European Healthcare vs. American Capital Punishment

Where does injustice lie?

 

 

The difference between the U.S. and the EU today is that, with the exception of the shared practice of abortion, the U.S. puts its guilty to death and the EU kills its innocents.

 

The difference between a Constitutional Republic "with liberty and justice for all" and the EU model is not only liberty, but justice, which places the EU right at the doorstep of tyranny.

 

The fact that the UN is orientated towards EU-style tyranny should be no surprise, as the inheritor of the League of Nations concept, which was, in its first, a European construct centered around European matters based on a European ideology that was based on the contemporary zeitgeist of centralization and elitist rule based on the largely Machiavellian notion, still in place after the horrors of both World Wars, that the common man is crude, cannot be trusted, does not cry or bleed as do the effete, and must be controlled. This is not to say that an international body such as the UN is evil in general concept, but every ship will take on the disposition of its captain.

 

Although there are certainly numerous Europeans who love democracy and loathe the tyranny they now face and whose lives may be cut short in the most drawn-out and heinously merciless ways because of its disregard for the rights of men, they are sadly in a minority, whose status as such the state sees to it is perpetuated. EU states generally tightly control education and news media by requiring students attend public school and that journalists earn degrees from public institutions and be licensed by the state. Those throughout Europe who watch television are often even required to first obtain a license - and such laws aren't paper tigers.

 

What results is a constant Orwellian drone of the statist narrative with near exclusivity, ensuring the state's interests are protected first and that the people do not know what is happening to them. Of course, it is not really the "state" that benefits from this arrangement, since the "state" can neither appreciate nor discern beneficial things from bad, but rather, as it always has been, it is those who control the rudders of such ships, those in high office and their fellow elites in academia who benefit.

 

While the people are brainwashed into believing less and poorer healthcare is good because at least everyone has it, that private ownership of guns being banned is good because it prevents tragic accidents or deliberate violent crimes from occurring; while they may have been taught that owning a car or too big a refrigerator pollutes the earth and causes global warming with gasses that trees need in order to survive, and while they may be taught that thinking for oneself is anathema and hideously selfish, the elites in power are provided a different and better tier of healthcare, are safeguarded with gates and guns, are shuttled around in limousines, feed on exquisite meals from very large personal kitchens with very large refrigerators, and they generally praise one another for not conforming their thoughts to those of the common man, but for “seeing above the clouds” or the vulgar narrative.

 

In short, European “compassion” and European “justice” have become the biggest scam ever perpetuated by a governing elite too cowardly to impose the iron fist of overt tyranny and in some ways crueler for it. Its velvet fist of passive-aggressive cruelty leaves its people only the option of a slow death. Rather than being swiftly and decisively stomped by the jackboot of a thug, the people there are tied to a wall as the other wall slowly inches towards them and over a great and agonizing length of time, crushes them.

 

This soft tyranny is indeed more effective: it often leaves its prey confused and unsure if they are really the victims of something. This perhaps then is the worst kind of drowning: when you don’t even know that you are and are unable to do anything about it. It is important, therefore, for those who do realize what is going on in Europe to speak up.

 

Today opposition media formats such as the internet provide a way to do this without invasive government control. Until the tide of the battle begins to turn, however, the EU for the foreseeable future will remain a land of cruelty and injustice for its citizens while for its elites in government and academia obscenely satisfactory living with all the basics and all the luxuries its heavily-taxed citizens are denied (it is neither given to them, nor are they allowed to provide it for themselves).

 

The U.S. has historically since its independence, and even before, been seen as cruel and barbaric. Long before the myth of anthroprogenic global warming, the French and other European elites propagated this notion:

 

They spoke - and wrote, prolifically - of the degeneration of plant and animal life in America.

 

They believed America had emerged from the ocean millennia after the old continents; and that accounted for the cultural inferiority of civilisations that tried to plant themselves there.

 

This narrative carried over into other perceptions of America, as we clearly have seen with the perception of violent murderers is put to death for crimes against the people as being also somehow barbaric never mind the fact the one being put to death is the barbarian, in the European elite mind, all Americans are barbarian and there is no distinction among them.

 

In the EU, it is often seen by those in power as barbaric to formulate policy based on the notion of justice for the “common people”, but not barbaric to force Europeans to go months in pain and unable to work as they wait for a root canal, be lined up in the dirty hallways of backward and understaffed hospitals, “cued up”, and as they wait for hours or days for “emergency” services after a serious injury. Or when they die in excruciating pain as they wait for a necessarily aggressive cancer treatment that never materializes because it wasn’t in the state’s interest. This is seen as not cruel at all to those in power throughout most of Europe, because to the common man there can be no such thing as cruelty; for, cruelty is a concept which only the truly refined, privileged, and effete can understand when it is visited upon them. Indeed, if that be so, perhaps it should be so visited.

 

In the meantime, Americans should remember that this selfsame and backward elitist way of thinking is what drove the colonists to birth the ideas that led to them fighting for and winning their independence from European control. The idea of justice for the “common man” and the realization that he is quite uncommon and that justice only occurs when that man sees his worth and stands up for it willingly alone but here in sufficient numbers as to seize and hold on to the reins of power, is what makes America unique.

 

That our government was designed so that its parts would be the least inclined to turn on the people it was established to serve is also unique as an idea. That regardless of station, bad people suffer and good people are shown mercy is yet another brought to full flower as never before in the history of man. When I say “the difference between the U.S. and the EU today is that, with the exception of the shared practice of abortion, the U.S. puts its guilty to death and the EU kills its innocents, “ this is what I mean.

 

The notion that any man is common is the true anathema; that there are some who are better than others and by right not only are more fit to govern but to enjoy the opportunity for wealth denied the many or to deny the mercy God requires for each or the justice required for all is an idea that fails the very test of humanity. Like communism, it should be thrown upon the ash heap of history as an idea so kindred as to be indistinguishable from communism or fascism in its most basic premise and thus, its most inevitable and essential outcome. Instead, let the people live free and unmolested by the wicked in high places or low and let the just inherit the earth.
