How People Become "Weak" and "Strong" Under Statism
Well, it is the misunderstanding or rather NOT properly understanding of the system of government authority.
How can you define "the weak" and the "strong” in statist society?
Under statist system of power, the so-called “strong/powerful” becomes strong/powerful because the State/Government makes them strong/powerful by supporting and protecting them!
Étienne de La Boétie “Discours de la servitude volontaire” dissects and explains this “misunderstanding” very clearly.
How many times have you witnessed Government protecting the “weak” against the “strong? Even in the so-called “court of law?”
How many times have you witnessed Government protecting the “strong” against the “weak?”
(Do I need to cite the plights of Julian Assange, Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden, victims of government thugs’ brutality… and the case of Jeffery Epstein and his fly-list and his young victims?)
The fact is that the 1% is just a bunch of weak individuals (the Rothschilds, the Rockefellers, the Bushs, the Clintons, Jeffery Epstein Bill Gates, Elan Musk and their ilk become “powerful” and controls almost all resources and dictates almost all aspects of the 99%… all because THEY are operating hand in hand with the State power/ government authority and are supported and protected by State power/ government authority.
Without Government, you and I, the weaks, can freely fight back individually or band together to fight back any bullying from such (perceived) “strong”. You can see that without the support and protection from State power and government authority, there is no such “strong” in society!
It’s the Government that protects the “strong” against the weak by holding back, oppressing, and suppressing the weak, who are the majority of society, from rising up against the minority “strong”!
It’s truly mind boggling that many “supposed to know better” dissidents still hold the false belief / make believe that “GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE” and that “government is there to protect the “weak” against the “strong,” despite all the evidences to the contrary, which not only are ample in the whole history of mankind but right in front of their own eyes and in their own daily life.
