Comey the Criminal Commie - You're Fired

[Smitty-48]

Because it's not the politicians, it's not the agencies.

It's hundreds of millions of regular folk who are enthralled by government intervention as a solution to everything.

I see no prospects of changing that, even slightly.

The government is and will continue to be a leviathan so massive that it is beyond any control.

The aspects which the public are shreaking for the state to centrally plan are increasing all the time.

Stalin in not being imposed, the public demands Stalin.

I don't think its that simple.

Collecting metadata is not high tech.

Any government agency can do that.

The internet data government snooping problem goes way beyond NSA.

You know how to eat a whole elephant?

One bite at a time.

I follow the Kafka doctrine.

Control is a delusion.

You are powerless against the state.

If the government is after you, they will get you.

So don't waste time worrying about it.

No.
The problem for most is getting past the delusion that it can be won.
Kafka gets that, but then reaches the erroneous conclusion that because it can't be won, it shouldn't be fight.
Embrace the eternal struggle.

To a large extent, no, its not the millions.

90% of american's are against civil forfeiture once its explained to them, yet the government was able to shackle us with it for decades.

People are knee jerk totalitarians.

Maybe you'll get them to tweak it at the margins, but that wont change anything fundamentally.

People do not distinguish between themselves as individuals and the state.

The idea that the state is not the omnipresent solution to everything, is heresy.

Because the state and the people are one and the same.

[Smitty-48]

It's like in Canada, when I say that I'm only loyal to the Queen not the government, they don't even know what I'm talking about.

They call that "treason".

The people are totalitarian, the government simply rides the wave.

Kafka didn't understand postmodernity, the struggle itself has become the opressor, Marshall McLuhan.

The do gooders are the tyrants, do gooderism is totalitarian.

[Smitty-48]

Everybody sells out, even Kafka.

Kafka now would just be on CNN screeching about Trump to Andersen Cooper.

The medium is the message.

[Smitty-48]

The only solution is to not have children.

If you don't have children, there's really nothing to worry about in the end.

If you have children, they've got you.

Your own children will turn against you in the end, for the do gooders.

[Smitty-48]

Nihilism is the only freedom.

If you give a shit, you are the opressor.
