Fighting oppression and civil disobedience are individual decisions. From Allan Stevo at lewrockwell.com:
The 38-member Blue Ribbon Committee to Protect Society from Itself has met and determined that this is the best way to lift the quarantine.
There are panels of Harvard MDs, Yale PhDs, government economists, and beltway attorneys who today seek a voice in how the quarantines should be lifted.
They are the same people who placed the quarantines on us.
Not only should they not have a say, they should lose their jobs in the very near future, and should be grateful that we live in an era that does not deal with the tyrant and his advisors like they’ve been dealt with for the majority of recorded history.
Historical Betrayals Of Trust Dealt With Harshly
From the tyrant Julius Caesar, to Heliogabalus and many in his court, much of recorded history from the ancients and beyond recount an often repeated solution for officials who had betrayed trust.
Murray Rothbard points out “It was a medieval tradition to justify tyrannicide of unjust rulers who break the divine law.”
The Byzantine minister Nikephoritzes, who created food shortages and taxed harshly was tortured to death after his ruler abdicated.
It continued into the modern period. In response to a secessionist movement, Abraham Lincoln, in his relatively short time in office provoked civil war and led the decimation of his country, eventually being killed by someone decrying “Sic semper tyrannis,” invoking the timeless guidance of how to deal with a person in a position of trust who has proven untrustworthy.
