Dear Friends,
It seems to me, the first amendment’s right to free speech is studiously enforced… as long as you agree with the State. Take the example of Jordan Peterson. Does anyone believe that if he was pushing the official party line, climate alarmism, trans rights and depopulation… the regulating body would have demanded he undergo reeducation? Of course not! Only a fool would believe that. A double standard. If Peterson was a good post modernist expert, he would be lauded as a ground breaking free thinker. Because, as we all know, “free thinking” is thinking what the state wants you to think. Freedom of speech (for those who speak the party line) is a hallmark of Marxist and fascist regimes. That freedom to speak is protected viciously by the State. Politically inconvenient opinions however, not so much.
The experts believe that an opinion carefully crafted by experts must be the right one. How could it not be? If the smartest, wisest and most moral people craft an opinion, then having a different opinion is not only in bad taste but is actually dangerous. How far will we go to protect ourselves from danger? A very long ways. We’ve built a multi trillion dollar a year apparatus to protect us from every conceivable threat. So it’s not a big step to silence people who are actually dangerous. They’re a menace not only to society but to themselves. Such self destructive thinking must be controlled. The experts have deemed it so. With the existential threats the human race faces like, global climate change, man made viruses, and trans people barred from the women’s bathroom, we must act, there’s no time to debate.
Wrongthink, if you think of it, is extremely dangerous. Any thought that’s not sanctioned by the experts in the bureaucracy, is obviously, wrongthink. We’ve already established that anything dangerous is subject to regulation, to protect us from the bogyman, so it seems clear that wrongthink should be regulated as well. Since the State doesn’t have telepaths, yet, to monitor our thoughts, censoring our speech, is the only way to protect free speech. Allowing people to spout wrongthink willy nilly would encourage wrongthink, and in such an environment, how could rightthinking get through? That’s why only State sanctioned speech can be allowed. Not just allowed but protected at all costs. You see how perfect the progressive’s logic is… if a bit orbital, machiavellian and narcissistic.
Everyone knows allowing doctors to practice medicine, is very dangerous, that’s why we have expert bureaucrats to tell them how to do it. Doctors have a myopic view of their role. They see themselves as caregivers to the sick and injured. While a bureaucrat has a much wider field of vision. The bureaucrat understands that the role of all experts, is to move society from the political age, to the administrative age, the age of experts. All other considerations, like curing illness, alleviating suffering and saving human lives, are subservient to that goal. Any medical procedure that is politically favored, (moves society closer to the goal) no matter how detrimental to the patient is protected. Doctors that engage in politically inexpedient ones however, will have their license to practice endangered.
In our new corporatist order of things, all your rights are protected by the full weight of the government, as long as they are in line with the government’s views. No stepping on any of them will go unpunished. God help anyone who engages in iconoclasm on a politically favored tag. Our experts in the bureaucracy will regulate every aspect of human life. All you have to do is agree. Jordan Peterson didn’t, and soon will either become one with Landru, else be ostracized. Donald Trump is getting his just deserts for standing up to the experts that run the State. If your with them, your rights will be protected, but if your against them, you have no rights. The logic is as perfect as it is circular… and is the core ethos of Marxist, corporatist and administrative states.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
