Fascism? Government in combination with business. Putin is fighting fascism. What he doesn’t realize is that he invented and perfected 21st century fascism. How long until taking a whiz standing up will land you in gaol?
I’m not book smart or overly intelligent either way.. But I do know a bad deal when I see one.. Your? Our? government does nothing but pick winners and losers with a BIG sanction and boycott stick in its hands..
Reminds me of bad parents who force their children to fist fight each other for their amusement.. Nothing is off the table..
As far as me voting for the table scraps mom and dad are willing to send my way.. I just cant do it anymore..
Yes. The bad parent analogy is a good one. I have sometimes thought government is like an abusive parent — with the phenomenon of citizens not wanting to admit the abuse in the same way as an abused child sometimes cannot totally reject the abusive parent because it also means acknowledging you are not loved and that you are not safe.
Amazing to see how many people are starting to realize that the present day governments are not interested in anyone’s well being except for themselves. If we don’t all shake ourselves out of this lethargy we are immersed in, then the American ideal that evolved from the British, Roman, and Greek societies will be the last succession of mankind’s quest for freedom. The dots are all there, the jig-saw pieces are all face up on the table, it doesn’t take a genius to connect or assemble them. The propaganda that we have been immersed in over the last twenty or so years has never been more blatant or excessive and yet a great number of us fail or refuse to see it. From the statements “to fundamentally change America” to the “first post national state” and “you will own nothing and be happy” the ultimate goal has never been more evident. The steps to advance their aim have been incremental and slow, slow as molasses in January, but steadily, sickenly, sweetly advancing just the same. Promising a Utopia of government protection and largesse while at the same time curtailing our freedoms one by one. The promise to get back to normal if we all do as instructed is the ultimate lie. The Golden Period of the Fifties, Sixties, and Seventies of Western Society will be remembered as the pinnacle of civilization if the majority of the Western population don’t wake up to the fact that we are being enticed down the path to a new fuedalism, created by liars and theives that in a free society would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Antenor, ++++++++ Wise and well stated, thanks.
I admit to being a fan of Steyn, for years, and Oliver for the past year or so. They are both able to articulate what we know in our hearts to be true. They are helping to wake up the deep slumbering giant of western populations. I just hope enough wake up before it’s too late…shoot, it may already be too late….sigh!
GerryK,such pessimism.
It is never too late to engage in the activities that best describe our nature.
Every one of these Evil Greedy bastards,which is their real world description, fails to understand human nature.
Seeing only the way they perceive us.
So if you were a low life frightened cowardly rat,you would see the world that way.
And thus be seized with the need to control all and everything.
I maintain that there is only one thing better,when appealing to our base nature,than setting ones neighbours house on fire and dancing drunkenly around the flames.
And that is if our neighbours are still inside.
Look to our history.
This is what we do.
It is never a bad thing when our enemies proudly self identify.
The problem of seeking to control all and everything,is that even if you win,you lose.
Sane persons know this,which is why very few run for public office.
For when you “succeed” to absolute power,now you must rule and regulate every action and function of those you rule..
And because of this idiocy and blindness of ones own idiocy,their “Rule” collapses into chaos.
The more absolute the rule,the more quick and certain the chaos.
Forward.
I offer you Confederated Canada as a perfect example of what I describe.
Where production and wealth creation continue in spite of Government,never thanks to government.
JR, Thanks for the pep talk, and you are right. However, don’t mistake my concern as pessimism, no matter how much they attack and attempt to control us, I have no intention of going quietly, and yeah, I’m stocked up on “ALL” the necessities for the coming apocalypse! I do think that ultimately humanity will triumph, I just think at 73, I’m to old to see the end of the coming dark decade, or more, therefore the sigh!
