Law and Order
At any given moment, somewhere on the Earth, the dance of harmony and dissonance plays out with marked dispassion. There will always be locations and expressions of aggression, violence, chaos, and crime just as there will always be points and expressions of passiveness, compromise, peace and relative order. There will always be butterlies on flowers and Praying Mantises stalking their prey. The question we should be asking is, which expression do we wish to manifest most in our location in time and space (nation, neighborhood, family, etc.). Pretending we can eliminate evil forces from the human condition is not only fullhardy but risks a sort of “possession” that polarities naturally promote. That said, we certainly don’t need to nod in approval of every wayward act and think of newer ways to motivate the morally challenged.
If one supposes crime can be eliminated by merely addressing issues of “social Justice” (letting criminals “off the hook”), one is bound to get the catastrophe that is current day San Francisco, Portland, and Philadelphia, etc. One would hopefully recognize that criminal expressions are indeed a bad thing for the rest of us, and that somewhere in the equation there is a need to hold individuals accountable for their actions, (in spite of what societal factors may have been of influence).
Fortunately, an excess of “order” inevitably breaks down (though North Korea appears to be thus far immune) but, conversely, chaos is bound to lead to ”an equal and opposite reaction” — think Weimar ➡️Third Reich.
Collectivist philosophy inevitably begins as a catalyst to chaos as it seeks to break down the old order. When the new “system” is successfully implemented, history can always count on a harsh clampdown — “we’ve got our revolution, now put your toys away, line up, and obey.”
In a — relatively — free society honest awareness of crime, chaos, and disruption is essential to maintaining enough societal stability to allow citizens to go about their lives pursuing happiness and contributing to civilization’s progress.
An honest natural order knows that thinking and speaking freely is not a crime. The same honest awareness knows that stealing from a local store or committing acts of violence surely is. Today’s milquetoast revolutionary no longer knows what crime is. With moral bearings askew, they vote for prosecutors and legislators who will guarantee greater concern and sympathy for the most despicable among us while turning a blind eye to harmed innocence.
In America, we hear of “Soros prosecutors” as if lots of well-funded campaign advertising prods people to support the floodgates of violence. The voting public has been largely indoctrinated over decades by “entertainment” and pathetic public schools that have successfuly diefied the reckless and criminal while chastising the simple virtues of the sound and stable past.
As long as people continue to be easily deceived by the charlatans of mock-compassion (e.g. Democrats), they will live in cities lined with needles, excrement, and threats of bodily harm.
This is all just another run of the perennial socialist gimmick to elicit obedience and conformity. As long as the farce continues we can expect the usual cycle of chaos and decline followed by state approved violence and bondage.
Too bad….
