Embrace the Chaos, Part Ii

...There is no equilibrium in which mankind can freely live, it’s always been a push or pull, some advance while others give. It’s the only way we get the space to live goods lives by our own minds, never to rule, nor to be ruled, that’s the contract free folks sign. And all those checks and balances that get partisans out-of-joint, they’re more vital than any belief, those quirky rules are the whole point! The ‘great future’ that so many think is just within our grasp, never comes, and it never will, it just gets good people gassed. The chaos that freedom brings is what mires up a tyrant’s view, it may slow down a few good things, but that beats a sprint towards doom. In fact the very slowness that comes from many having their say, is the only force that can prevent all of us from being enslaved. Nothing else has ever restrained the endless march of tyrant creatures, the mess of the chaos is no bug, in fact it is quite the feature! Is it messy at the wrong time, does it occasionally annoy? You bet it does, how could it not? It’s the spawn of endless choice! From countless individuals, what other outcome could there be? But better a chaotic freedom, then an ordered tyranny. And if you’re one who cannot live Without ruling over others, then this country is not for you, best go out and seek another. …you won’t be missed.
