Safety will be the death of us. From Jeff Einstein at lewrockwell.com:
[Above: Andrew Tate, Sir Laurence Olivier and Dustin Hoffman discuss safety…]
So far, the official 21st-century narrative of the ruling elite has been all about sacrificing freedom for safety: safety from foreign terrorism, safety from offensive language, safety from financial collapse, safety from Putin, safety from Covid, and — more recently and most ominously — safety from domestic terrorism. In the past few generations we’ve gone from God-fearing to fearing everything except God.
Freedom is a spiritual life force. The manufactured urge to swap freedom for safety, here and in other Western democracies, represents a spiritual crisis of Biblical proportion — just as it did in the former Soviet Union and still does in Communist China, North Korea, and Cuba. It reflects a premeditated and deliberate elimination of religious faith, and — in the absence of faith — gives rise to a dearth of hope.
According to Mussolini, a man who might have known, Fascism is corporatism: the marriage of state and corporate power. The first order of business for all fascist regimes — whether they manifest in primarily theocratic, democratic, free-market, or socialist economies — is the elimination of organized religion to make way for the new religion of the state. It happened in Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, China, North Korea and Cuba. It is happening right now in Western Europe under the EU, in Canada under Justin Trudeau, and here at home in the U.S. under Joe Biden.
