Soft Tyranny

                  Soft Tyranny

Lies and deceptions are the calling cards of the tyrant because human truth does not lead to tyranny. Tyranny is a logical step only when there is a distorted view of reality. And it is the tyrant who must create it.

But deception isn't always evil; sometimes it's just dumb.

‘Nonpharmaceutical Interventions’, ‘Targeted Layered Containments’, or, in the words of Dr. Fauci “public health measures,” are all euphemisms for lockdowns. 

Certainly, these phrases are created to make the unreasonable more palatable.

And this collection of non-sequiturs from AOC on the banning of the Olympic sprinter. “The criminalization and banning of cannabis is an instrument of racist and colonial policy. The IOC should reconsider its suspension of Ms. Richardson and any athletes penalized for cannabis use,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted on Friday. I don't care about their policy--although I'd rather see her run--but "racist and colonial policy?" Dizzyingly stupid.
