Good individuals can do collectively bad things
Texas is proving the importance of states rights. Here at the great reset we will never be mistaken for a lover of government.
We have advocated for my entire adult life to go back to “states rights” and system of government where there are 50 nations that were loosely connected, similar to how we were founded.
The 10th amendment is for this exact reason.
There’s a reason that the ruling class cannot stand the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.
As Barack Obama stated, “it’s a charter of negative liberties.” He means it’s a set of things the government is NOT allowed to do to people. Yes, you’re correct Barack. That is exactly why it is there.
Our founding fathers made it hard for government to centralize and go against the will of the people and take their freedoms.
However, over hundreds of years we have become apathetic and indifferent because we had it so good and we’ve let our power slip and government has slowly boiled us in the pot, one law and one regulation at a time.
It’s hard to see when you look one day at a time or even one year at a time but it’s much easier when you look in decades, or centuries.
This is a collective weaponization of humans “goodness” against themselves. Humans individually are good people but collectively they can do very evil things.
One has to look no further than the 1930s in Germany and countless other examples where the masses are herded into human corrals of despair and despicable acts.
We can learn from our neighbors
When Michigan does something ridiculous or California or Massachusetts and someone doesn’t like it they can move to another state if things get bad enough.
But when the federal government is blanketing the entire 50 states with the same rules what’s the point?
If one state submarines itself with bad policy, the other states can learn and grow from that.
If the federal government blankets a whole nation with those policies, then what’s the point?
If a state does something really good like lowering taxes or removing the state income tax, and that area flourishes and more people go there because their freedoms and liberties are apparent, the other states can learn and grow from that.
But if the federal government blankets every state with the same bad policies and you’re trapped, unless you move to another country, then what’s the point?
Headed towards civil war?
United States government has an obligation to protect its people from foreign invaders, and it’s one of its only responsibilities.
We have a literal foreign invasion going on all around the borders of the United States, and that is inarguable at this moment in time.
The state of Texas has taken upon itself to defend its property and also has the right to do so.
I told my father 20 years ago when I was in high school that there would be a Civil War in my lifetime.
We are seemingly closer than we ever been since the actual Civil War 160 years ago. The most important part about this is people learning, especially after the lockdowns that states have their own jurisdictions own secretaries of state, their own attorneys general, their own governors and their own congressional leadership, that can make decisions for the people of that area.
A local decentralized government is much more effective and efficient than centralized monolith.
Whatever happens going forward it is an important lesson that state sovereignty is the backbone of the United States of America.
It’s a lesson we shall hopefully not soon forget.
Stay strong,
Schooling is to learning what vaccination is to immunity. It disarms your naturally born immunity to bullshit. Caveat discipulus, the full frontal lobotomy...Treat the curriculum as the enemy, or the enema, if you prefer...Good teachers are rare, very rare...Prophetic movie(1956), The Invasion of the body snatchers...not the body, it's really the mind they are after. The paradox was that the film was all about a commie under every bed threat, when in fact the fascists were the invaders.
