When law enforcement became a growth industry, liberty minded free men became endangered.

[Technically, this is probably true. But law enforcement as a growth industry is a symptom. Politicians, in defiance of their constitutional limits, creating all the laws which made law enforcement a growth industry are the source of the problem.—Joe]
Spot on Joe. As in Nancy & Chuck starting their own new police force, the Capital Police. With offices to be opened in Kali. and Florida. (With one close to us all soon.)
Got to hunt down those evil white extremists. Think they will be filling the roll of the “Soviet Political Officer?” With at least one or two for every local commissar?
Or more like the Gestapo/SS?
Law Enforcement is both a problem and a symptom of a problem.
” But law enforcement as a growth industry is a symptom. Politicians, in defiance of their constitutional limits, creating all the laws which made law enforcement a growth industry are the source of the problem.”
Precisely. This is like a housemaid, who wants to hire more housemaids, and those housemaids want to hire groundskeepers, and pool boys, and so on. At first the home owner may go along with it, even thinking it a good idea, but eventually the Housemaid’s Union ends up with more and more authority, and eventually leverages to owning the house and land, and the original owner is thrown out or murdered.
When the revenue stream dries up, and the food is gone and the assets have been sold or carried off, they go somewhere else and do it again. This is the story of the world.
Liberty-minded free men must be aware of that story. They were always endangered, even in the best of times. Especially in the best of times, because that’s when the deadly complacency sets in. They got complacent, thinking they could live and let live and even get along, eventually forgetting that there is real evil in the world, and then any evil they saw they attributed instead to stupidity and lack of foresight. They then believed, in their pride, that they could change the behavior of the evil (because it was never really evil but misguidedness) by teaching them the error in their ways.
This is like seeing a bank robber and then having the kind of pride that says you can convince him stop robbing banks by informing him that bank robbery is illegal.
It won’t stop until it is stopped, but now it’s roughly100 years too late for that. There is not one political party, not one religion, government or military on earth that is even talking seriously about stopping it, much less making actual plans. The best you’ll get is cynical lip service, to string you along like a poor battered woman. You’ll actually believe that if you say the right words, the abuse will stop and the abuser will start loving you again. But he never loved you in the first place. It was only ever an act.
And we can’t get out of that battered woman syndrome because it would mean acknowledging our own role in the relationship, that we were so easily duped, over and over and over again, and we’re still looking, even now, even hoping, to be duped yet again. And so we’ll be duped again because we want it. It’s all we’ve ever known. It’s that simple. And so we’ll support and cheer for the next liar who tells us the nice, sweet, beautifully crafted lies we want to hear. The better, the more skillful and clever the liar the more we’re attracted to him. And all the best liars of the world know this very well, and so this is going to get really dark.
And so we might like to think of ourselves as liberty-minded free men, and it’s a wonderful thought, or dream, or image, but to what extent are we actually battered women? I suppose the answer to that is the extent to which we think we can, under any circumstances, good, bad or indifferent, ever get along, living side-by-side with our abusers, even supporting them as we now do. But they can tell such good lies!
