2020 was the year when many people became aware that they were living in a Corruptocracy. From Paul Rosenberg at freemansperspective.com:
(Originally published September 28, 2020.)
As we grew up, nearly all of us were inundated with stories of our glorious national fathers, our beautiful democracies, and so on. And being young, we for the most part believed them. The system gave us our prosperity, our comfort, our medicine, our sense of importance.
Soon enough we learned that the system was also stupid and perverse, but we found a way around that contradiction by blaming one segment of the system or another: The Blues or the Greens or the Reds were the problem; it could not, must not, be that the system itself is the problem.
Then came 2020, and the system revealed its true face.
I suppose I should be fair and add that the system wasn’t always as rotten as it is now, but regardless, it wasn’t able to prevent the rot that overtook it.
2020, In A Nasty Little Nutshell
The system would like everything except the daily outrages (one for the Blues, one for the Reds) to go down the Memory Hole. So I think it’s important to recap the revelations of 2020:
The system decreed who could work and who couldn’t. This was not done democratically; it was done by edict. “Democracy” did nothing to stop it.
People were arrested for going to church or synagogue. This was the real disgrace of the police forces. Are there any orders from their paymasters they won’t enforce upon us?
It dropped the mask, if you will. (s/)
Freedom?
Don’t pay your taxes or mortage and find out how “free” you are.
I love that elementary child’s quiz sheet with the question why do we pay taxes?
Answer: so we don’t get arrested.
A bright future awaits this one.
If taxes are the price we pay for civilization then all that went out the window with Burn it All Down Summer 1.0 in 2020.
