The greatest danger and threat to civilization itself, is the glaring fact that almost no one has even a basic understanding of what makes our modern free society possible. There is no understanding of the market economy, and because of that, there is no widespread understanding of the danger that interfering with that free economy poses. It’s why we’ve allowed state and local governments to shutter businesses without any resistance whatsoever. Even as society slowly disintegrates, most of us remain blind to the cause. This ignorance is why we allow our own government to pick a pointless, unnecessary, and jingoistic fight with our largest trading partner, China. A trading partner with whom we unknowingly benefit greatly. The “Wuhan Flu”, the ‘China Virus”, China wants to kill us, China this, China that. It’s the familiar “external threat” horsecrap that is repackaged, reheated, and fed to us on a daily basis. And boy do we eat it up.
The greatest and most immediate threat to the safety and security of US citizens is their own government. A testament to our ignorance as a citizenry is the fact that our government punitively closes businesses in mass, throwing 50 million people out of work, forces masks upon us, robs us blind through a monetary policy that could only be described as maniacal if someone took the time to understand it, and we sit by and take it, allowing that same government to redirect our anger and outrage to the most desired target.
It’s Groundhog Day in America. We are stuck in a time loop, and each moment we believe that we will finally free ourselves, our fear and paranoia is stoked, and we fall back into the arms of our abuser, and we succumb to the same drugs and lies that brought us here in the beginning.
Our lives, the modern world itself depends on breaking the trance, of refusing to believe the lies, no matter how convincing they sound. If we are to live free lives, and ensure that our children and grandchildren do as well, they we must break free.
