Are you Pro-coercion? Seriously. This is an important question that people should be asking themselves. Especially at this moment in human history.
Why is that? Well, we like to think that were a freedom oriented democratic society. Democracy, where people have rights. But if anything has been demonstrated these past nearly 2 years, is that your rights and your freedom can be removed at any time under a preposterous declaration of an emergency that isn't actually an emergency.
You can look at the United Kingdom's assessment on the novel coronavirus in March 2020, that the new virus is of little consequence. And that hasn't changed. But their actions, despite this appraisal of the virus, have been towards creating an intense fear of the virus in order to justify their increasing control over individuals in society.
You see, without this fear, people would not accept the increasing levels of coercion that have been applied by the government throughout the past two years. It's not that there was never coercion before, it's just that people have accepted it for decades upon decades. Taxation is one form of coercion, despite the apologetics and justifications for it being necessary.
But the coercion has become very apparent early on in 2020 as governments decided to coerce businesses into shutting down. If you dared to oppose them, choosing to let people in society decide whether they wanted to do business with you or not out of their own volition and voluntary interaction, that opposition will been faced with severe penalties.
The government had decided that those who oppose their mandates of shutting down businesses would be fined. Not only that, but they would send their goon squad, the state gang thugs known as police, to forcibly shut down your business.
So this course of threat was follow-through in some cases where people did not obey the dictates and draconian mandates of government. Coercion has been in full force.
It's not only with the mandated shutting down of businesses which economically devastated millions upon millions globally, to which the media and government blamed a virus. This is why you will see news headlines that read that the coronavirus caused economic devastation or an economic crisis. It's also the mandates for masks that were not scientific. Scientifically, they were known to be useless and also potentially harmful when worn for extended periods of time.
That signs didn't matter, only the religious science and orthodoxy and dogma that they put forth through state propaganda and media outlets was "the science" that you needed to obey without question. If you dared to question it, you were ridiculed and treated as a nut job conspiracy theorist. You even get fired in some cases.
The coercion has become more mainstream, more public in view, and more publicly accepted.
But, if you were to ask someone if they were for coercion, if they are pro-coercion, they would obviously say that they aren't. After all, who wants to admit that they are for aggression, or for theft, etc.
But it's an interesting thing to ask people because it might actually get them to think about what they're supporting.
When they asked are you an anti-Baxter, or merely declare that you are under some loose association that you don't want to receive this unsafe and ineffective injection, you can say that you are actually anti-coercion. Then you can ask them if they are pro-coercion.
I think this would be a worthwhile experiment to engage in to get people to really think about what they are doing and what they are supporting. What do you think?
