Adding Factions

"Ah, smoking is not good for you, and it's been deemed that anything not good for you is bad. Hence, illegal. Alcohol, caffeine, contact sports, meat..."
--Lenina Huxley (Demolition Man)

Events over the past few months have revealed just how pervasive socialism has become. In the US, socialism has made great inroads via socialized medicine ("we need to flatten the curve to preserve health system capacity") and indoctrination of young minds via the education system.

Cultural Marxism. Watermelon socialism. Fascism. ESG. Degrowth.

And now, it seems, a new strain grounded in public health and wellness.

A great member of what I like to call the Flack Pack, Garet Garrett, once wrote a chapter entitled 'The Revolution Was,' suggesting that American Revolution had been replaced by a socialist revolution and that liberty, as originally conceived by our founding ancestors, was dead.

That was 65 years ago.

While I don't think it is dead, liberty is certainly under attack. And the attacking army keeps adding factions.
