Have you noticed how the elite is bent on creating the perfect serf? From ensuring we are unarmed to pushing pot – yeah, America needs more of a drug that makes people lazier and less interesting – to hyping the pandemic, everything the ruling caste has been doing lately seems focused on turning us into drones. And far too many people are just letting it happen.
And now the US government will be pimping BLM to foreigners. Great. How could that go wrong? Our nonpartisan government is now fully partisan – weren’t norms important just a few months ago?
Building The Perfect Serf
With a hat-tip to Aaron, whose tweet alerted me to the painfully dumb meme of the commie gov of Pennsylvania, the campaign to change Americans from proud, industrious citizens into submissive, dependent subjects is going full-throttle. The governor, recently rebuked by the citizens who voted away his dictatorial flu powers in a welcome bit of push-back, decried the fact people can buy guns from each other without his permission but can’t have dope without a medical ID card – I guess requiring ID for getting high is as onerous as it is for voting. So, in his optimal universe, people can’t get arms to protect themselves unless he thinks it’s okay and grants them a dispensation to do so, but it should be open season at the dope dispensary. And, of course, they have to be masked while doing it, at least until they wrap their lips around the bong.
Being able to defend yourself: Bad.

Being masked all the time: Better.
Guns allow people to break the monopoly on force held by the government, creating a limit to what the government can do. No wonder liberals hate that. This right gives people the impression that the consent of the governed matters. Bunch of wicked “insurrectionists” they are, daring to think they should possess some sort of ultimate veto power over their betters!
Marijuana, conversely, creates awesome subjects. Stupid, lazy, and most of all, dependent. At least cocaine made people do something – pot puffers just sit around drooling, gobbling Doritos and generally wasting valuable life. With the new strains that are much more powerful than the grass the stoners at my high school were rolling into doobies in the 80s, and the ubiquity of it in places like California, make it a particular threat to the well-being of the citizenry. Anesthetizing the masses with THC a win-win for the elite. It gives them tax money and pliable, dumb constituents.
Then there is the pandemic panic and all that went with it, a training event designed to inculcate total obedience in the population. Wear your face diaper. Give up your small businesses and let the giant corporations take over. Don’t dare ask questions. No dissent will be tolerated.
If you wanted a nation of slaves, isn’t this exactly how you would go about creating it?
Our State Department Is Garbage
Human Events got a great scoop when it published a State Department directive telling overseas embassies and consulates to actively push BLM propaganda. We spent four years listening to how Trump was destroying all the rules and norms and stuff and here goes the administration using the US government and its agencies to push their political allies. There goes another norm.
Oh, well, this is an exception because its so important and vital and stuff. Except, it’s always an exception for them. You need to understand that there are no rules. There are no norms. There are simply arbitrary limitations on and regulations of our conduct employed by our enemies to control us that get labeled as “rules” and “norms.” We’re supposed to honor and respect them, to our detriment, because…well, reasons. And too often this works. People on our side hope that somehow submitting enough to the other side and honoring their guardrails will make them see the light and return to an imaginary past of common ground and agreed guiding principles.
But it won’t, and it can’t.
By trying to set some sort of example by honoring the norms that the left tossed in the trash, the effect is to reward our enemy’s misconduct. When we obey the non-existent rules, their tactic works. They are not going to look at their success and be shamed into giving up their advantage.
What teaches is pain. It’s time to fight the war on norms with a bit of mutually assured destruction. If you want norms to be reestablished, you have to make it hurt to violate them instead of rewarding the people who do. Which means we need to bulldoze through their so-called norms and exercise raw power to support our interests. And like Hamas begging for a ceasefire after being pounded by the Israelis, they can come crawling to us to reestablish the norms.
I can’t wait until President DeSantis has “Molon Labe” flags flying around the world.
