Don't Look for Leaders

There's an outspoken judge in Portugal who've made it his mission to fight the impending medical tyranny pushed by politicians and media alike. I learned about him during my conversation with my wife's friend the other day. However, she had little faith in the judge's ability to oppose the forces of tyranny, and I didn't see his approach as sensible either. I have little faith in the legal system's ability to sort anything out, especially in a situation like the one we're in, where the political and judicial systems have been captured by the tyrants.

As it happens, our skepticism has now been proven correct. The judge has been barred from practicing his profession, and his eccentric approach to legal matters has been ridiculed in the press. Anyone associated with him has likewise been labeled as dim witted.  In the end, all that was achieved by the judge was the creation of a straw-man for his opposition to use against him and his followers. The judge's efforts came to nothing. Anyone who pinned their hopes on him have been similarly defeated.

This is why we should never rally around leaders, nor protest in groups. The correct approach in the face of tyranny is for every individual to act autonomously in whatever fashion makes sense given his or her particular circumstances. We need to identify friends and allies, and we should discuss matters of common interest with them. However, there's no need for a leader, nor parades and manifestations. The network effect is vastly more efficient. If every one of us play our cards as best we can within our circle of influence, sentiments will change.

Sentiments today are decidedly less positive towards vaccines, politicians and media people than they were only a few months back, and this has happened without any clear leader, so we know that this strategy works. As long as we keep pushing our counter narrative, each in our own way, the momentum will be sustained, and things will change through popular demand. No leader is needed for this to happen, because it isn't the loud or the strong that win in the end. Rather, it's the meek that will inherit the earth.
