How the 14A Ruined America

Perhaps Julius Evola is correct and human societies, once they become established, increasingly remove challenges to the human ego until the citizens devolve into monkeys. At least, we can see this process in the White lawmakers who passed the 14A:

Most significantly, Bingham drafted the crucial language of that 14th Amendment. It is Bingham who is responsible for the words: “No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

This sentence would be the legal basis for the Supreme Court’s subsequent decisions desegregating the public schools, securing equality for women, and creating the right to sexual privacy. Bingham also said that his text would also extend all of the protections of the Bill of Rights to the actions of state governments, which is largely, though not completely, the law today.

When the ex-Confederate States refused to ratify the 14th Amendment, Bingham crafted a legislative compromise that ordered the Union Army to organize new elections across the South that would include African-Americans. He told the House that “unless you put [the South] in terror of your laws, made efficient by the solemn act of the whole people to punish the violators of oaths, they will defy your restricted legislative power when reconstructed.”

In other words, the 14A created civil rights in America by giving government a legal requirement that it intervene in all affairs public and private to enforce “equality,” although the founders wisely left that out of the original Constitution.

All civil rights laws that we have today, including those discriminating against men and Whites, originated from this decision. This created the legislative regime of civil rights which enables socialist tax theft and the nanny state as well:

Unlike other rights concepts, such as human rights or natural rights, in which people acquire rights inherently, perhaps from God or nature, civil rights must be given and guaranteed by the power of the state. Therefore, they vary greatly over time, culture, and form of government and tend to follow societal trends that condone or abhor particular types of discrimination.

Even if you like these changes, stop and think a moment: you have now given government a legal demand that it intrude into all areas of your private life. If the government changes, what you now see as beating down the other side will rapidly appear to you as totalitarianism.
