For the past thirty years the world has slid slowly into a coma - this is what intellectual Victor Davis Hanson calls "The therapeutic society". We take a drug for everything that gives us grief. Accompanying this slide towards drug taking has come our acceptance of more and more Government intrusions into our lives. These tyrannical Governments get elected, and re-elected, with promises to keep the patients [electors] safe. Safe from this, that, and the other thing. But one thing they never promised was to keep us safe from the tyranny of too much Government.
Governments around the world acted in unison to insist that people wear masks, isolate themselves, take unproven medical cocktails, and comply with whatever regulations a power drunk health official could dream up. Governments invoked the mystic of "the science" as their authority when what they advocated came with more holes than a sieve. "Follow the science" became their mantra as more and more critics emerged to challenge their rationale for tighter and tighter controls over the everyday lives of their citizens. As one might expect the world became a pressure cooker of discontent.
Finally the cry rang out "it is time to move on". It is time to end Government mandates and the tyrannical rule of unelected bureaucrats. This cry came from an unexpected group of individuals within a nation state that is better known for the sweet nectar of Maple Syrup than for freedom loving protesters. But historians will record that it was the Canadian Truckers [in February 2022] who stood up to their tyrannical Government with dancing, love, peace, and bouncy castles for their kids. They braved the arctic freeze in Ottawa to set the world free. While clogging up the streets of the Canadian Capital they urges people all around the globe to "move on......"
