"Police in America have become little more than predators and revenue collectors."
This is very close to my favorite description of cops: predators and parasites. There is, of course, a non-abusive use for police, when they're apprehending actual criminals (and actual crimes in my book do not include drugs, prostitution, gambling, or any other voluntary activity), but most of the time cops seem to prefer less challenging but lucrative activities, such as pulling over motorists and lifting whatever cash they may be carrying, then using it to buy toys for themselves without ever charging the former cash-carrier with any crime at all. This sort of behavior makes cops the enemy of civil society.
Best title I've ever seen to compel interest. Local people that know me have taken offense when I told them they didn't apply themselves to what's really important. They have no defense because they know zero about how philosophy works, how the mind works, yet they use words like they're Bruce Lee or something.
People also don't apply themselves when it comes to discerning when they might learn something that could help their life. Instead they're addicted to GOSSIP which is what amounts to social media and the "pay-triots" today.
They want to perform law suits, have billboards and signs whining things are bad, and "died suddenly" but they have ZERO interest in how they personally are responsible for today's situation. This goes for everybody.
Ayn Rand warned us in DETAIL about this decades ago. She said you had to apply yourself. Like she did. (Going to meetings and donating money is NOT applying oneself).
**The "bad guys" (WEF et all, Bill Gates, etc) HAVE applied themselves. In detail. Agenda XX. They even tell you about it. While we're busy stuffing our face at BBQ's, being "foodies" (today's childish expression of a gluton), buying all the toys, sports...THEY were busy applying themselves to their schemes for decades and decades. I respect that. Sure it was "evil" but hell, at least they did something.
Lately I've been studying Ayn Rand's 1974 lecture to the graduating class at West Point. It is brilliant. Not because I "liked it" or "agree with it" because it's bloody PRECISE and accurate!!
She warned us of EXACTLY what was happening and how we would be changed using philosophy and psychology. (Words).
Nah, nobody cared. People have gotten SOFT. Even these patriots would rather do bible quotes then study something that actually makes your mind FIT and a weapon. Rand said the most important man 2000 years ago was Aristotle. Boy was that a surprise. Funny there's no church for the philosopher.
If you've not yet, I'm sure you will enjoy reading, The Most Dangerous Superstition., The belief in Authority, by Larken Rose.
Thanks,

Hear, hear!

The world might be quite different if there was.
Study THIS. Or don't. Let the world burn.
