the sacred cow people hold the constitution and such up as. "Muh Rights" is a lot of the problem. They have been worshipping the wrong things as moral and good and this is now the outcome.

There's also the point that the US was at it's best and strongest when it was - more European. It's another point I make often. 1776 was the seed, we're now looking at the tree that grew from it and the fruit it bears...."

One is a passive receiving focus, give me what I deserve without earning anything. No expectation to ever serve the community, just be atomized and be "left alone." Libertarianism.

The other is an active service focus, strengthening the nation for the good. This seems to be what the "Socialism" was in National Socialism. Not handouts but a sense of duty to the nation.
