Comparatively few Americans understand morality and rights. Fewer still understand the foundations of these things—as they have a singular, common, objective root.
1/
Most believe morality to be concerned with or rooted in religion or “decency.” Many believe rights to be things that government or sacred documents bestow upon people. But all of that is wrong.
2/
There is but one fundamental objective morality, one fundamental objective right. That being the unalienable right of an individual to his/her own life, genius, effort, and all the realized potential of these things—meaning property: the fruits of genius and effort.
3/
Anything and everything that violates this fundamental morality is, by definition, immoral. For there is no other objective definition of or standard for morality. Any other definition or standard put forth by anyone is a lie meant to perpetrate evil upon people.
4/
It is this incorruptible, objective standard that lays the foundation for just law. For, like governance, the sole objective purpose of law is to uphold & defend individual rights. Therefore, any law at odds w/individual rights is moot & repugnant to the Constitution.
5/
As for rights, there are only individual rights. Therefore, every “right” supposedly afforded to a group or to some but not others is not a right, but an attack on others’ individual rights and a mortgage on other individuals’ efforts. As such, they are manifest evil.
6/
So, to be clear and sum up, there are no such things as subjective morality, group rights, or laws that do anything other than protect and defend individual rights. No matter how compelling the argument for them, know them as tyrannies meant to subvert liberty and morality.
7/7
And speaking of rights, there is an easy test to know if something is a right or not.

If it requires any effort of any other individual, it is not a right.
