Allowing Yourself to be Forced?

Uncategorized

I recently heard Bret and Heather Weinstein, the relatively famous (or infamous, depending on your persuasion) evolutionary biologists argue that government cannot legitimately force vaccination on the public because it has not yet met certain statistical and medical criteria. I’m not directly quoting them, of course, but that is the gist of their assertion. I like Bret and Heather, and I find much of what they say to be generally of the libertarian (classically liberal) mindset, which is good, but this is nonsense.

Boiled down, what they are saying is that the government cannot be allowed to use force against the people until it meets X, Y, or Z standard. Boiled down further, they are saying that force is something which can be allowed. Boiled down a third time is this: Rulers need permission to rule.

Here, of course, the massive contradiction is staggeringly obvious. “To be allowed to coerce” is a meaningless statement. If one allows something, then it’s not coercion, it’s cooperation. Cooperation is mutually exclusive of government. Government doesn’t cooperate, it governs…the verb is clearly seen in the noun. What does it mean to govern? It means to compel peoples’ behavior, regardless of their will, in accordance with Law, and the Law has no meaning absent a government to enforce it.

Government is authority, and authority is force. Force does not care what you think or are entitled to. You don’t allow government, it allows you. It demands, you obey. If the government believes that it is in the interest of its own power, you will be vaccinated whether you want it or not…and it doesn’t need your permission or to fulfill some kind of prerequisite checklist to do it. There is nothing to be allowed. The State will act in service to its power, period, always and forever, and if your resist it you will be in some way removed. End of story.

Coercion does not ask permission. On the contrary, coercion implies that no permission is necessary. It will not be sought; it will not be acknowledged. Government exists to force. That’s its nature. That’s all it will do, and that’s all it can do. To think that you can cooperate with it is to think you can cooperate with the wolves that are devouring your livestock. To end forced vaccinations, your going to have to say no. Not put it to a vote, not hope and pray for new politicians, not come up with some list of criteria that the government must meet.

But here’s the rub…because what’s I’m saying is that to stop forced vaccinations, or any act of the State, is to reject the government’s right to govern; to be, in some instance, the government. You see the problem? It takes quit a lot of cognitive dissonance to do this, because there is no spectrum of being ruled. One is either governed or one is not…its either/or. There are no real degrees. One is either a slave or one is free. So, we shall see.

Government Must Take Care of You Because of Your Existential Failure

The governor of New York will compel vaccination by State violence because, as she says, her number one job is to “keep people safe”.

This is a lie for many reasons, the most fundamental one being that the number one job of the government, any government, is, by definition, to govern. Not to steward; not to guide; not to cooperate; not to counsel; not to assist; not to organize. If government was any of these things, it would not be called government, because none of those things are rational synonyms for “to govern”. What is an acceptable synonym for “to govern” is “to force”, especially when we remember that governments govern according to a collectivist ethic, called the Law, and that the Law necessarily implies government force. This is because Law without force is merely suggestion, and “to suggest” is also not a rational synonym for “to govern”.

So, in short, the governor’s primary job is to expand State power at your expense, and she’s doing a great job. I’d mark her off some points for the lying, but fraud is merely one way in which government exploits the people in order to expand its power, so she’s actually quite an apt pupil all around, I’d say.

That being said, let’s assume that “keeping us safe” really is the government’s job. Who gets to define what “safe” means? Who gets to say what and/or whom we are to be kept safe from? Who gets to decide the means by which we are kept safe?

Well, the fact that the very existence government implies that you, the citizen, are incapable of governing yourself, and that left to your own consciousness, choice, will, and understanding as functions of your very root nature you would prove utterly insufficient to your own existence, and humanity would collapse into a pit of abomination and chaos. So the answer to the questions posed above is obviously “not you”.

What the governor of New York means when she says it is her number one job to keep you safe is that it is the government’s job to treat you like a perpetual infant, with an intrinsic fallen nature that makes you a liability to your own existence. It must keep you safe from yourself. And it will do this by owning and controlling your life to the point where there is no discernible difference between it and you.

What the government means when it claims that it shall keep you safe is that it intends consume you. Because, you see, there is no better protection for you from the folly of your own existence than death.

Government is a Corruption of Human Nature

Uncategorized,

Government is an unnatural state of man. Man’s nature is rooted in his ability to conceptualize himself and his environment, and thus to conceptually organize the distinction and orient and promote himself accordingly. Conceptualization is the seedbed of language, and language implies communication, and communication is shared between men, and, being a function of man’s basic nature, implies that communication via language is the root of human interaction. All men conceptualize, and thus all men share language…not necessarily the same language, of course, but at root, all men conceptualize and thus all men have the capacity to interact with all other men through language.

In short, communication via language is how all men naturally interact, and this from a conceptualizing nature which I submit implies a root existential equality between them. This existential equality, rooted in the conceptualizing nature, implies that the interaction of men must be utterly cooperative. Further, language is a merger of equal root existential natures, and therefore truly meaningful interaction can only be realized effectively, efficiently, and morally through cooperation.

To coerce another man rather than cooperate with him represents a de facto denial of that man’s root nature as a conceptualizing being, which denies existential equality, and this denial simply cannot be rationally defended. To force another man against his will is to also deny oneself. The outcome of this ultimately can only be confusion and chaos. On a mass scale, such as seen with governments, you will inevitably find war, mass murder, theft, exploitation, oppression, and eventual political and societal annihilation, as a cursory review of the history of all governments will prove.

Coercion is the antithesis of human nature. To coerce one’s fellow man is to presume an existential Authority and moral Superiority. For one man to rule another, or some men to rule other men, is to define and benchmark human existence by chaos, frustration, death, and meaninglessness.

Men coercing other men is the nature of government, and it is the denial of man, which means it is the death of man. Government is never a solution to man’s problems. It is not man when he is well, but man when he is sick.

Your Rulers Own Your Choices

Uncategorized

You hear this a lot from your masters in government: “Refusing the [medication] is your choice, but you will suffer the consequences if you do.” Or something along those lines. This is the typical bluster of the abuser—“Look what you made me do!”

Tyranny is not the fault of the master, you see, but of the slave. If you only obeyed, you would not need to be punished. This is how they sleep at night. The ball is always in your court…it’s always up to you. That they make all the rules and you are forced to play the game, well, that bit they always conveniently ignore.

What the ruling class is really asserting is the ownership of your choice, which of course means that you have no choice. What is being told to you is: “Choose what we want you to choose or we will disable or destroy your ability to make choices”. Meaning that if your refuse them they will steal your property, banish you from society, throw you in prison, pen you in a concentration camp, or murder you.

“Dictated choice” is a contradiction in terms.

The Brutal Nature of Government

Authority, government, government violence, ,

In order for government to truly act in the interests of the people, it must consider them as having equal or greater value. This means that the government either cooperates with or serves the people. But “serving” and “cooperating” are simply not the same thing as “governing”.

To conflate government with service and/or cooperation is dangerously naive. The relationship of subject to state is the relationship of prey to predator.
