Yes, we are.
‘……Such are the lineaments of our present age. We have government without limits, unelected rulers, law enforcement without law, citizens without rights, courts without justice, and a vast pretense of “necessity” and “the consent of the governed” to cover all. Interest groups exist to promote each of these things, and in the usual case are opposed only by a vague and incoherent sense that “things have gotten out of hand.” Every two years, we troop to the polls to elect new executives, legislators, and judges…yet no matter whom our ballots elevate, things remain “out of hand,” if indeed they don’t grow even more so.
Anarcho-tyranny. It’s not an “officially recognized” form of government. Political theorists don’t write long scholarly treatises about its virtues and vices. It doesn’t have a political party, or even a debating society. Yet it is now the norm, both here in the United States and virtually everywhere else.’
Francis Porretto: Horsemen Part 2: A New Political Alignment
The old conventions, the set of assumptions which we and our forefathers operated under, are dead. Politicians and bureaucrats are engaged–and have engaged the naive and lazy among us–in an elaborate charade designed to give the impression that those conventions and assumptions are alive and guiding their actions.
They are not.
We are serfs in everything but name. What you own, the government or a faceless, unaccountable bureaucrat can take from you on any one of dozens of pretexts, under colour of “law”. They can indoctrinate your children, destroy your business, take your home, monitor and control your movements and even deny you the right of free travel should they be so minded. And the sole protection you have against such actions is your unprotesting compliance with whatever petty rules and regulations they may care to dream up.
Think you’re a free man or woman? Try bucking the next jumped-up self-important piece of shit who nobody voted for, nobody wants and nobody needs……
Good luck with that.
