“To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize” is commonly misattributed to the 18th-century French philosopher Voltaire. However, there is no evidence that Voltaire ever said or wrote this quote. Instead, the sentiment originates from a 1993 essay by Kevin Alfred Strom, an American neo-Nazi and Holocaust denier, who wrote: “To determine the true rulers of any society, all you must do is ask yourself this question: Who is it that I am not permitted to criticize?” Snopes says so, shut up about it alright?
“Nazi” just took on a whole new meaning
Oh, ok then. Case closed. Looks like someone is a denier, and therefore le bad. Calling someone a “denier” is a common tactic used by some people to shut down any argument. It’s called Argumentum ad baculum (Latin for “argument to the cudgel” or “appeal to the stick“) It is a type of argument made when one attempts to appeal to force to bring about the acceptance of a conclusion. One participates in argumentum ad baculum when one emphasizes the negative consequences of holding the contrary position, regardless of the contrary position’s truth value—particularly when the argument-maker himself causes (or threatens to cause) those negative consequences.
In Sydney last week a bunch of black clad fellows gathered in front of parliament house to protest that a certain minority segment of the community had way too much influence in Australian society and politics. There were no swastikas, no Nazi flags, and no Hitler salutes. There was however, the mention of white people wanting to reclaim their self determination, so therefore bizarrely it was descibed as a Nazi rally.
In some western countries it is increasingly common to promote the idea that if you are sick of “immigrants” and you just might want to live among your own kind, this is regarded as bad think. These finger pointers are in many cases, the same people who have been instrumental in flooding majority white countries with “people of color”, a lot of who don’t seem to be fitting in too good.
The message the authorities (and those who have power over them) are sending is that it is not your right to complain about any of this, you should just shut up and heed what your masters tell you, you racist. These “second peoples” are understandingly becoming a tad fatigued with being told how to live and what to think by others who in many cases, weren’t even elected into public office.
The basic idea is that the switch activates only sometimes, and only after a delay, making the action indirect and uncertain.
I don’t have to name names, and I don’t want to because I don’t want to bulk label a bunch of people in entirety based on the sins of some of them. That’s not a sensible argument. That the government is screaming about Nazis all day long, kind of reinforces the original state ment about who you can’t criticize, regardless of who coined what was supposedly attributed to Voltaire. Now, as were are led to believe, it something that was made up of whole cloth from an actual Nazi, who among other things has been accused of being a pedophile. Wow, that’s really one bad dude, you don’t want to be associated with that do you?
Everyone doesn’t submit to my version of history is Hitler
Oh, it’s all very amusing until it isn’t. The current western globalist regimes are collapsing under their own weight. As Trump said at the UN a few weeks ago, these are “very stupid people”. The diminishing remains of the public who still possess a modicum of functioning brain cells, are starting not believe the bullshit any more. A lot them are becoming “deniers”. This doesn’t bode well for the status quo, to the point where we may even see Argumentum ad baculum using literal cudgels to shut down any dissenters. We see that already when someone decides that the government is wrong about something and the storm troopers and high and mighty mounted police ride in to intimidate everyone into submission about it.
The French eat horse meat don’t they? Maybe it tastes real good? I don’t really want to get to the point where we find out the hard way. Finally, a verified quote from Voltaire. “What is history? The lie that everyone agrees on…”
Lawsie at the golden mic. What does Alan Jones have to say?
Veteran radio broadcaster John Laws died in Sydney last week at the age of 90. Some time ago I was working on an album of songs using Lawsie’s first published poetry book “In love is an expensive place to die, for an ill fated project that crashed and burned. A couple of those tunes survived and were released. This is one of them. Words by Laws, guitar Randy Bulpin, the rest (including baritone sax solo at the end!) by me.
Good Day
