Removal of social and then economic restraints. What’s next?

Used to be that social pressure would conserve societal norms.

Economic pressure also helps with societal norms.

But these pressures have been demonized.

Societal norms died when people could no longer disapprove of another’s behavior and then voice that disapproval or act on it by not accepting it.

Economic norms still exist but are challenged by crazy things like “bake the cake” that require a free person to bake a cake that does not agree with their societal values. This eliminates the power of the individual to wield a personal economic defense.

In fact, the opposite has occurred. It’s now flipped.

Societal pressure is used to shout down anyone that doesn’t follow the government theme. “Racist, homophobe, denier”, etc.

Economic pressure is used to softly ban books on amazon, lock business out of payment processing, etc.

What’s next is force. Brutal government force.

We are on the edge of mandated vaccines. That is brutal force. Not socital pressure; not economic pressure (although that’s certainly in the cards too)... mandated vaccines is an assault on a person with raw force. That’s it.

Not good.
