Stop talking about "needing to protect our values"! Your values are already a void piece of shit and you know it! What is left of it after the enterprises are done with it? "Freedom of speech" - once speak out your mind and you might lose your job for it! And the rest of it is throwing around with dirt against each and everyone.
You're not free in the democratic West - you're only as free to move as long as somebody makes a profit of it. If you speak the wrong, you might not be able to leave the country, nor moving anywhere because magically nobody wants to make a contract with you. The village you want to move to formes a mob every night to stand in front of your house.
So, where are your freedoms? In the data-banks of political extremists? In the newspaper that reflects the position of the government - or of a few rich people whose names you don't know? Or in the public audience being more interested in cat photos than where their wealth comes from?
Talking about "values" - what kind of values do you mean? The thirty-three percent of divorces? The families living split apart across the country because of the places of work? The sexual minorities rights that are still tormented by the free TV spreading prejudices?
The only things that are settled with a solid value are the assets. All other things are not considered worth saving, if it's not for a big show. Equality of opportunities and being in effect of "when you exert yourself, you're going to gain some"? Tell that to the various people from politics and economy which screw things up and then get offered an even higher position.
A propos "the assets" - it is already an asset the knowledge what you buy, where you live, where your children go to school to and which ailments you have. Why, you ask? Because even a wheelchair user could plan an assault or he could be wanting to purchase something at the middle of the night.
So, if there's any kind of purpose to the whole "going to war"-idea, then it's not getting dragged out to the streets and being shot for shit right on the spot.
