Legitimate authority stems from ability.
In the world of today more and more authority is taken illegitimate through extortion. Extortion is threatening our liberty and is often based on potential only, not ability.
Potential is an unrealized ability.
Oppressive regimes gain power through spreading the imagination, that they have the potential to take privilege from you, take your liberty or even take your live. But this potential gives them no power. Our fear gives them power. Us changing our actions, believing their threats gives them power.
Rational liberals know, that we human are free by nature. And a violent person can hurt us, deny us possibilities or kill us. But non of these actions can take away our liberty. Only our imagination has the power to do so.
Lets be strong. Lets have the courage to test authority for their ability and stop believe in their destructive potential.
Believe in those who unite us. Support those with constructive abilities to strengthen our society.
Invest in constructive activity!
Believe in love!
Believe in liberty!
