| Rather than focusing on practical, economic and entrepre- neurial knowledge, government schools quickly shifted the educational focus towards patriotic history, rote memorization and recitation, Latin and Greek, and an endless plethora of other useless and boring trivia. |
| priests, like politicians, promote arbitrary but universal ethics, while excluding themselves from the moral rules they impose, which is the most fundamental attribute of any ruling class, |
| If you can get slaves to attack themselves for daring to question the existing social structure, you will not have to lift a finger to keep them in their chains – they will in fact attack anyone holding a key! |
| Democracy is all about the guilty and shameful pillaging of the helpless and unborn; it corrupts moral re- sponsibility to the point where almost everyone is far too guilty and entitled to take a moral stand for accountability. Get a man to take stolen goods, and he will never complain about theft. This is the essence of democracy. |
| Once you have enslaved one generation, most parents will almost inevitably resist the freedom of the next generation, out of guilt and shame about their own surrender. We tell people to stay close to their families, because their families will so often attack them for even thinking about leaving the cages of collective history. |
| If a man questions the morality and practicality of the welfare state, he will be immediately attacked for not caring about the poor. If he argues against government schools, then he clearly hates the fact that children get educated. If he defends free-trade, he is an immoral advocate for bloodsucking corporations; if he criticizes military budgets, he is a cowardly appeaser who wishes to surrender Fort Knox to Al Qaeda; if he holds people morally accountable for their actions, he is punishing them for their past mistakes and “play- ing the blame game”; if he refuses to forgive unrepentant wrongdoers, he is nursing a grudge and so on. If he argues that adult relationships are voluntary, then he is viciously anti-community; if he says that abuse should not be tolerated in relationships, then he is an intolerant absolutist bent on destroying all relation- ships… This list can go on and on and on – and Lord knows it does, every day – but you get the point. |
| We take money by force from the parents, keep a large portion for ourselves, use another portion to run up debts that their children will somehow have to pay off – and then dribble a few pennies down to the mother, who then feels that we are somehow doing her a great favor by allowing her to stay at home! It is a delicious irony that everyone remains so totally blind to reality that they run to us to protect their children from all kinds of harm, while we are the ones selling off their children’s future through national debts! It really is like hiring a thief to guard your property, and the amazing thing is that this is all so com- pletely obvious, and never, ever spoken about! |
| Consequences are for sheep, not farmers. A citizen cannot be caught speeding without consequences – but you are above all that now, no matter what hells you unleash on the world. People want political power because they want something for nothing, and they want to escape the consequences of their evil actions – we want to assure you that you have now fully achieved these goals. You will never have to worry about losing your house, your job, your money, your freedom – and with this kind of immunity from political, legal and economic reality, you can project all the serene confidence of a sea captain being helicoptered to safety while his ship slowly sinks. |
| once it becomes law, no mere citizen is ever allowed to act on his or her disagreement with you! Debates are for the masters, enforcement is for the slaves. You are allowed to debate whether or not to go to war, citizens are not allowed to choose whether or not they fund the war, or are drafted to get killed in it. You are allowed to debate whether to subsidize some group, citizens are never allowed to choose whether they subsidize that group. Free will is for the masters – slaves get the determinism of their master’s whims. |
| The moment that anyone argues that we don’t need violent masters – that such masters are in fact hellishly destructive – all the slaves in the world will gang up on such an exposed truth-teller, saying, in effect, “We are not slaves if you don’t point out our masters! This reaction is all based on propaganda that is carefully layered in throughout government education – and all education is government education, because we regulate and control private schools and universities as well. |
| Marxists used to blather on about the exploitation of the poor by capitalists, which was utter nonsense. When the capitalists were “exploiting” the workers in the mid 19th century, their real wages doubled – we democratic masters have had our real claws on them for the past 40 years, and real wages have not only stagnated and fallen, but educational standards have collapsed, incarceration rates have skyrocketed, living conditions have deteriorated – and the remaining social services we provide (bribes) are all going to collapse because we have sold everyone off piecemeal under the guise of “national debt” (because the real term – serfdom – is just too accurate to be accepted). |
| The old-style capitalists “exploited” the poor by paying them ever-higher wages – we exploit them by selling both them and their kids off to whoever will shove a thin dime in our direction – dropping a penny in the hollow plates of the poor, keeping eight cents for ourselves, and using the last penny as collateral to borrow ten more. |
| people arrive at adulthood worshipping the State that stole from their parents, crushed their minds under forced indoctrination, sold them into serfdom for the rest of their lives, and programmed them for endless obedience. Imagine if we said that Goldman Sachs should run all the government schools – just picture the howls of indignation that would arise, shrill shrieks of the dangers of bias, indoctrination and programming! Ah, but give the children to the State, and everyone smiles benignly, certain that objectivity, reason and a well-tempered love of children and learning will reign supreme. |
| everyone will dance in a line for you. Just tell them that biiiig hardships are coming, that we as a nation are being ‘tested,’ and that we all need to ‘pull together’ and shoulder our common burdens, and look out for the most vulnerable among us, and that to achieve a new dawn, sacrifices need to be made, and hint strongly that bad forces outside your control – or before your time – have robbed the people, and will be held accountable, but that we all need to look to the future, and remember that we as a people can do anything we set our minds and wills to, and we defeated the prior tyrannies etc etc etc. For some reason, people always take a dark masochistic delight in struggling through trying times where they all have to “pull together” and “make sacrifices” and strive to achieve the best in tragic times and so on. Probably boredom and self-contempt for their own hypocrisy, but who knows, and who cares? The important thing is that government schools and all the endless lies about past wars and depressions |
| that the best in people comes out in the worst of times and so on – have all programmed citizens to react with dark and lascivious glee when we demand that they spend a generation eating shit for our mistakes. |
| remember how few Europeans criticized the ruling classes for two World Wars in two generations, but rather took pride in ‘winning’ a bloodbath that cost over 50 million lives – and contrast that with how they treat a waiter who forgets their food order. |
