Politics that have gone full retard (I know, politically incorrect), a virus that will supposedly crash the world, stock markets in chaos...here’s the long and the short of it.
The natural world offers risks and rewards; there’s beauty and wonder, but there’s also death and suffering and into each life a little rain must fall. The well balanced and reasonable man takes these things into account and provides a life for himself and his family without living under a constant cloud of fear and paranoia about the negative aspects.
Governments focus almost exclusively on fear and intimidation, rules and regulations, organized violence and mass murder, abduction and imprisonment. I think it would be safe to say that the benefits and positive outcomes they offer pale in comparison to the burdens they impose. Their only saving grace is that they in theory protect us from the threats that other countries pose, like invasions.
99% of the current hysteria surrounding the Covid-19 virus comes from government sources and their lackey media, both of which appear completely unconcerned about the rest of us. All the untold hundreds of billions spent by departments.like Homeland Security, Border Enforcement and the Department of Health and Human Services have not only been completely ineffective in protecting us, they’ve actively promoted the spread of the virus and then ramp up the anxiety everyone feels about it without offering any solutions.
For those who have opted to remain part of the current paradigm, working and living in urban and high density suburban areas, watching the news, buying up masks and bottled water while they watch their own government continue to import vectors from the quarantine zones, you’ve decided to remain loyal to a system which does not have your best interests at heart for reasons known only to yourselves. For those who have "Gone Galt," this virus poses no more nor less of a risk than cutting down a tree for firewood to warm your family. You don’t have to worry about being welded into your apartment by the government and then waiting for them to bring you food, or forced out of your home at gunpoint to possibly die in some medical facility filled with the deathly ill. You deal with issues of life and death daily, on your own terms. You decide how to stock up on the things you need long term and how to avoid the risks that come with daily life in a hostile environment and how to make peace with the inevitability of death.
You are either the master of your own ship, however small it may be, or you are merely a passenger on their Diamond Princess, owned and operated by those who see you as little more than a consumer.
If you have read this far, it’s probably safe to say that at this point you know that pretty much everything the government and media tell you, regardless of the party in power, is either a lie or a truth that serves their interests over your own. You probably also know that your life is immeasurably better when it is spent doing something productive, honest and in the service of family, friends and community rather than slaving to provide for hostile invaders, usurious lending institutions, and aggressive and bureaucratic organizations fixated on power and the accumulation of capital.
This is the time we live in and these are the realities of our time.
The choice is yours.
