Why You Should be Wary of Churches with “Grace” in the Name: The twisted doctrine of grace

Calvinism/Philosophy, Christian fallacy, Uncategorized, ,

My in laws moved just down the road from us this summer. Being the good conservative Christians that they are, they immediately began shopping around for a suitable church. After a few weeks they finally decided on the church which is even closer down the road to us than they are. The name of this church is the name of the town we live in followed by the words “Grace Church” For example, say we live in Frisbeegolfville, the name of the church is “Frisbeegolfville Grace Church”.

Anytime I see the word “grace” in a church’s name, I recoil. I was a member of Sovereign Grace Ministries for about 15 years, and let me tell you, it’s no accident that they use the term “grace” in the name. There is a good reason for this…it’s intentional, and it speaks heavily to the theology they promote, and it’s not a good theology. Not at all. “Grace” is a nice word…but it’s doctrinal meaning is anything but. When you see “grace” read “existential dead end”, and it should trigger your survival instinct. I’m not saying all churches with “grace” in their name are dangerous, but it’s highly probable there is hella cognitive dissonance going on in there, and this dissonance can be downright destructive and even criminal if in any significant way taken to praxis.

Here’s the problem with “grace”: Grace is a doctrine which is supposed to describe how God saves the un-savable; loves the un-lovable; values the valueless. It is contradiction upon contradiction, and it vaporizes man into oblivion by its impossible metaphysics.

Grace” isn’t just a pleasant word to describe how God benevolently deals with his children…as in he doesn’t necessarily leave them to wallow in the guilt and pain of poor choices, but will step into help or comfort them should they have the morality and wisdom enough to recognize their mistakes, confess them to Him, ask for help in humility, and make some kind of commitment to doing better. Something like that, I suppose. No, in Christian doctrine, particularly of the Calvinist persuasion which so many Christians unfortunately presume is nothing more than good old fashioned Biblical Truth, “grace” is a sinister euphemism which implies a complete rejection of man at the most fundamental level. In other words, the doctrine of grace is an ontological description of man whereby he is condemned as being too evil to possess any useful or efficacious existence at all. It is the idea that one’s self is an illusion…that the unsaved man is pointless, and the saved man is just a manifestation of God, Himself, and thus is equally pointless. Those whom God “elects” to save are simply replaced by God (i.e. the Holy Spirit acting through man); those whom God does not elect are annihilated because they lack any intrinsic value or purpose. Of course the unsaved are called evil, but this is little more than an empty invective as their evil can never actually amount to any meaningful disruption of God’s will. The fact that they are evil is entirely irrelevant. They are said to be evil, but really they are nothing.

I know all that is a mouthful, and I’ve probably confused you. Please bear with me.

The doctrine of grace proceeds from the doctrine of Original Sin (neither of which are biblical, by the way…cobbled together by some fast and loose interpretations of the literature). Original sin states that we are all born with the mark of Adam and Eve’s disobedience. We are tainted at birth, and this evil pervades every aspect of our existence. What this means in practicality is that no distinction can be made between Evil and one’s very Self. There is no part of man which is not tainted, physically/spiritually/psychologically, and so it is impossible to describe man as anything other than evil, incarnate. Man’s original sin means that he is not actually man but is only evil. That is, Original Sin means that man IS Sin, itself, and not actually man at all.

I feel like I’m still confusing you…not your problem, but mine.

Think of it this way—say a person has cancer, but the doctors, upon examining his body, discover that there is literally no area which is not fully cancerous. At that point the man doesn’t have cancer, he is cancer, Now, extend that cancer to his mind and soul and you have a good metaphor for Original Sin.

Naturally Christians, upon seeing the doctrine exposed in its stark, psychotic fullness, recoil and condemn it as being a misguided oversimplification…and when it comes from a former Calvinist like me they call it heresy. It isn’t the former, but I’ll concede the latter…at least technically. I think they are the true heretics, but that’s by the by.

