A kind of cancer: political government

“Should you try to make the world better or give up because it’s hard? Judging by how those trying to make things better are treated, most people want you to give up. When I say ‘better,’ I mean safer for life, liberty, and property. Those who are too weak or confused to live in the real world, or who benefit from ruling you, would have a different definition. Most of them believe keeping you like a zoo animal is better for them, and they’ll work to make you imagine it’s better for you. It’s not. Changing things for the better makes waves; most people don’t want you to make waves and will try to thwart you. They’ll fight to prevent you from making things better for them, personally. Weird, right? Utopia is not an option, but Dystopia isn’t inevitable.” (11/24/24)
