Real Time Demonstration Project: Vermont as a Mental Institution

I remain, for now, a Vermont citizen. This hasn't been easy, as I moved around often.

In a few years, I have seen the state degenerate from the famous bastion of self reliance, self government, local schools, strong family and community, and distaste for flat-landers to a hide-out for the marginally aware, lazy, sycophants.

One can look at the University of Vermont which abandoned its high status, as low-life academics infected the place, and is now a tree-hugger camp for drones from New Jersey and NYC. The sad thing is these academics actually think they are superior intellects, not having ever competed in the community.

So you Vermonters understand, you paid for an academic, Marxist/touchy-feelie/whatever-the-hell-they-are, band of subversives who used your tax money to take control of the state. They have succeeded, chump. Got taxes? They buy votes by giving away shinny pennies, thereby driving out the business community.

The take over is the same old Marxist story: control the schools, centralize the schools and government, raise taxes, create a dependency, and enhance leftist voters - the "social contract" was part of that and the gay community tends to support Marxists for some reason. There is no interest in fair debate; rather all subversion is is acceptable to "play the system" and subvert is from within. Essentially, the operative concept is hustle the marks who live by those old-fashioned rules and assume honor in others.

This is childish, self indulgent behavior that in adults is a mental illness. It promotes not contribution, but exploitation. These people are never happy, always pushing others for more. This was exact opposite of Vermont just thirty years ago. These are the people our forefathers fled in old Europe.

So, this morning, I was listening to VPR, Vermont People's Radio. The station was on because I turned on the BBC late at night (it sounds conservative, now).  However, this morning the Vermont insipid news was on.

I stopped what I was doing and listened to a report:

Vermont has released results of... bla bla, same drone stuff...that Vermont's homeless increased 25% in ONE YEAR!

I was amazed; I was amazed VPR would report such news. I listened as this report might indicate to normal people that Vermont was in dire trouble. I forgot about about the mental illness of the left. Snap!

No, the point of the study was to promote more housing subsidies!

Just another made up crisis designed to justify theft of citizen's money. It did't matter, of course, that Vermont is now broke because of the vast ocean of people who refuse to work.  It, now, leads the country in drug addiction! This means we need to offer free drugs in addition to the free hypodermic needles.  This is the non-logic that we should not permit to exist just because we want to be nice to nitwits.

Yesterday, in this blog, we saw "democracies" die in about 200 years because people devolve into apathy. Dull witted, self-indulgent people will vote themselves money from the distant "government" and there are always leaders willing to control money gateway. After all, they have to help the children, don't they? One mistake is the, now, state sponsored abortion. This may sound like fun, but the left is reducing the number of future tax payers.  They will be like Shakers and not reproduce themselves, either.

As very few natural-born Vermonters remain, the state is now an excellent test tube to measure the destruction of a people through better collectivism. The drifters stay in Vermont even in sub-zero weather as the state keeps them warm. The state, in a real sense, being the children of the drifters who will pay for the theft. This is Vermont today. We need a new string of songs about the People's Vermont.

The tricks of the trade of oligarchs are the same in Vermont as Venezuela and too numerous to mention, here.

The very rich are now moving in and have manipulated the law and their lives to avoid the taxes that fall upon the middle class.  Same old story.

To understand where we are going in the U.S. one needs to understand the true meaning of the VPR news report:  the avoidance of logic, without hesitation, regarding certain matters. Where the emotional/religious principles can be raised, no matter how stupid, they are raised and defended. Logic is for long-dead or long-fled white farmers.

The problem with apathetic people is they let the least-common denominator of society talk and talk and talk and take control of our lives. We do not want to be confrontational or impolite; this is a simple human tendency. Mentally healthy people do not plan their lives around being installed in an office. Power seeking is an indicator of mental illness.

We have work to do. We are quiet and politically correct.  We are trained to let deviants prance about; in turn, they actually think they are sane and deserve to lead. They bury wood so the carbon will not be released, or something like that. If it weren't for those damn trees, there would be no carbon. Oh, I forgot about the damn dinosaurs who died and left carbon laying around.

Look at the imbeciles that represent Vermont in Congress. They look up to Joe Biden for intellectual clarity.  To his credit, the perpetually miserable Bernie Sanders admits he is a Brooklyn Marxist.  He was raised to power serving as the socialist mayor of Burlington (aka University of Vermont.) The rest of the crowd are "liberals" and "progressives." They are all collectivists in the various shade of Marxism. They want to be in charge of the "masses," which, of course, does not describe them.

This has to stop. We have to reject stupidity, personal attacks, and emotional whining. Put the leftists into therapy, not in public office. Ultimately, the reason we are collapsing as a culture is a loss of a moral foundation. The apathetic have no opinion about morality and freedom.

Where one solidly believes in a morality and a higher standard to follow, then one is not engaged with petty theft and manipulation.  Where one has nothing meaningful in life, then control and theft become the goals of life.  Humans seem to need a "meaning." Where we create an animal society, our drives become those of animals, but this is unkind to animals who do not benefit from the ability to apply the mind to animal desires.

The leftists mock all religion for this reason - it is their one true enemy.  It is the reason it took so long for Marxist thought to infect the U.S. The KGB has been clear about this. First, the subversives had to kill off logical morality. They mock the family, priests, the Bible, and individual responsibility. All normal aspects of building a solid community are an interference to state control.

My advice, again, is register to vote and do so in the PRIMARIES.  Here is where your vote counts. When you get in the booth, unless someone screams about the law and profligate spending, vote against all incumbants.  If both major candidates are statist, then vote against the incumbent. Parties are nearly irrelevant. Do that every election. Its a first step.  If this makes sense to you, then you run.  You are qualified.

More can be done, but this is simple and effective step. If we do not do this, now, the next steps will not be simple and will be fraught with danger.

I like the idea of voting clubs. People should meet like they would in a stock buying club, discuss politics, and make investments in their future.
