How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps

by Ben Shapiro

Without America’s philosophy, reason collapses into tribalism; without America’s culture, individual rights collapse into collectivist tyranny or duties collapse into libertinism; without American history, the symbols that unite us divide us.

Instead of equality before the law, or equality in individual rights, Disintegrationists seek equality of outcome.

In other words: Government, stick to your job. And you have an extraordinarily specific job description.

Finally, the Constitution was designed in the belief that local governments govern best, since they are closest to their constituents.

Second, American philosophy holds it as self-evident that all human beings are created with equal rights. This does not mean that they have equal capacities or qualities, or that their results in life will be equal, or that they begin with equal opportunities. It does mean that law must treat men alike, not distinguish between them on the basis of characteristics beyond their control.

Disintegrationists have historically stretched the boundaries of the Constitution beyond the breaking point to grant government powers it was never delegated.

The mob doesn’t want to discuss an unpopular view; they want to silence it. The mob doesn’t want an explanation; excuses make them angrier. The mob doesn’t want an apology; blood in the water encourages a feeding frenzy.

The social media mob will come for anyone and everyone—even, hilariously enough, those who have egged on the social media mob.

A culture of economic freedom is being replaced by a culture of economic expectation. And a culture of economic expectation inevitably results in a culture of economic tyranny.
