Is a dystopian police state inevitable?
It doesn't look good.
In the short-term, probably.
In the long-term, I don't know. I hope not.
This has been building for years. Thousands of years, with bumps and dips along the way. It's been building as long as the sick idea of governing others has existed.
No matter who controls government, they work tirelessly to install police state infrastructure and policy. This is how you know government is the problem, not who runs it.
It becomes more and more "illegal" to resist the police state policies and "authorities". It's already "illegal" to defend yourself from them.
Police state policies are popular with statists of all stripes. They only differ in which police state policies they approve of and who they are aimed at.
I suppose the question could be asked if police states are invariably dystopian. I don't believe they could be anything other than dystopian, but this is because I value liberty. To people who prefer to be kept as pets, I can see how they might feel better under a police state. At least temporarily.
Nor, I suppose, are all dystopias strictly police states, but that's another subject.
I'm on the outside- I don't approve of any police state policies whatsoever.
I only hope liberty can come out the other side and be reborn.
Leave a tip?