They will say things like, “Original sin doesn’t mean that man IS evil, only that, left to himself, his nature is such that he has a tendency toward evil.” I submit that Christians seem to have trouble distinguishing between “tendency” and “inexorable and unrelenting”. “Tendency” presumes that truly benevolent behaviors and ideas are performed, just not as frequently as malevolent ones. That’s NOT Original Sin. All behaviors and ideas are fully “tainted” with sin, which makes all behaviors and ideas fully sinful. All actions and thoughts and choices are infused with and corrupted by sin. Were you to parse those actions, thoughts, and choices down to their sub-parts, and those sub-parts into further sub-parts, and so on, you’d also find that they too are infused with sin. Do you see what I mean? Ask a Christian to describe for you where the sinful parts of body, mind, and soul end and the healthy parts begin. They simply cannot do this. This is because original sin is a function of man’s very existence, and you cannot parse existence down to components or categories. Something which exists IS. And IS is absolute. Man IS (i.e. man exists); man’s IS (i.e. man’s existence) is corrupted by sin, therefore man IS SIN. It’s a simple logical deduction. Furthermore, and not to put too fine a point on it, when tendency becomes the only thing you do, and always, because it’s a determinative aspect of your very existence—meaning, when faced with a choice to do or think evil or good you always choose evil—it’s no longer tendency, it’s your root nature.

Okay, that’s all well enough, but what does that have to do with grace?

If man is evil incarnate, as Original Sin demands (the equivocation and appeals to “divine mystery” you find in church notwithstanding) then both the saved and the unsaved find themselves in pretty much he exact same ontological position, just with different (and these differences are fundamentally irrelevant) manifestations. Both the saved and unsaved man are perpetually and fully sinful. For man who IS sin (i.e. born in Original Sin) his only real experience is that of “un-personing” or “un-being”—there is no man, only Sin.

What this means for salvation is the following: man who is saved is saved utterly in spite of himself; and man who is unsaved is condemned utterly in spite of himself. Original sin makes man’s very existence irrelevant. The doctrine of Grace then is supposed to explain how God deals with man when “man” becomes entirely without substance…an ontological exercise in futility.

Since man is born in sin, and indeed IS sin, then he clearly has no real means of expressing himself…he has no efficacious will and thus no real choice because any knowledge he possesses is subordinate to his sin instinct, making knowledge irrelevant. Man has no choice but to be and do evil, and therefore whatever knowledge he is said to possess is pointless to him. He cannot act in service to knowledge, he cannot make any real value judgements and then choose and act accordingly, but can only act service to what is his instinctual sin. Since man then is driven fully by sin, and thus is in all practicality sin, itself, man isn’t really man at all. He is the incarnation of Sin…he is a force of nature so to speak, not a consciousness…not thinking, nor feeling, nor valuing, nor choosing. He is, in short, not himself at all. So there is no man then to save. Man, being sin, has absolutely no value to God. Man presents as the very antithesis of God’s nature and character. So when God “saves” someone, well, it’s important to remember that man, being reduced to sin incarnate, doesn’t really exist to be saved in the first place.

What this means is that God cannot actually extend salvation TO anyone. There is no one to save, because whoever might have been been there to be saved has been eradicated by Adam’s inexorable, indelible, and absolute mark.

Who then is God saving? Well, you could say that God is saving himself. The saved person, according to the doctrine, is infused with the Holy Spirit—this is God’s grace to “him”—and it is this Spirit which acts then in accordance with God’s will, and can receive God’s love and hear God’s Truth and can act in service to that truth. Indeed, you will hear this all the time:

“How are you doing?” one asks the SAVED person.

“Better than I deserve,” is the pat reply.

One would think that one who is capable of doing good would thus deserve whatever benevolent and prosperous outcomes follow from this good, but notice how the knee-jerk response, even implicitly so, is to explain that even though one is (supposedly) saved and loved and given the power to know good and to act upon it one is still in this perpetual state of inability, insufficiency….evil. Even the saved person has been conditioned by the doctrine to accept that he is, at root, still just a sinful wretch, incapable of anything except expressions of evil, and thus undeserving of anything but hell and divine hatred.

