Incrementalism.

The method of the Fabian Society - a slow, imperceptible transition to socialism.


"Everything I don't like is socialism".

You may have a valid objection, that this is a slippery slope or some such, but calling it "socialism" doesn't help your case, and makes you look like a crank.


I am cranky, not a crank.

The point I was making is that we are incrementally moving towards a pre-determined goal. These are communitarian (anti-individualistic) goals. And yes, I think the Fabian Society exemplifies the slow creep towards totalitarianism. They think in terms of decades and centuries. We do not experience history naturally unfolding - it is guided.

I personally don't see things in terms of socialism, communism. I do see things in terms of collective versus individualistic goals. I think that those who control us do see socialism as a better means of progressing collectivisation/communitarian goals.

What does this mean? It means that if it is deemed that the collectives' goals come at the expense of the individual - this is fine. The collective idea of 'right' is right - law, reason and morality be damned.

And in truth this is where we are heading. Where legal rights suspended in the last 2 years where we were in a 'state of emergency'? Did any medical officials provide legal depositions that were scrutinised and cross examined? The law failed.

Was the populace coerced by the government to undertake experimental vaccines? Is that coercion acceptable? Should governments around the world undertaken the biggest PR and advertising campaign in history to promote a virus and its treatment?

Does it suit any individual to have an ID to enter a supermarket, gain access to education, have a bank account, go to work? What conditions does having an ID come with? Must I be fully vaccinated to function in society?

What is planned and is likely to be played out is tyranny over everyone. You may cheers here and there as causes dear to you gain the treatment from the government you want, but this is not going to end well.

"A state, is called the coldest of all cold monsters. Coldly lieth it also; and this lie creepeth from its mouth: "I, the state, am the people."" - Nietzsche.


My advice stands: you've got objections, don't phrase them as an overly-propagandized Fox viewer might, and you've got a better chance of getting everyone else to read them.


I understand. People hear this sort of message as a left versus blue thing. That's not my intent, even if it sounds that way - the issue we are facing are beyond politics. Government (whatever colour) is continuously working against the governed, and always has.
