Takeaways
The neglect of individual rights in the West has led to violations of property rights, exorbitant fiscal and inflationary pressures, mass surveillance, censorship, and erosion of freedom of speech.
The Western world has taken individual rights for granted and needs to refocus on protecting negative rights rather than enforcing positive rights.
Education about the principles of freedom and the importance of protecting individual rights is crucial to resist the creeping violation of rights.
The public needs to actively enforce the principles and ideals contained in documents like the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen and the Bill of Rights.
The government's focus on control rather than protecting individual rights is evident in its expansion of surveillance and restrictions on privacy.