What this means is that even the Christian understands that he has not really changed; that all that divine love and blessing and salvation of which he is the recipient is really not for him at all, but only for the Holy Spirit which acts “through” him…somehow…it is never really explained how the Holy Spirit can be compatible with that which represents the categorical antitheses of Himself, but whatever…it’s all mysticism, and we all know it…even as we try to ignore the cognitive dissonance, we still know it’s there. In other words, when Christians speak of the Holy Speaking working “through” them, they really mean that God is acting in spite of them. All good things that the saved man does, speaks, thinks, or experiences—all this grace—is to be attributed to God, not to man. This is because they understand, even if many of them cannot properly articulate it, that they are entirely irrelevant in their “personal relationship with Jesus”. They are still as sinful and wicked as the day they were born…their new “standing” in Christ, their “rebirth”, is merely academic. Whatever good they do is God; whatever good they experience is because of God and in spite of their evil, which sill pervasively characterizes the whole of their being. Whatever misfortune they experience and sin they commit is because they are, even after salvation, purely wicked in nature and being. Within the saved man is this infinite schism of identity…they are both Good and Evil together, but not really. .

This is grace, then. Meaning that God somehow gives one salvation and peace in spite of one’s perpetual and pervasive Original Sin. The truth though is that when God acts in spite of you because of what you ontologically ARE, then God doesn’t actually regard you at all. God cannot love you, nor extend you grace, because your very being represents what he must necessarily hate. God cannot value you because you embody that which God must necessarily consider valueless.

The doctrine of Grace implies a perpetual separation of man from God, and renders salvation not only completely arbitrary—because there could be no reason why God would choose to elect one utterly wicked soul instead of any other utterly wicked soul—but makes God out to be some kind of dabbler in madness and nonsense. Of course Christians will disagree…they will say that it’s not madness, only mystery. God’s ways are not our ways. Yet if we have no frame of reference for “God’s ways” because they necessarily present to us as a contradiction in terms (e.g. absolute Evil (fallen man) is compatible with absolute Good (God)), then such a mystery must always be perfectly mysterious, which renders it meaningless. In other words, a question which can have no answer (e.g. How can God save that which is utterly un-savable?) isn’t actually a question. It’s just noise.

But don’t worry….you won’t have to suffer the exasperation of having to explain this, or even simply discuss this kind of thing with most Christians. Ironically, those who profess to believe so ardently in things they would consider to be of supreme importance seem to spend and desire to spend as little time as possible actually thinking through their beliefs. As a general rule I have noticed that Christians do not like being challenged on their doctrines, and any attempts to reveal to them the strict and narrow rational limits of their ideas are almost always punted away with an appeal to some ineffable divine “mystery’…a mystery which somehow will be cleared up at some point when they get to heaven. Or not. They don’t really seem to care.

Ah, the palliative of “mystery”. The world collapses around you, but it’s all in God’s hands, right? What can you do anyway? You have no real power because you don’t really exist at all. Drink a toast to divine mystery and make a virtue out of object failure and presto! Faith!

Anyway, be wary of “grace”. It might not mean what you think it means.

You Were Always Living in a Totalitarian State, You Just Didn’t Know It

collectivist metaphysics, government, law, Uncategorized, , ,

It’s always both unnerving and amusing to see people wringing there hands over the draconian and totalitarian measures western governments are taking to “fight” the “pandemic”, as though such measures are anathema to these governments and the documents which inform them. Only when we realize that these measures are a natural and predictable product of our governments, as for all governments, will we truly understand what we are up against and how to efficaciously response to it.

This isn’t particularly hard to understand, it’s only that the truth has been buried in thousands of years of ruling class apologetics. The one, uniquely singular, fundamentally unchanging, common denominator in virtually all of humanity’s ills over the course of its history has been the State, and yet the State remains safely hidden behind legions of blind followers and eloquent rulers and stacks of cumbersome academic volumes extolling its virtues, no matter how dreadfully it behaves or how disastrous and destructive its policies and no matter how infantile and hedonistic and psychopathic its members. Government creates problems and then rushes in pretending to be the solution and yet the cognitive dissonance of the masses simply fills in the logical gaps, regular as clockwork.

