Pamela Geller Unsurprised and Unprepaired





Apparently, Pamela Geller is upset over a dearth of white knights.

Of course, you should have every right to flaunt your freedoms, if that's what you want to do, but you should anticipate the consequences and accept the personal responsibility of preparing for them.

When someone has a well establish track record of following through on their lethal threats against people who commit X and you are bound and determined to telegraph your intentions to commit X in the most ostentatious way you can think of, don't be surprised when that someone shows up with a case of the red ass when you are committing X. This is a no-brainer, people.

Furthermore, if you are not personally willing to kill and die for what you believe in, what is the justification for expecting someone else, who may or may not share your beliefs, to do it for you?

The perfectly reasonable expectation of a pervasive relativistic social mindset is an exponentially increasing number of people who don't give a shit about your beliefs and see no practical utility in killing or dying for your right to express them.
