TLDR:

Looking at the current “policy” being enacted by those in control, there is zero evidence of their ability to “lead” us in any area. A radical return to individual responsibility and rights is required. Those who want “control” (looking at you, Fauci!) in the name of their individual ideology are anathema and must once again be shunned. Believing any subset of humanity has the wisdom to direct the actions of the whole is radical narcissism, and must be resisted at every opportunity. Covid restrictions, censorship, CRT, and the promotion of optional medical alteration to minors in the name of ideology all must end.

The war is on. Fortunately so far, for the majority of us this remains a spiritual war. When it becomes a physical barbarity contest, so many options will close. We must fight hard with our words now in order to avoid that outcome. The results of a barbarity contest will leave us a much poorer set of potential outcomes.

But the war of ideas is fully raging; this note is just another salvo.

The two sides:

Those who believe that the ideology they worship (it is a religious level conviction, operating in that part of the mind) is so “moral” that this ideology must be instituted, no matter what their opponents believe or think. Their opponents are defined as morally less and intellectually less according to this perspective. The only hope is for “them” to be obliged (by force, if necessary) to follow the mandated “moral” course of action.

I belong to the camp viscerally opposed to this ideology. Separating society into “the smart and moral group” (who gets to decide what everyone does) and “the masses” (who must be compelled and coerced “because they don’t properly understand their own interests”) is the foundation of tyranny. The arrogance, hubris, simplemindedness (note the debate can only ever be binary, no complexity in the process), brutality, and narcissism demonstrated by “the elites” is demonstrated day after day after day after day. The thorough corruption of the “elites” is on full display as I write this.

Our side does not seek to control anyone. It bothers me not at all what these people do with their lives. If they choose to go smoke a crackpipe (lookin’ at you, Hunter!) or butcher their body into some form they are obsessed with, let them have at it. As long as they are adults, their lives are their own.

Two things:

1) They do not get to direct what we do. I am not subject to their fears, their ideals, or what they believe to be morality. In other words, they must mind their own business. We will mind ours.

2) They do not get to destroy minors (< 18). The combination of public education alongside media designed as propaganda aimed at kids is an absolute root cause to the wasteland we see around us today. Before 18, the best custodians and influences are biologically-related adults. Is it perfect? Not at all. There are a lot of fucked up families out there. For all that, though, it’s still better than any alternative that has ever been tried, and it’s the best we’ve got.

In the current moment, the specific manifestations of this doctrine:

1) Compulsory Covid mandates in the name of “Public Health” are all absolutely illegitimate. Bodily health is the absolute responsibility of the individual. Public health is best improved by giving individuals high quality information and letting each make his/her own decisions, based on his/her own life circumstances.

2) Censorship is anathema. All we need do is watch the “elites” for about a week to demonstrate that their “enlightened” worldview is yet another in the series of massive shitshows that happen periodically throughout history precisely when “elites” think they are blessed with greater insight than those they “lead”. Nobody is blessed with that insight. And their “information” is no better than ours. There is no “misinformation”. There is an infinity of information thrown at us all constantly. It has always been like this. The vast majority of all information attempting to describe “the social body” throughout history has been based on either delusion, deceit or both. They don’t know. We don’t know either, but we’re not claiming to, because we are not going to censor. Censorship must be eliminated. We’re all on our own. Time to step up as sovereign individuals and exercise our responsibility to sort through what comes our way each for ourselves. Information must be free, completely so.

3) CRT must be dismantled.

4) All physical procedures medically altering the bodies of minors in the service of some ideological image must be halted immediately. Upon age 18, they can make the determination as adults. Before that time, in the absence of illness, people who are not allowed to have a drink of alcohol are absolutely not in a position to decide to permanently alter the biological form they were born with. Adults suggesting children change themselves are acting out the adult’s own ideology, changing the body of another in their own narcissistic fantasy that they are “helping”. Absolutely not. No.

I’m sure there are more. The point is that a group of people has - yet again - designed a system they intend to force everyone to obey. The Catholic Church did it, the Nazis did it, the communists did and continue to do this around the world, and it never works. Ever.

All rules must respect and promote individual sovereignty. Where one person’s behavior interferes with others’ freedoms, rules are required. But no rule is legitimate that tells an individual what they must do, only what we are prevented from doing in the interests of maintaining the ability of others also to exercise their sovereignty.

The world will be chaotic. It always has been. The only thing worse than the chaos respect for individual sovereignty promotes is the enforced uniformity proposed by a small group of narcissistic, sociopathic “elites” for their own benefit. We’ve seen this movie play out so many times. How many more times do we need before we acknowledge it has a 0% success rate?

Look what’s happening around us as I write this. Is there any evidence whatsoever that these people have even an infinitesimal part of the wisdom they are claiming to have as justification for the destruction they are imposing on all of us?