Government exists because of the metaphysical premise that man’s nature is insufficient to his own existence. Man’s ability to understand truth and to exercise his will morally in service to truth is considered fundamentally broken (man is “pervasively” or “totally depraved” in his nature, the Protestants and Catholics might say). If left to himself, man will give in to his natural selfishness and move to sacrifice all others to himself, resulting in total chaos, plenary moral atrocity, and ultimately the extinction of the species. The solution is for some small group of men/women, or a single man/woman to be divinely appointed by some Divine Transcendent Power, which informs the Collective Ideal, to use divine authority to force by violence and threats of violence the masses into obedience. The behavior to which the masses are to be compelled is codified, yet can be quite fluid, and is called the Law. In short, the whole point of government is for one group of people to entirely deconstruct all others. Government shall destroy humanity and the environment in which it expresses itself. Period. That’s why governments are always overseeing the worst atrocities in human history, from chattel slavery to mass starvation to the A-bomb. And if you have a lot of questions and are seeing some massive contradictions…congratulations. I told you this wasn’t that hard. Nothing about the state makes any rational sense because it’s entirely mystical at its philosophical foundations. It’s irrational by nature. Don’t let anyone lie to you, there is no such thing as a secular government. All governments are religious at root.

But what about our free democracies, our republics, our self-government, our constitutions?

Stop being so gullible.

Self-government? There is no such thing as collective self-government because your SELF isn’t a collective, it’s individual. You obey the law, and the law is behavior that is biding upon people collectively. That is not self-government, that is obedience to he who enforces the law. For you to “govern” yourself is to act according to your own will and that is the complete opposite of the law, which doesn’t care what you will or want or think. You obey, or you get hurt or worse.

Just think about it for a minute and ask yourself if this really makes sense. How do you codify freedom into law? You take behaviors that you decide illustrate freedom, codify them, even just implicitly so, and then institute a government to force (euphemistically called “encourage”) men to engage in these behaviors. In other words, freedom becomes binding upon men under threat of death, incarceration, or other punishment.

What could possibly go wrong with this logic?

And we wonder how it is that we wake up in 2021 and find ourselves in a world of medical apartheid and technocratic totalitarianism.

For you to be under the authority of the State in service to your freedom is a contradiction. For the law to compel by force a society which shall perpetuate the freedom of the individual is a contradiction. For the government to give you no choice but to act in service of your freedom is a contradiction, It is saying that you shall have no choice but to exercise free choice. It’s incoherent on its face. Freedom is individual will, choice, cooperation, and responsibility for the consequences of one’s own actions. Freedom is morality. The government is the rejection of individual will, the denial of choice, coercive, and at root is nothing more than punishment for disobeying the ruling class. Government is legality.

Government by the people for the people is a nice sentiment, but it’s fundamentally irrational. The government placed in authority over the people cannot be simultaneously under the people, and to attempt to institute such contradiction among men can only result in chaos…and this will naturally be blamed on the people, and their freedom. It’s downright Kafkaesque.

See? They just can’t handle freedom. Too much freedom is the problem.

And here we are.

If men were meant to be free there would be no need for government in the first place. This is the premise which informs all governments at all times in all places. There is no such thing as a free society of men under government…it’s a lie. You were always living in a totalitarian State, you just didn’t know it.

The “Consciousness is an Illusion” Fallacy

Uncategorized, ,

When it is said that X is an illusion, it is meant that what is perceived as X is really Y. Once the false perception is corrected, we can understand the difference: what we are actually perceiving is different from what we thought we were perceiving.

The correction of the false perception reveals that the perception of X as Y cannot be categorical. Meaning that X cannot always by everyone be perceived as Y, because if everyone always perceives X as Y, then it cannot be known that there is in fact a difference; and thus it cannot be known that X is an illusion. As far as anyone can ever know or say, X is simply X

This is precisely the problem we run into when we posit that consciousness is an illusion. To say that what we perceive as consciousness (the awareness of a singular metaphysical Self) is in reality something else implies that a difference can be known—that the false perception can be corrected. However, since consciousness is a frame of reference for perception, itself, it can never be perceived that consciousness is something else. It can never be perceived that “I” am actually “not I” because the perception of such a distinction requires the frame of reference of “I” in the first place. Put another way, the frame of reference of he who makes the distinction between the illusion and what the illusion actually is cannot itself be the illusion.

