Ed note: Stephen Molyneux really nails the core observances of those that tend to find their way to Lawful Rebellion. Enjoy.
This is the story of your enslavement; how it came to be, and you can finally be free.
Like all animals, human beings want to dominate and exploit the resources around them.
At first, we mostly hunted and fished and ate off the land – but then something magical and terrible happened to our minds.
We became, alone among the animals, afraid of death, and of future loss.
And this was the start of a great tragedy, and an even greater possibility…
You see, when we became afraid of death, of injury, and imprisonment, we became controllable — and so valuable — in a way that no other resource could ever be.
The greatest resource for any human being to control is not natural resources, or tools, or animals or land — but other human beings.
You can frighten an animal, because animals are afraid of pain in the moment, but you cannot frighten an animal with a loss of liberty, or with torture or imprisonment in the future, because animals have very little sense of tomorrow.
You cannot threaten a cow with torture, or a sheep with death. You cannot swing a sword at a tree and scream at it to produce more fruit, or hold a burning torch to a field and demand more wheat.
You cannot get more eggs by threatening a hen – but you can get a man to give you his eggs by threatening him.
They are bleeding me white. All the cash I get, they take… and take for what? Social Services out of control doing child abductions left, right and centre with unlimited funds available, the more children they take, they more money they get. My mate had his children taken away and in court, they were paying professional witnesses ten grand a shot to talk rubbish. It is out of control. Council tax is taking all my money and there’s nowt left for anything else. HAD ENUF OV IT
I agree with Adam. I was taken by the state (along with my many siblings) and we were treated as cattle. Seriously. The more of us there were, the more money they would get. Not to mention the abuse. The ‘social worker’ in our case lied on the stand and was proven wrong in the court room. My family has always been ‘targeted’ and the parents that are terrible ones never even get bothered. This is the truth. Its time to break out of the farm.
A damn good observance, but as the author is a product of modern society, he overlooked one basic cornerstone of the point he tried to make: “CIVILIZED” humans wish to dominate, exploit, and control the resouces around them. That is foundation of so-called civilization, is it not? Once humans found they could domesticate plants and animals, the manipulation and control of every living thing on earth got its start. Its all about the self-serving premise that man is entitled to subjugate all other forms of life. Religion, Kings, Society itself, all hinges on the assumption that EVERYONE can be controlled by fear of pain here and in the hereafter. Luckily there are still people who, by the very same society that wishes to control, have been pushed aside, overlooked, and made to feel as outsiders. I am one of those, as were my ancestors before me, as my children are. The promise that “we are all equal” came too late, and now falls on deaf ears, for who in their right mind would wish to be deemed equal to unthinking vegetables reliant on a puppet state for survival except for other mindless vegetables? A very coherent modern thinker recently said: “The Great Lie is that this is civilization. We now murder, rob, and starve more of our own race than at any other time in human history, while polluting the very thing that guarantees the survival of our species and every other. And if this is truly civilization, then the Great Lie is that civilization is good for us.”
