After the gunfire fell, the rights of the people gradually disappeared.

"After the gunfire fell silent, the rights of the people gradually disappeared."

by aekdon

After each war, democracy never returned.

It did not disappear at once, but was gradually quietly cut back in the name of fancy words like "stability," "necessity," and "special circumstances."

Every time there is a war or a violent conflict, the first thing the state asks of its people is not victory, but temporary surrender.

Make it easier to search.

Allow more surveillance.

Allow people to shut their mouths

Allow special laws to transcend human rights.

And often say, "Only this moment."

But history teaches us that

Rights that are temporarily suspended are often not fully restored.

When people get used to being ordered,

Used to being controlled.

Used to not questioning

Democracy will gradually become a ritual, not a people's power.

War doesn't just destroy cities or people's lives.

But it allows centralized power to grow.

Keep the state stronger.

While the public weakened,

In terms of rights, freedom and voice.

More terrifying than the enemy outside.

Is that society began to believe

"Freedom is normal."

"Good people don't have to be very eligible."

"Calm is more important than fairness."

When do people exchange freedom for fear?

Only then did the war need no more gunfire.

Because it's already won in people's minds.

Democracy has not disappeared because of its enemies.

But often disappeared because of silence.

Indifference

And telling yourself repeatedly,

"It'll get better."

The important question is therefore not

Who won the war?

But is

After the war, how much do we have to own this country?

Because if the public isn't careful,

One day may wake up in a calm country.

But not liberally.

Safe.

But there's no sound.

And call that "normal," when it's never normal.
