"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. "
― C.S. Lewis
Isn't it hilarious that this would have been originally been meant as a warning of the hyper religious, but that it's now the shitbag radical left that has taken up the mantle?
It’s just a different sort of religion.
I've noticed people saying "Be safe" or "Stay safe" as a farewell and it's like nails on a chalkboard to me.
We have massive amounts of our lives devoted to safetyism. (strip search / xrays at airports / lower and lower speed limits)
Yet our life expectancy is declining.
"Nope, now I'm gonna dash across a freeway AND IT'S YOUR FAULT"
I would NEVER have expected the far left to be defending the pharma companies with the biggest criminal fines in history due to marketing poison as safe.
I didn’t have that on my score card.
I never expected them to be openly supporting racial segregation, foreign wars, jingoism, and literal-no-shit-actual-real-life National Socialists in Ukraine.
I never thought they would truly have no single principle to hold to, but they've managed to betray even their most sacred of cows.
Well the thing is, I no longer believe that there's any pretense that these authoritarians actually have any interest in doing good for their victims, unless you count "they'll be dead so not poor/sick/oppressed/in pain any more" as "good."
