Why do we need the government? -A couple of thoughts in the written form
by a human being
An essential part of our government is advocating a view of human nature that nesscesitates the existence of said government, meaning they endorse a view of human nature which views people as being naturally greedy, sinful, and lawless. If not for the laws and power invested in the government, justice itself could not exist and civilization would fall.
Q: How did these lawless freaks ever organize themselves into populations with governments to keep order?
A: Lucky.
Q: How does this view of human nature effect the normal peasant's (person's) psyche?
A: "I need my government to protect me because deep down other people are sinful, greedy, and lawless. Without my government to protect me, with its institutions of Police and 911 dispatchers looking out for me, I could never feel safe."
Is that you? Why are you so afraid of your neighbor? Chances are she's just like you: just getting by/ poor, and dependent on the government to keep her safe from international terrorist. International terrorists DO NOT want to hurt innocent people, what they what is to destroy the greedy Corporate Conglomerates that are raping the entire world. This is should be the same goal of every decent thinking person in the world. It's not each other we need to fear, we're all in the same boat. We're all under the thumb of expolitive corporate greed and we are suffering as a whole.
The longest running war in history started about 10,000 BC and is currently raging on a global level. It is a war we all take part in. Us: the poor, verse them: rich ruling elite. You can't learn about this war, ethics, or world suffering from television. The rich own your fucking television programming and they own your goddamn worldview! Think about it for a second people. Your ancestors had to DIE for the rights we enjoy as American citizens. Don't be so rash as to give away these rights that your great-grand parents DIED to give you. If the television tells you something, anything, you be better off assuming that the opposite is true. Television is a corporate mind control machine and you are willingly turning it on in your house, in front of your children, effecting their worldview and their overall place in the world. Stop, and turn it off.
If you are still not convinced, continue reading please.
Think of the television stories you see on the news, primetime, and Hollywood movies. Most of these stories are about people who have or are committing crimes. People who have decided to sink back into the chaotic manifestation of discord that waits in the savage heart of humanity. Over half the time these shows will contain the part where the criminal is brought to justice by the steady hand of government institutions. This proves that civilization is always going to have justice as long as the government is in power.
Q: But who are these folk that provide us with our news, movies, and primetime cop dramas?
A: Corporate conglomerates.
Q: What else do these corporate conglomerates own?
A: The Unites States Government for one.
Q: So it's the corporations that both entertain us and inform us, as well as protect with there puppets, the United States Government.
A: Yes.
Whew, glad they're on the job controlling human nature. If people were left to their own devices they would probably murder everybody in a lust-filled rage. I feel so warm inside. These televised scare tactics are designed to paint a picture of human nature that is makes it seem like the world is full of greedy, lawless people ready to tear each other apart, if not for fear of institutional justice. Shit, I guess I'd better go on ignoring the old woman up the street, she might want to rob me of my food stamps!
One more thought before you continue on with your life in this hostile world.
Q: How does institutional justice (the Cops) deal with acts of violence against civilization (crime)?
A: Guns, pepper spray, tear gas, rubber bullets, clubs, flash light over the head, hand cuffs, restraint (physical and chemical), loss of rights, loss of identity (prisoner # 3434532 etc.), shackles, razor wire, barbed wire, "three strikes you're out," and concrete cells to name just a few.
Good day
