“Stimulation” as arbitrarily defined by the Kingdom of Sweden…which could be the the UNCRC set to Ace of Base tunes, much to Swedish parental chagrin.
Both countries and their respective pieces of legislation belie a view of human rights incontrovertibly warped by Statist agenda: Finland invents a human right to justify state control of internet access. Sweden revokes the natural right of parents to instruct their children in favor of the always-benevolent, always-just regime. (It Takes a Village, anyone?) Two nations, two cases of ”rights” arbitrarily created, redefined or rescinded, gutting the concept entirely.
But, this is the EU. What do the Socialist escapades of two chilly Montana-sized nations across the Atlantic have to do with us? We should consider ourselves fortunate to have front row seats to the future of our own nation should liberal policies continue to proliferate. The same euphemistic language is bandied about, the same conjuring of “rights” occurs to facilitate more regulation of our lives. Far from being anchored in anything substantive—besides an elitist vision of control—the term “basic human right” itself is a plaything, a MacGuffin, a verbal football to toss back and forth as long as it serves their purpose. What does it even mean?
The right to comply with the State’s choices for our children, our health, our media. The right to receive anything the State decides to generously guarantee us, with gratitude (blessings and peace be upon It).
All things considered, I’ll take my freedom and 1996 dial-up over this utopia any day.
