The world has changed over the past eighteen months in one truly significant way.
The rise and rise of a permanent class has sped up and it now seems unstoppable. These are people who hold permanent positions in the new world order that is being built around compliance [see photo]. These people are not elected to their positions of power. Most can not, or will not, ever be sacked. These are the people who seek to "built back better" the infrastructure used to control individuals at work, at home, and at play. These people are Fascists who are engineering processes and methods that will soon become applicable for every living thing on Earth.
Let me be absolutely clear about one thing here. Fascists are not Communists nor Socialists. Communists and Socialist engineer a state takeover of private property, capital, labour, etc. as demonstrated for over seventy years inside the Soviet Union. In some respects that regime was established to create a workers' union that could deliver permanent employment for all the citizens. The USSR largely achieved that goal and so the Communist manifesto was enacted to the benefit of the least competent and at a huge cost to the most competent within Russian society. Eventually the USSR collapsed in 1989 because the removal of merit-based competence led to the rise and rise of public squalor.
Fascists engineer a collaboration between public and private entities to produce a society controlled by those who set the rules for compliance. Fascism is a state where the individual is compelled to act as if he or she is part of a herd. In an earlier missive I relayed the Jordan Peterson image of a herd of Zebras [see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxGPe1jD-qY ].
Zebra stripes are used to camouflage each individual against the herd - this means that a predator can not clearly focus in on its prey. Fascism does the same thing to individual citizens as it ensnares them all into a net of regulations that control thoughts, habits, and beliefs. In essence, the Fascists engineer a one-size-fits-all set of rules that binds citizens to the herd in much the same way as the Zebras stripes do for individuals animals. If you willingly comply then you become a protected member of the herd: if you do not comply then you are picked off by a predator whose actions are condoned by the Fascist Regime.
I contend that the CCP is a Fascist dictatorship which uses its levers of control of thoughts, habits, and beliefs to paint stripes on all the citizens. This is an amazingly successful system and that is the reason it is currently being adopted as a model for our entire world. In the West the Fascist cling to the notion of a Green New Deal which enables them to paint zero-carbon stripes on their citizens. If you have these green stripes then you are part of the new herd. The benefits for you in the workplace are obvious as you will be promoted way above your competency levels. The social benefits for you - as a victim of the former regime where merited-based rewards existed - are obvious too as you can steal, cheat, abuse, and become violent without incurring any enforceable sanctions on your behaviours. Inside this world those with green stripes are rewarded by their Fascist masters; while, those who refuse these brands are relentlessly persecuted.
We live in challenging times. These are not the times I wished to have visit the Earth; which means this is not my doing. Nonetheless these are very interesting times and we must endeavour to survive them as best we can.

The mind of a minimalist is developed on a unique sense of what call minimal-you which, in turn, is based on individual needs not collective wants. For instruction on how to establish your sense of you: go to minimal-you.com and hit the "become a minimalist" button in the banner heading. This will take you to a payment scheme for a 10 day programme that will teach you how to design, enforce, and live with mind filters: these help you to be the best person you can be.
