Understanding what's occurring right now takes a lot of thought and conjecture. For the first time in our history, it's clearly apparent we're absolutely facing an insurrection against our very foundations from within. When the rule of law contains duality of enforcement, there's tyranny. When opinions against theirs become censored, there's oppression. Persecutions against those who won't comply with mandates, freedom itself is lost. When our learning institutions become fortified to the extent they resemble prisons, the only thing that can be taught there is fear itself. Before the complicity and corruption of the media and politicians, three sides of politics existed. Republicans, Democrats, and Independent. Now, instead of functioning as a Republic, we're learning why democracies create serious problems. What's so hard to comprehend to me, however, is the lack of questioning what we're being fed. Everybody assumes everything they hear is the truth, when it's very frequently the antithesis of it. With the power of the internet at hand, people would rather take their quizzes and play games instead of educating themselves. Until people start realizing there's a finite quantity of everything, we're going to struggle. Endless money is a pipe dream. Endless support without effort is only a lie meant to gain support until power is attained, then it will be rescinded. The government doesn't earn money, they take it. This pandemic has taught those who DID work all along the unbalanced tradition of being ruled instead of governed. The wholesale redistribution of wealth earned by many to those who didn't is the proof of socialism, and when that becomes permanent, communism by necessity occurs in order to force compliance. Look at the forced labor occurring in Venezuela right now. Look to China and North Korea. History itself is replete with examples, which is why they stopped teaching it or only teaching the rewritten versions. Yet, people just go about their business and ignore the truth. To permit the truth to be overcome by propaganda will result in the death of truth itself given enough time. Then, you can bet it'll be outlawed. It's a question of atrophy over time. Yes, nefarious things are afoot. Everywhere. We've only got truth on our side, and if we continue to utilize it and speak it loud, it will never die. It will only die when people refrain from posting memes and slogans, and speaking up in spite of the ramifications and repercussions the narcissists insist on perpetrating. I cannot be convinced people will pursue it's death en masse. Mob rule only lasts long enough to satisfy the mob. Once satiated, they will luxuriate in their victories of the moment, which will become more and more fleeting. Then, lacking commonality, they'll be hard pressed to organize again. The aims of the mob will change. The rewards become slimmer and fewer. Just like drugs, the amounts to achieve the same desired result need to increase due to tolerance. Some require more than others, and the mobs reform and pursue different agendas. Eventually, it all falls apart just like the Roman empire. Out of a nation the size of ours, though, many will see and understand. They'll teach about it, but people won't listen. The cycle continues. Everybody is convinced they can build a better mousetrap. The cycle will continue until we unite as one and suppress this insidious attack on our nation.
