Stupid or Evil, does it matter?
The COVID mitigation measures were obviously not going to work. It was also obvious that they would all do more harm than good. So why did we do any of it? That is a question I have asked repeatedly on this blog. The answer I keep coming back to is that the people involved were either incredibly evil or incredibly stupid.
Governments are full of stupid people. but not everyone involved with government is stupid. Some are just evil. I like to describe government as a handful of sociopaths sprinkled among an army of useful idiots. The sociopaths easily manipulate the useful idiots. Every problem caused by government, which is almost every problem ordinary people face, is then the result of some combination of government malice and government incompetence.
This is the nature of government. Government is a necessary evil, a rabid dog that must be kept on a very short leash. And that is the crux of the problem. We have failed to keep government on a short leash. We let government grow and do many terrible things.
That insight should sober us. A society that tolerates the systematic erosion of individual judgment in favor of ideological obedience does not drift into danger accidentally. It chooses it. Slowly, joyfully, and with applause.
Evil rarely needs to conquer a free people. It only needs them to stop thinking.
The list of terrible things western governments has done is very long but right at the top is unrestricted immigration and multiculturalism. The useful idiots in government no doubt truly believe that we are somehow enriched by this toxic combination, but it is not possible that the sociopaths believe this. The data has never supported the idiotic claim that diversity is a strength.
the greater the diversity in a community, the fewer people vote and the less the volunteer, the less they give to charity and work on community projects. In the most diverse communities, neighbors trust one another about half as much as they do in the most homogenous settings.

Which is exactly why 38 years ago the Canadian Security and Intelligence Services issued this warning to the Canadian government about the danger of multiculturalism.
Canada’s spy agency warned nearly four decades ago that rising immigration levels could undermine national security, according to a newly released CSIS memo that flagged the immigration stream itself as a growing source of threats.
Multiculturalism itself was cited as a complicating factor. CSIS warned that some newcomers could interpret official policy as tolerance for communalism, allowing Canada to be used as a base for émigré political activity, “even to the extent of using violence.”
The sociopaths ignored those warnings, and the useful idiots didn’t understand them. Canada continued down the destructive “diversity is our strength” path and here we are. We now have a fractured country. Canada isn’t Canada anymore.
Canada is undergoing a quiet but profound erosion of national cohesion, authority and cultural confidence. At every level of government, political leadership has increasingly substituted ideological appeasement for the basic responsibilities of maintaining social order, enforcing the law and protecting the integrity of Canadian citizenship.
Canada once was a high trust prosperous society. Now we have immigrant gangs extorting businesses.
Nearly 40 extortion-related incidents have been reported in Surrey this month alone, many of them violent.
“Surrey is facing a serious and growing crisis of organized extortion, intimidation and targeted shootings,” Locke said.
“Residents and business owners are living in constant fear. Public safety is at risk, and the social and economic impact is real.
And ideological morons in black robes who ignore the law if the law might be inconvenient for criminal migrants
However, Lewis’ attorney, Ali Kothawala, urged Judge Ray Phillips to impose a conditional discharge, meaning the conviction would not appear on his client’s criminal record, and therefore, he might not face deportation.
Canada was WOKE before the term was even coined. That means Canada is further down this road than most countries. Canada should serve as a cautionary tale to other countries that have chosen the same path, and there are a lot of them. The US has a Diversity Immigration Immigrant Program which is just a lottery based on the premise that there are too many white people in the US.
The Diversity Immigrant Visa Program (DV Program) makes up to 50,000 immigrant visas available annually, drawn from random selection among all entries to individuals who are from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States. The DV Program is administered by the U.S. Department of State (DOS).
Not to be outdone, Spain has recently decided to give legal status to 500,000 criminals to realize the nonexistent “positive Impact” of allowing freeloaders to collect welfare.
left-wing government has approved a plan to grant legal status to around 500,000 undocumented migrants – a move that has sparked fury on the right – marking a sharp break with tougher policies elsewhere in Europe.
Migration Minister Elma Saiz said the beneficiaries would be allowed to work ‘in any sector, in any part of the country’, hailing what she described as the ‘positive impact’ of migration.
The useful idiots in Spain’s government went home feeling very virtuous after this announcement. On the other hand, the sociopaths understand the consequences of this will be delightfully painful. It won’t be long before Spanish newspapers have the similar headlines as the Telegraph just published in Britain.
How many more British girls must be raped before the Left admits the truth about asylum?
Modern western governments are simultaneously evil and stupid. Stupid programs start as an idea driven by malice. It is then implemented and enforced out of shear stupidity. I am certain that some programs do not start with evil intentions. They are driven by stupidity from inception. But does it matter? The end point is the same. Citizens are harmed whether the policy is born from government stupidity or government Malice.
This will continue for as long as we allow it to continue. Citizens must take back control of their rogue governments. No one voted for this. Why do we put up with it?
