Embracing Malevolence for Political Gain

Anarchy, or its perceived existence, can be a powerful tool for leaders looking to obtain ultimate authority over a populace. A mechanism by which a ‘compassionate’ leader will impose controls on the people in the name of salvation. It is about, encouraging, or at least not condemning, the wanton destruction of property and demonizing local policing agencies who attempt to step in. This malevolence we are accepting is suffocating the final beams of liberty’s light.

Domestically, we have chosen to accept the public flogging of our local police officers in order to rationalize the behavior of the immoral. Officer Manny in Milwaukee, Officer Wilson in Ferguson, Office Kenny in Madison, etc., were all used as surrogates for punishment to deflect from the nature of today’s violent cities. We place the burden of public protection, public liaison, mental health professional, family counselor on the backs of the police officers, while they strive for self preservation. This in some cases must be all be analyzed in split seconds. Yet, it is easier to attack their failures as shoddy police work; rather than, charge the community for the deterioration in culture. As that puts the responsibility on the individual. Assuming individual responsibility in an civilized society is the enemy of anarchy.

Internationally, our leaders watch as the destabilization of the Middle East and Africa occurs before our eyes. Partnerships are being forged with countries who desire bloodshed from our friends and even ourselves in the name of their own ideology. Thousands are being killed. Men, Women, children; Christian and Muslim, with our leadership offering little more than a peep of a tweet calling for an end to violence. Even our allies have begun to back away and mock our actions. In return, we treat our friends like the axis of evil. To what end do we pursue this path of self destructive and world destructive foreign policy? Or does affiliation with malicious governments vindicate our leaders own domestic policy?

In a sane world the choice between cop and thug or Iran and Israel would be common sense. However, in a post modern world of moral relativism, it is the political ideology that becomes the dividing line between what is right and what is wrong. In many ways it has already created a sort of anarchy within the culture of western society. Accept we have embraced that disfunction and rationalized it as personal freedom, demonizing those who call for stabilization. The political gain from fracturing society or the world into class systems far outweighs the sacrifices of power required for a government of the people. It is the faith in this self destructive process of rebirth that will destroy our nation.
