Ten thousand people protested against the blockade in Austria. What do you think of this?

In fact, those "protesters" in the West do not oppose the government's efforts to control the spread of an infectious virus (the so-called "new coronavirus").

But this point is often misunderstood by many of our netizens.

Our Western people are just saying that they are quite vigilant about people's rights and the boundaries of government actions.

The two, "people's rights" and "the boundaries of government behavior", to a certain extent, are actually a bit "tit for tat". That is to say, when our people are not careful or careful, and let the government develop the habit of "cross-border management", then the people may have to face a "meticulous and paternalistic" government from now on. The government, which always intrudes into the realm of private rights, will suffer the consequences of damaging individual rights. It can be said that if you make one careless move, you will lose everything! One thing our people have to understand is that they always tend to control more, because this is actually the essence of power.

Why do Western people pay so much attention to the boundaries of government behavior?

The reason is that that "borderline behavior" actually has huge symbolic significance. This means that as long as it is implemented and started once, it is basically expected that it will happen again in the future, and there may be a chance to become common and eventually evolve into a commonplace thing.

We know that the formulation and revision of a country’s constitution is of great symbolic significance.

On the one hand, it often serves as the starting point for the founding of a nation, a new country, and a new political system. On the other hand, it also reflects the "latest government boundaries" continuously and stage by stage.

Taking "a certain original constitution" as a starting point and moving towards the next milestone, the constitutional amendment, does the direction of this movement mean that the government gradually gains greater rights in governance, or does the people participate in more matters? The space of government has been reduced. Many of our sober-minded people, if they feel powerless against the "original constitution" born in another era, are actually very, very concerned about this matter.

Yes, this "movement direction", to a certain extent, is actually related to the direction of civilization.

So, at this point, we have to talk about the direction of civilization.

The direction of civilization and civilization must be the gradual expansion of individual rights. On the contrary, if the direction of the movement is the expansion of government rights, then it actually means something "anti-civilization".

Because we generally believe that from generation to generation, as information conditions, medical conditions and welfare conditions improve, people themselves will gradually and continuously improve; therefore, it stands to reason that more rights should be given to each generation. A generation later, it continues to pass from the hands of a few politicians to more and more of our individuals.
