"The defense of individual rights has reached such extremes as to make society as a whole defenseless against certain individuals. It is time, in the West, to defend not so much human rights as human obligations.
On the other hand, destructive and irresponsible freedom has been granted boundless space. Society has turned out to have scarce defense against the abyss of human decadence, for example against the misuse of liberty for moral violence against young people, such as motion pictures full of pornography, crime, and horror. This is all considered to be part of freedom and to be counterbalanced, in theory, by the young people’s right not to look and not to accept. Life organized legalistically has thus shown its inability to defend itself against the corrosion of evil.
......
This tilt of freedom toward evil has come about gradually, but it evidently stems from a humanistic and benevolent concept according to which man—the master of this world—does not bear any evil within himself, and all the defects of life are caused by misguided social systems, which must therefore be corrected."

If and when your worldview stops allowing any space for third party “neutrality”, it’s time to rethink whether you’re the “good aide”.

The Melian Dialogue was indicative of human nature but also a cautionary tale. Athens ultimately lost because of hyper-democracy and volatile public passions leading to fanatical foreign policy, when everyone joined together against her.

Can Austria Stay Neutral?
The world has changed. Austria’s security strategy must change with it.
