Convince Others to Stop Stealing

|
| This is the true history of what is commonly called morality. | |
| If you were the only thief in the world, imagine how easy your job would be. | |
| There would be no locks, no security systems, no passwords, no police. | |
| You could just take stuff and people would probably just assume they lost it. | |
| On the other hand, if everyone in the world was a thief, everyone would half-starve. | |
| No one would create more than they consumed in the moment, because it would just be stolen. | |
| So, if you want to be a great thief, the greatest, perhaps, your best strategy would be to convince everyone else to stop stealing. | |
| Not because you think theft is wrong, you are after all a thief, but because you don't want the competition to Thus the most brilliant thieves invent property rights to make theft easier and more profitable. | |
| If everyone is a counterfeiter, money is worthless. | |
| If you want to be a great counterfeiter, the greatest perhaps, your first step is to convince everyone else that counterfeiting is immoral, wrong, evil, and must be punished. | |
| Then you must convince everyone that your own counterfeiting is moral, good, virtuous, and must be rewarded. | |
| This is what George Orwell called doublethink. | |

Disarm And Enslave

|
| In order for us to accept such madness, the wheels of our minds must first be broken by indoctrination, by government, schools. | |
| Ethics. | |
| Virtue. | |
| Morality. | |
| These were not invented and inflicted from any desire to spread goodness, but rather to disarm and enslave others. | |
| To disarm and enslave you. | |
| The sequence is always the same. | |
| Invent a universal standard of good behavior, and then create an invisible exception for yourself and your friends by calling it something else. | |
| Okay, all right, theft is wrong. | |
| Thus, those in power have to call their theft taxation. | |
| Thou shalt not kill. | |
| Okay, all right, murder is wrong. | |
| Thus, those in power have to call their murders wars. | |
| No kidnapping! | |
| Okay, all right, kidnapping is wrong. | |
| Thus, those in power have to call their kidnappings incarceration. | |
| Violence is wrong. | |
| Okay, all right, using violence to get what you want is wrong. | |
| Thus, those in power have to call their violence spanking or laws. | |
| Do you see the pattern? | |
| Create a universal moral rule and then create an exception for yourself and your friends. | |
| It's very easy to test this theory, walk up to an average citizen and ask him if using violence to solve problems is good. | |
| He will say no. | |
| Point out that the state initiates force all the time in the pretense of solving problems, he will immediately start to defend the state. | |
| It is inevitable. | |
| People defend moral rules and then defend the most blatant violations of those same moral rules. | |
| This is how we are controlled. | |
| This is how we are propagandized. | |
| This is how money dies. | |
| This is how freedom dies. | |
| This is how we die. | |
| Someone gives you a moral rule. | |
| The first thing to do is to examine not the rule, but the exception. | |
| Who is not bound by that rule? | |
| Who gets to do the exact opposite? | |
| It will always be those in power. | |
| That is why moral rules exist. | |
| Any thinker who actually tries to apply universal moral rules universally is considered insane, bizarre, ridiculous. | |
| Because the purpose of universal morality is the exception, the violation. | |
| Governments disarm citizens by denying them weapons, while retaining monstrous weapons in the hands of the state. | |
| It is the same with morality. | |
| Open your mind. | |
| Open your eyes. | |