A distinction between the “illusion of consciousness” and what consciousness “actually is” is something which no one, anywhere, at any time, can perceive. Thus, any claim regarding such a distinction is necessarily false. Further, I would add that since consciousness necessarily implies choice and will, any claims as to the illusory nature of these things must also be false. Much more could be said of choice and will, of course, but we will leave it for now.

Physical Law Must Be a Product of Consciousness

Uncategorized,

I posit this:

Physical law is a cognitive organizational construct; it is conceptual in the purest abstract sense of the word. It possesses no material characteristics; it cannot directly interact with material, empirical reality, but only indirectly as a means by which man conceptually organizes his environment. It therefore has no determinative power to exercise over material, empirical reality.

The assertion that physical law exists outside of the human mind, and possesses utterly non-abstract existent properties, and is thus discovered and observed, and is in essence something empirical, and is of the environment, not of the mind, presents with a number of rationally irreconcilable propositions. Here are just a few:

The determinism.

If physical law determines the actions (and reactions) of objects, what then determines physical law? Physical law is the determinative force. Whatever action it takes in order to effect the inevitable determined object outcome must take place. But if we say that the actions of physical law are not themselves determined then we are saying that those actions do not not necessarily need to take place. Therefore, the object outcome which physical law governs likewise does not necessary need to take place, and thus is not necessarily inevitable, and thus is not necessarily determined. A determinative force, like physical law, would require a determinative force to govern its actions…and so on and so forth…a perpetual regression. Therefore, physical law cannot be determinative, and therefore is not law.

The distinction.

That physical law governs objects presumes a distinction between physical law and those objects. If this is the case, then can we not say that it is the properties of the objects themselves which dictate their behavior and not physical law? But if we argue that these properties are themselves a function of physical law, how can it be said that there is an actual distinction between physical law and the objects it governs? There could be no distinction. Without a distinction there can be nothing for physical law to govern and therefore physical law is not actually law.

The observer.

If the observer is a direct function of physical law then how can he observe it from a distinct frame of reference…a reference which is required in order that observation can actually occur? If there is no such frame of reference, and thus no observation, and thus no observer, then who or what defines physical law as being, in fact, physical law? If there exists no one to declare a thing a thing then to whom or what is that thing relevant? There is no one and nothing. Without relevancy there is no purpose, and if there is no purpose there is no meaning, and without meaning there is no definition, and without definition nothing can be said to exist. If what exists cannot be defined, how can it be said to exist? “What exists?” is a question with no possible answer.

Physical law taken beyond man’s mind is a rational disaster.

Government Managing Your Risk…

Uncategorized,

…is predicated on the assumption that you are unable, fundamentally (as in, as a function of your nature as a human individual) to manage it yourself. In other words, government exists to protect man from his intrinsically fallen nature; without the state, man is at the mercy of his root vice and irresistible lust for all things evil (how “evil” is defined is ultimately up to the government, conveniently) eventually leading to a dystopia, then an apocalypse which will drive mankind extinct. Man’s capacity for reason and cooperation is no match for the depraved nature which forms the core of his being.

Government, in short, exists to save man from himself. Now, how the ruling class obtains special dispensation from its own fallen nature—they are human beings, after all—is really just a matter of mysticism, once you remove all of the cluttering doublespeak about “leadership” and “public service” and “free elections” and whatnot. Ultimately it boils down to this: the philosopher kings are granted their political authority (the “legitimacy’ of coercive violent force) by divine decree, given by God, or gods, or even the “laws” of nature, or evolution (e.g. genetic gifted-ness), the “laws” of social science, etc. etc. or a combination of these kinds of things.

There is much more to say about this, but with respect to government risk management, this about sums up the relationship between ruler and ruled.

To wrap it up, the managing of your risk by the philosopher kings of the state inevitably becomes the dictating to you what actually constitutes risk, to what degree something is or is not a risk, what risks are worth the risk, and what risks you will or will not assume whether you like it or not.

Risk management is behavior management, is life management, is the death of the individual, is the death of mankind. Ironic.

