The vaccination hysteria is unfolding like a slow moving horror show. The feeling of relief that many newly vaccinated felt on leaving the clinic is morphing into doubt and concern. This is evident everywhere, with the vaccinated far more likely to obsess about mask wearing than are the unvaccinated. But the mask is no more effective in stopping the spread of the virus than trousers are in stopping the spread of a fart. Everybody knows this by now. Hence, denial is setting in among the vaccinated. Facts are deliberately ignored in order to keep their false sense of safety going a little longer.
An interesting consequence of this is that trust in government is about to fall off a cliff. Trust in politicians is already very low, but this latest hoax hoisted upon the public by professional liars is going to send trust into negative territory. The anarchist world view, as expressed in the Bible, will take off in a big way.
Nowhere in the New Testament are we told to trust the Great Merchants, the Beast or Great Babylon. They are our enemies, and must be treated as such. The exact same holds for libertarian anarchy. Corporations, the state and politicians are not to be trusted. They are our enemies, not our friends. The two ideologies are two sides of the same coin. Liberty is mentioned in the book of Revelation as the child of Europe, and is protected by God. The same book is also clear about the distinction between true Christians and people who are only Christian in name. True Christians don't cooperate with the evils of the world. They fight it in the exact same way that libertarian anarchists go about it.
Recommended strategies include evasion, non-compliance, and white lies. Direct confrontation and brute force are not recommended because the Beast is so much bigger than any one individual, and will simply crush whoever comes in its way. Much better to stay out of its reach and focus on community, friends and family instead.
I've followed this strategy for most of my adult life, and I wrote a book about it a few years ago when I finally managed to put it all together into a complete system. The book is secular with no mention of God. However, true Christians will find nothing to object about. There's no conflict between what I recommend and what the Bible prescribes.
The benefits to me personally have been great. I've achieved much personal freedom and saved myself a great deal of expenses through my low profile strategy. But the greatest benefit may be yet to come, because the strategy implies much suspicion towards anything vigorously pushed by the state. It was therefore easy for me to remain unimpressed by the vaccine hysteria. I'm not vaccinated, nor is my wife, stepdaughter and two of my sons. The reward for this may turn out to be immense. That all depends on how horrific things turn out to be as the true scope of side-effects become apparent. But even now, the benefits are real. We sleep soundly at night in the knowledge that we haven't injected ourselves with something that may potentially kill us.
A further benefit to the anarchist model is that we know what to do when confronted with strangers at our door. Anyone coming to us on behalf of the state are immediately recognized as enemy scouts. They don't deserve our cooperation. There's no moral obligation to treat them well, or to answer their question honestly. On the contrary, we need to keep these people as clueless as possible. Deception is therefore the best strategy. Be friendly and polite. Praise their work if need be. Tell a white lie or two. Refrain from giving them any more information than what they already have.
Faced with a census here in Portugal, in the middle of the pandemic, we decided to give honest answers. The census didn't contain questions that warranted any white lies, partly because my status as a foreigner living legitimately in Porto is confusing in itself. Bureaucrats are used to dealing with locals. Foreigners, on the other hand, are difficult. They are affiliated with other states. Things can get complicated if they decide to challenge me. Suddenly, they have to deal with bureaucrats of a different state, and that's the last thing the average coffee drinking desk-fascist wants to get involved in.
However, had the census contained any questions about our intentions and opinions on matters related to politics or the vaccine, we would have answered in ways that would have made us blend into the general population as much as possible. There's no point in marking ourselves as targets for further observations. The last thing we should do in this war waged against non-conformists is to give aid to our enemies. Truth and honesty are reserved exclusively for our allies, much in the same way that politicians talk honestly among themselves while lying to the public.
