These half-baked ideas infect the minds of many.  Much more than just statists.  They infect the minds of those who consider themselves in favor of freedom.  When someone didn’t come to an absurd idea with logic, you’re more than likely, not going to convince that person away from that idea with logic.  Maybe it won’t be that person you convince, but those that might be listening.  A good idea doesn’t require the use of force.

They have these romantic ideas of statism.  In reality, they are half-baked ideas that can only be pursued with force.  These ideas weren’t pushed so long ago that people would’ve forgotten.  These statist ideas have proven to be extremely deadly.  They only way you couldn’t know about it is if you were deliberately shielded from it.  Don’t be fooled by the names given.  They all rely on violating private property.

These ideas rely on the rejection of freedom.  People must be dehumanized for these ideas to be push by the overlords.  Just think of all the labels they’ll use.  They’ll come up with a name for every group.  The ideas aren’t new, but many think they are.  They have been tried before, and it has come at the cost of hundreds of millions of lives.  The details might vary a bit, but they’re still the same ideas that have been tried to extreme failure.

Ideas of those who proclaim to be for freedom are corrosive.  Various ideas might float around.  Some may even be right at times.  It’s possible to come to the correct conclusion by the wrong means.  The foundation of freedom is always property.  Having the correct foundation doesn’t mean you’ll always have an accurate conclusion.  There may be an error in deduction.  Mistakes happen, but you’re more likely to be correct than not. 

The real pandemic is intellectual poison.  The more difficult it will be to cure the earlier this intellectual poison started.  Stay away from the statist school system.  The evil ideas will be injected into your kids.  This nonsense derives its strength from getting to kids early.  They are extremely hostile to education and religion.  The state wants to be God, and it can’t with those two.  They’ll try everything to get rid of them.
