Dear Friends,
It seems to me, what progressives don’t understand, is diversity is our strength. Not diversity of skin color or race but of thought. The single party state is the antithesis of diversity of thought. In it only thoughts the State approves of are allowed. All other ideas are unsanctionned and illegal. They’re too diverse. Progressives seem to think that diversity of culture, ethnicity and wealth, leading to crime, gang violence and drug addiction, is fine… as long as there’s unanimity of thought. Like believing wild fire is okay as long as everything’s made of wood. So there won’t be any toxic out gassing. Perhaps they plan on enforcing unanimity of thought, with violence, it is after all, the progressive go to. Their form of diversity through unanimity is doomed to failure though… and I’ll explain why.
It’s diversity in thought that gives a civilization resilience. Emergencies necessitate a change in implementation and of ideas. When only one idea is allowed, no other ideas are available, in an exigency. In a society with a diversity of ideas however, if there is an existential threat, there are plenty of ideas to meet it. Clearly, the more ideas that are available in a dire situation, the more likely one will be available that fixes the condition. Therefore, a society with diversity of thought, will be more resilient to damage, even as a society with unanimity of thought, is brittle. Any bump breaks it. Because it’s limited in it’s response. Like glass. While glass is useful, it’s clear, hard and airtight, it’s subject to shattering when contacting objects at high speed, such as war, inflation and natural disaster.
Diversity of thought requires freedom of expression. If the paradigm is, the people are only allowed to agree with the State, as Hitler described in his book, Mein Kompf, there can’t be diversity of thought. The only idea circulating in the citizenry and the elite is the state approved one. If thought leaders are jailed, there will be no innovative ideas available, for the next emergency. Only when people are allowed to speak their minds, no matter how much the elite consider it misinformation, disinformation and inconvenient truth, is diversity of thought encouraged. Such elite stinging truths are the most important ones to be protected anyway. When only the State has a voice, and a myriad of echos, that society is doomed to shatter at the next bump in the road.
A nation who’s courts have abandoned freedom of speech, is a nation that’s experiencing the Coriolis effect, as it goes down the drain. The whole point of the US court system, and indeed all court systems, is to protect the societal myth. Once the courts turn against that founding ethos, they become an agent of change. Instead of being the white blood cells protecting the body politic from oligarchy, they become a cancerous leukemia that destroys all it touches. A court so perverted will do extraordinary actions, like deem a man guilty without trial, because the Constitution be damned. That court system is aggressively undermining their very authority. Since their authority rests on our Constitution, not their personal worth, clique of friends, or lack of ethics.
Believing in unanimity of thought is childish. It’s the toddler saying, “I’m right and everyone better think exactly like me. Or else!” People who are so smart they can manipulate the weather, reorder society and veto the laws of physics, but can’t tell a doorknob from a fire alarm. These are the people who have such absolute faith in themselves, they need to use censorship, propaganda and State violence, to force their absurd ideas up our rectums. No way that could go wrong. What we have is, the dumbest people to have ever lived, want unlimited power. Probably because they’re too stupid to know better. If we allow this to continue, the end game is clear, disaster leading to catastrophe, resulting in utopia… or a total collapse of our technology, culture and governments.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
