| Those Who Unmake Civilization |
| 2018-09-28 |
| h/t Instapundit I've been listening to crazy people saying things like someone isn't entitled to the presumption of innocence, or that an accusation that is not only unproven but unprovable is "corroborated" in growing alarm. What goes through my mind is "this is the way you un-make civilization. Part of the problem is that our civilization ‐ arguably, at least in terms of keeping the most people alive and in relative comfort ‐ is not normal in the history of the world. This strange idea that each individual has rights, that the rights are inherent to them, that they deserve to be given due process, and not simply destroyed because someone ‐ anyone, or one of their betters ‐ accused them of something, is not only bizarre in terms of historical societies. It’s also something that took a long time to work itself through. And ever since it’s been created there have been attempts to take it back to "normal human society." |
