  1. We saw just how many obediant people there are five years ago, not just obedient but gleefully so; it was extremely dissappointing. Revealing the tangled web of interlocking and nested leverage coming from seemingly every direction throughout society was also enlightening. We live in a house of cards. Sometimes it’s good to have clarity so you can prepare appropriately.

    • Another disappointing thing was how it revealed the petty tyrant is so many people. So many enjoyed shaming others about masks, spacing, vax, etc. Many with a little bit of power really enjoyed being able to enforce these issues.

  2. “In a country where the sole employer is the State, opposition means death by slow starvation: The old principle: who does not work shall not eat, has been replaced by a new one: who does not obey shall not eat.” — Leon Trotsky, 1937 (quoted by Henry Hazlitt in “The wisdom of Henry Hazlitt”)

    • “employer” is a distinction pretty much created with the creation of the IRS.

      In an agrarian state, as the US once was, this is not an issue.

      Produce. Then trade with others who produce, in peer relationships. Don’t use the state’s ‘money’.

  3. Good comments all!
    I’m thinking our forefathers showed us the way on this one.
    We also have tried mountains of patience to get the tyrants to listen. But they never do. If even they can stop themselves.
    Since, BFYTW, is what they practice. It’s the only thing they understand.
    Their appeals to law is for YOUR compliance. Not theirs.
    Dis-obedience to tyranny should be everyone’s lifestyle.
