Meaning: the action of confiscation of someone’s property for the “public” good. Governments are the gods of this world so they determine the definition of good. Taxes are nothing more than theft disguised as a necessity to finance the public good. The whole purpose of governments is to usurp your title (authority to benefit) to your possessions. Government at their discretion take for their own benefit your money, land, and family. In fact, your civil rights may be extinguished at any time.

Without due process, you may be stopped, assaulted, jailed, and denied a speedy trial. You are guilty until proven innocent. Currently, this is the nature of how American law-abiding citizens are treated. If we voice too strong an opinion or challenge the government’s accepted narrative, we face harrassment and/or legal action by the government. Hiring lawyers is expensive and none of us (including Elon Musk) have pockets deep enough to stand against federal prosecution. We are drained dry by trying to prove our innocence. Thus the goal of the tyrants is achieved; if they don’t convict you, you’re still defeated because your ability to fight (your money) is stolen from you.

I am only observing what is taking place every day. Much of the public isn’t even aware a war is going on between the Constitution and the Communist Party. Looking at history I realize that this majority compliance is normal.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was right in his conclusion that tyranny comes about because of massive stupidity. I guess that’s what’s annoying and frustrating about talking to people. They may nod in passive agreement on some matters but in the end, it’s like the conversation was never had. So it stands to reason they chose to remain stupid. Being stupid requires no facts, no protest, and no guts. As Bonhoeffer noted, there is no way to fight stupidity.

The sad truth is, you can’t fix stupid. Most would rather live the serf life on their knees than stand against the mindless, stupid horde. I’m opting to stand; how about you?
