Unwilling to control immigration and the cultural disintegration it causes, the authorities instead control the law-abiding.
This is precisely the bizarre system of misrule I have elsewhere described as “anarcho-tyranny”—we refuse to control real criminals (that’s the anarchy) so we control the innocent (that’s the tyranny).
The Francis article is from 2004. What struck me is how well the quotation applies to recent events, especially those of the last few days. The authorities stand back and allow looters and thugs to destroy public and private property and generally disrupt our cities while at the same time imposing draconian restrictions on law-abiding citizen using an exaggerated pandemic as a pretext.
Abdication and over-reach at once. The empowerment of criminals by virtue-signaling elites with no skin in the game to the detriment of the meek middle-class law-abiding.
More grist for the mill; more blog-fodder for the Bill. But it is not just blog-fodder. The survival of the Republic is at stake. That is not an exaggeration. I wish it were.
