The Old System Is Still in Place

The old system was better. Government operated on the basis of laws, not amorphous moral terror. Child molestation was a crime. Having unfashionable opinions was not. Outside of the public sphere, the population mostly governed itself and used taboos to do it. You know the outlines of right and wrong, you're born knowing them. So don't let them rationalize away your intuitive moral sense. Cherish and protect them like family heirlooms. That's exactly what they are. What Tucker is describing as the old system is still in place.
