So you want to be free? Then become free! All the freedom is yours which you are able to seize! How do you seize freedom? By avoiding, evading, escaping, discouraging, overpowering, destroying, or otherwise frustrating anyone who initiates force or the threat of force against you.
Do you beg for freedom? - "But the oppressors ignore my pleas for freedom," you complain. Do you expect them to set you free?
As you yourself point out, your oppressors have the morals of a wild animal. As long as you obey their so-called "rules", no matter how onerous, and pay their so-called "taxes", no matter how burdensome - why should they set you free? - why should they relinquish the easy life of a control freak parasite?
"And the oppressors dupe my neighbors who are confused, unaware, and apathetic," you protest. Do you expect them not to deceive? - not to tame their flocks? The herdsman can milk only tame cows; the shearer can shear only submissive sheep; the tyrant can drive only obedient slaves...
"We must overturn the oppressors," some of you proclaim, "and rule wisely and justly in their place." Then go do it - if you can! But don't be surprised when the oppressors stampede their bewildered subjects against you. And of course they have many enforcers that are looking for a reason to use their fancy weapons against a divergent slave! Just ask Bryan Malinowski. Oh wait, you can’t. He was murdered because he didn’t pay $200 for a Federal Firearms License.
"We must educate - teach increasing numbers our values and ideas," others shout. "And some day truth will prevail and evil will be banished from the earth." But as even you admit in your more reflective moments, this will take time - much time. So how shall you live the only life you will ever have? And how many followers can you attract and hold if you offer only visions of a paradise for their great grandchildren?
"I do want freedom," you cry. "But there is no way to get it now - no chance to elect, no means to revolt, and no place to go." I reply: If you want freedom, seize it.
"But my oppressors are organized into a powerful government, an omnipotent state - their laws shackle me," you object. "And they have thousands of agents and millions of police." I reply: However, each of their minions has only the same two eyes, the same two hands, and usually not as much brains as you or I. They are individuals. They cannot be everywhere. They cannot see everything. They cannot understand everything. They cannot do everything. You do not have to obey them.
"But they collect a tax on my earnings before I even see it," you protest. Only if you are so craven as to hand it over. Discover ways to avoid their extortions: Get your earnings under your own control; trade with those who practice freedom; or be a Gypsy who sells - and flees!
"But they will confiscate my property," you quaver. Only if you are so foolish as to lead them to it. Convert your wealth into forms you can conceal. Put it where they can't get at it. And rent your shops and homes - or mortgage them to the hilt.
"But they will throw me in jail," you object. Only if you are so careless as to stumble over them - they who have trouble apprehending real criminals and fellow psychopaths. Make yourself difficult to find.
"But that is too much trouble," you complain. "I would rather follow their rules and pay their taxes - lick their boots and hone their axes - do everything they demand - and maybe, oh maybe, they will leave me alone just a little." Then tag along with the sheep to slaughter, you who expect freedom on a silver platter. For how long can you appease the tyrant who will demand more and more freedom, until he owns you completely?
I’ve said this many times. Evil thrives, not because of exceptional people, but because of ordinary, unexceptional people. Hannah Arendt coined the phrase “Banality of Evil”. Because of her thesis, she was ostracized by the “intellectual community.” Why would these “intellectuals” feel so insulted by her work? She was a Jew that not only studied her own religious theology, but she studied Christian theology as well. She was truly brilliant, escaped persecution and the murdering of Jews in her own country, came to the US where she became a professor, attended the Nuremberg trials and wrote the book Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil. She was so spot on that, and this happens regularly, she was shunned by the Elites. Elites today twist her concepts to support their own muddled totalitarian ideas much like they’ve done with the New Testament or similar old and ancient texts. There are so many layers of false illusions, one can barely begin examining what truth is. But Truth is being revealed to us now more than ever. Perhaps why we’re being squeezed through the eye of the needle., it’s all coming to a head, exposed. Out of the ashes who will survive? Will it be the Psychopathic Corporatists using Communism, etc., chaos, fear and lies as their tools for success or will it be Freedom loving, Truth loving people ready to build once again strong communities, healthy families, healing medical facilities, producing healthy meats and vegetables, water and energy leading optimistic hopeful lives free of the shackles of authoritarian propagandized governments? God is powerfully, we, who are created in His image are powerful, faith, hope, optimism is powerful. The only power Evil has are what people, who are greedy, corrupt, who feel too inadequate to live honest truthful lives, give it and good people who sit back, do nothing and allow it to flourish. Are you going to choose slavery or break free and take some risks, your Faith in what is good and truthful will see you through a very chaotic and difficult time. A difficult time we all will journey through no matter which side you pick. Don’t leave future generations scratching their head wondering how on earth anyone could have allowed it to happen.
"By keeping silent about evil and burying it deep within so that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age, we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice frombenesth new generations."
- Alexander Solzhenitsyn
