Why freedom is loosing

All over the world people keep protesting, every summit meeting seams to come with clashes with police and “street-parties” always seem to end in bloody battles and burning cars. The silent majority, however, is sitting at home swearing and cursing these hooligans wanting the police to use even more force. But when demonstrations and rallies go on in some distant land with a more openly oppressive regime people seem more willing to support the protesters. Maybe some abiding – and normally quiet – citizens even will write a letter to the local newspaper voicing their anger over how seemingly peaceful protesters are being shot. And this is our problem in a nut shell. I believe this apathy from “normal” people is one of the main reasons why our civil- and political liberties are deteriorating more and more. It is not wrong confronting the police, it is not wrong destroying building or setting things on fire, it is not wrong doing the dance of revolution. What’s wrong is that those normally doing those sorts of things are the ones that actually shouldn’t complain and the people that have things to rally against do nothing. The rioters are normally left wing extremists complaining about left wing policies. In a world were collectivism is king and stateism is regarded as a virtue it is hard to see how lefties can complain. Sure, okay, we do not have pink fluffy communism so those protesters probably want to force society closer to happier places like North Korea or bring back joyful paradises like the Soviet Union or Pol Pots Cambodia, but with massive taxation, regulations from our birth to the grave and not even having our bedrooms left alone, there is hard to see any reason for the left to complain.

The other group that keep ending up in the news as representatives for the “right” is neo-Nazis and fascists that also have a recurring notion about violence. Often enough these boneheads are regarded as scapegoats by their kinsmen – the lefties – that, in turn, claims that some violence is necessary to stop the “far right”. Both groups, however, believe in huge governments and total control of citizens. The only real difference is that the “far right” is more open about their true agenda.

In the meanwhile almost every government on the planet is now doing the entire job for these groups’ taking us one blissful step at the time towards totalitarianism: Big companies cannot fail – lets save them with enormous loans and lets print some money! Banks cannot falter – lets save those with government checks and some more newly printed money! And internet is bad, people are talking about the truth and sending news faster than the old controlled media, we cannot have that, let’s impose restrictions! And people might find child-pornography online, horrid thought; let’s ban sites all over the world! In the meanwhile we can let the old media keeping focus on some dead singer, a harmless flu, some scary animals, some singing babies and a man that pretends to be gay. And for God’s sake, always make the media say/write that the crisis is halting; we are seeing “green shoots”! During all this we can artificially keep interest rates down and keep pumping those funny notes into the economy that people use as “money” for some reason. Doing this creates more bubbles and those are always fun. Finally we need to restrict and impose hundreds of more laws on the already overcontrolled financial sector. We are using the financial sector and some rich people as scapegoats… shoosh don’t tell anyone…

And you, the people, buy this crap, as you always do. Our freedoms hardly exist at all anymore and totalitarianism is creeping closer for every day that passes and to be honest, it is the peoples own damn fault. If you idiots don’t realize what is going on and do a real rebellion aimed at those really responsible for our predicament, the totalitarians will soon have won and this time it is hard to see any way of turning back. We are so deeply in shit and hardly anyone smells it. If you are one of those that actually have a sense of smell, get a gun, you are going to need it sooner or later.
