Seeing all the really dumb stuff justified by one brand of statist or another, I think it can be said with certainty that statism has jumped the shark, nuked the fridge, AND nuked the shark. Probably jumped the fridge, too.
Some days I don't even know what to say-- the statist stupidity from every direction just seems so ridiculous all I can do is shake my head and (try to) put it out of my mind.
I never thought statists were statists because they are "so smart"-- I realize some are smart; their evil overtakes their smarts, but I just don't see it in most of them.
But even if some statists are smart, statism itself is still dumb. It's like a genius who arranges his life according to a horoscope.
But most statists aren't evil geniuses. Just evil imbeciles.
Most don't seem able to add 2 and 2 without trying to find a political angle that supports their preferred kind of slavery.
It doesn't matter, I suppose. Stupid or evil, the results are the same. Be ready to defy and avoid.
