"In politics - whether electoral politics or ideological politics - the word 'crisis' often means whatever situation someone wants to change. Far from automatically indicating some dire condition threatening the public, it often means simply a golden opportunity for surrogates to use taxpayers' money and the government's power to advance the surrogates' interests, whether these interests are political, ideological or financial."

par brīvību: "..Lyndon Johnson administration in the 1960s, for example, a Cabinet member in that administration used the redefinition of freedom as increases of the kind of things that governments can provide, rather than a personal autonomy in one's own decision and behaviour:


Only when he can support himself and his family, chose his job and make a living wage can an individual and his family exercise real freedom. Otherwise he is a servant to survival without the means to do what he wants to do.

Some years later, a book by two Yale professors - Politics, Economics and Welfare - likewise defined freedom in terms of things received, rather than autonomy preserved. As they expressed it, "we shall try to unravel some of the complexities in the theory and practice of freedom." Their conception of freedom was "the absence of obstacles to the realisation of desires." The "complexities" of this Wilsonian definition of freedom are certainly understandable, since evading the obvious can become very complex. When Spartacus led an uprising of slaves, back in the days of Roman Empire, he was not doing it to get welfare state benefits."

Man nav atslēgas, lai tevi saprastu, t.i., motivāciju, kāpēc šādā veidā vēlies komunicēt ar nepazīstamiem cilvēkiem (sk. savu pirmo komentāru).

Tieši tāpēc es gan tev gan Methodron, tantiņas, kas it kā godīgi norūpējušās par pašreizējās pasaules stāvokli, bet negrib lasīt neko izņemot mdaily mail un feministu esejas, tomēr iesaku kādreiz iečekot AcademicAgent kanālu. Viņam tieši pēdējos mēnešus ir sērijas par dažādu politisko domātāju, stratēgu un specdienestu līderu no dažādiem laikmetiem īsi apraksti un ideju apkopojums kazuāli saprotamā valodā. ĻOTI svarīga informācija, kas nes gaismu ļoti daudzos, mums it kā neizprotamos notikumos.
Milzīgas glibas teksta agremotas epciāli mums - ignorantajam plebam, kas labāk skatīsies Perdoflix, nekā lasīs par tēmām, kas pašiem itkā interesē.
Tur pa šo hiperrealitāti un matricu, kurā cilvēki tiek turēti kā Platona alā, ir sarakstīts jau gadismtus iepriekš, nerunājot nemaz par redpilled pēdējo laiku analītiķiem. "Never let good cisis go to waste"
Un tik tiešām, "krīzes" tiek mākslīgi ģenerētas. Ja valdība saka, ka ir "krīze", tad pat ja tā ir, tā ir 100% neorganiska. Coof & vaxgulag spilgtākais pēdējo laiku piemērs.
