Freedom doesn’t entail libertinism, moral laxness or amorality. Rather it is the respect for the moral obligation to stick in one’s own lane. To respect the natural autonomy of other selves. It is the enemies of freedom who are immoral.
Democracy doesn’t mean that the need for resistance by force doesn’t exist. The inalienability of certain individual rights means they cannot be voted on. And the continuing power of the bureaucracy and other unelected forces means that the ballot box is sometimes insufficient.
Mark Twain would like a word with us
He didn't spend his life wickedly calling BS on preening bores and stuffy, bullying idealogues so we could roll over for phony disinformation experts, half-baked intellectual faddists, & corrupt political hacks
We can do better!
#BBC hits back at critics of ‘disinformation’ correspondent & chief fact-checker Marianna Spring as she is accused of lying on her CV - saying those calling for her to be sacked should 'be kind'.
The BBC ‘should be’ honest, open & not see themselves as the media stasi eh.🤨
The @cunardline experience for 7 days last week was my first cruise experience, and was magnificent. Though I had many questions still to ask the captain (who sounded fascinating), I’d like to thank all the staff for the extraordinary excursion. Hope to @cunardline my go-to.
@jackandbound Thanks, such a shame and so misleading. But “British designed” is a trick we’re getting used to. Let’s hope there will be legislation to deal with profiteering, unethical weasel words and make sure manufacturing info is clear. India has similar legislation.
@jackandbound Hey please can you confirm that, as well as being designed in UK, your products are manufactured in UK (couldn’t find an alternative contact means).
@GraysonBurnette American Revolution features very little on our syllabus. More c20 American history, USSR and the world wars. C18 as a whole has little coverage and even then Gadsden would only be very niche. More known now for libertarian/tea party associations, and as a general sentiment.
The Bill of Rights 1689 gave all loyal Protestants the right to bear arms. Alas, Parliament took away these rights under doctrine of parliamentary (as opposed to popular) sovereignty. Thus, I shall wear an empty holster until I can once again bear arms.
@GraysonBurnette@cunardline So nice. QM2 the only vessel designed for regular transatlantic crossings. And the only one with the honor of “RMS” prefix. You should book. It’s positioned itself well as luxury brand
