The Nanny State

A nanny state like the one we’re in now turns its citizens against each other. We become a country of nags and spies. Not only can we not get together, or even stand physically close to the family members we live with, we are made to see each other as contaminants. And we consequently begin to feel the breakdown in our relationships. Because at the end of the day we aren’t made to separate out in our thinking relationship from physical proximity. We are material beings, and closeness intimately signifies relationship.

We are forced to see each other as potential enemies, and that easily and quickly moves to being actual enemies. Totalitarian states see family and friendship as a fifth column against them. And so they regularly take steps to break them up, and force them to rat on each other if they fail to follow the state’s rules. For the totalitarians, the State is supreme, and everything else is dispensable or even hazardous. This is how totalitarianism then makes the family give way to sexual libertinism, which is why you see the two together in the lives of statists. And in this environment love can’t survive, but has to give way to simple power and force. But for evolutionists and God-deniers like the totalitarians, they understand that if their can be no God, then there can be no love.

Is the virus real? Yes. It is also the totalitarians’ dreams come true, a way to destroy all that stands in the way of their wickedness.
