A little boy crouches under a table. He has his arms wrapped around his head, as tight as can be. His eyes are clenched shut, occasionally betraying his valor with tears. His stomach curves inward, a bi-product of terrible hunger. His clothes are scattered with holes and caked in dirt. Yet he is free. Above him bombs rain down from the sky, gleefully destroying lives with every passing minute. The resistance is pitiful; all of the leaders are squabbling in safety, disregarding safety for their own political agendas. A bomb hits the roof of the boy’s home. The boy dies. Yet he dies free. Some may claim that this freedom supersedes all his suffering; that he is a happier individual when free. This is the embodiment of ignorance. Does this freedom make the boy any less hungry? Any less dirty? Any less dead? No. Thus, freedom is the enemy. Freedom is the conveyor of this boy and many other individual’s suffering. Now, some people cry foul to the rise of “extremism.” Frankly, I object. The current regimes are not a result of madness or bloodlust. They are the natural reaction to suffering and a desire to end this suffering. Our methods are not “extreme.” They create order. This order prevents suffering in a way that freedom could never do. This order creates happiness. Any so-called “extreme” measures are simply taken to preserve this happiness. Thus, nothing should be done to change the path our land has taken. The weak should be eliminated. Dissent should be crushed. For when there is no weakness or dissent, what is left? A world of strong, like-minded individuals without the poisonous influence of freedom. I feel that that is a world worth fighting for.