Legality and Morality: Completely opposite ethical systems

Uncategorized, , , , ,

We often see law and morality, or legality and morality, as corollary, or interchangeable. However, the category of Value, speaking philosophically, known as Ethics, is not an admixture of morality and legality, but rather may contain either/or, depending on how we define the nature of reality, and from that how we define truth and falsehood (metaphysics and epistemology, respectively), but never both. Because the truth is that Legality and Morality are mutually exclusive ethical paradigms. The former is an ethical structure which exists outside of the individual at the metaphysical level and consequently is something to which the individual must be coerced by an Authority which necessarily disregards his will. The individual’s will comes from inside himself, and the ethical primary, the Law, is outside of him…he is obligated to it, irrespective of his will. That’s why its the Law, you see.

The latter, morality, is an ethical paradigm and system where the individual is the ethical standard, and individuals cooperate—which implies the use of individual will, not its rejection—in service to each other’s success and happiness. A violation of morality is a violation of the individual’s essence…his conceptualizing nature, and thus his will, and from that his choices, and from that his labor and property. Consequence for moral violations can range from a refusal to cooperate with the perpetrator of the violation, up to his destruction or restraint depending on the level of severity. This can be done cooperatively by moral people, and this cooperation does not necessitate or constitute government. Rather, it is a group of individuals who recognize their individual worth and will cooperate with each other in order to protect and promote it.

Much more can be said about morality and its practical application specifically, but I will leave it for now. I will only add that A. Morality is fundamentally a much easier ethic to define, contrary to opinions about morality being categorically subjective (Hume’s guillotine and whatnot), and much less prone the kinds of chaos and confusion and irrationality which lead to things like 2500 page bills being put to a vote in the US Congress whilst giving no conscientious representative any reasonable amount of time to read it. And B. That to reject law is NOT to reject ethics. Lawlessness does not necessarily mean the absence of ethical value. It can, and should, if we are being rational, mean that one rejects ethics via coercion and violence by an authority of the group in favor of ethics via cooperation and mutual appreciation for the individual at the root existential level. In other word, morality is through love of the individual, legality through the hatred of him. If you will permit me a slight irony, morality is the “Law of Love”.

The Law is a collectivist ethic—a set of ethical values that affirm a Collective Ideal (the Nation, the People, the Tribe, the Race, the Socialist Utopia, etc,). Because this Law is collective, the individual is disregarded for the group—conformity to the group is something not intrinsic to the individual’s nature, so he is compelled into it by the authority of the State, which acts as the incarnation of the Collectivist Ideal on earth. When I say “State”, of course, I primarily mean the Government. (For philosophical purposes, the two are usually interchangeable.) When I say “Government”, I mean any individual or set of individuals which claim authority over the group to compel the group by force into “legal obligations”. Authoritative force is corollary to Law; without this force, the law is nothing more than suggestion. “Suggestion” and “Legal Obligation” are about as synonymous as “freedom” and “slavery”, or “life” and “death”. Appeals by the State to an individual’s legal obligations, codified or merely asserted, are often couched in manipulative terms such as “collective good”, or “social contract”, etc. etc.. In realty, there is no such thing as the “collective”. Human beings are metaphysically individual. We have a single and singular conscious frame of reference. We say “I”. The group is nothing more than individuals who share a conceptual framework for reality in language, and in turn, may cooperate to achieve individual ends which, taken in aggregate, may, and usually will, benefit the group of individuals. “Collective responsibility” is an appeal to some esoteric, ethereal, utterly subjective, and utterly abstract “Collective Ideal” which no individual can ever access because their frame of reference, as an individual, is mutually exclusive of it; and yet he must somehow recognize its virtue and sacrifice himself to it. If he does not, he will be sacrificed to it by the Authority. Government officials should more realistically be considered as a mystic priest class, which claims to possess some transcendent knowledge and connection to the divine Ideal which you, the mere pew sitter, cannot possess, because, well..just because. That’s the thing, there is no explanation that you can understand because your very existence precludes this. It’s about faith, you see, not actual understanding.

The idea of a separation between church and state is a noble one, but utterly impossible to achieve. The church is the state; the state is the church. There will never be any other way.

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

Uncategorized,

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

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.
