RED STATE: Stop falling for the term 'safety'.

I’m beyond sick and tired of the term “safety.” The left has inadvertently conditioned me to hear the word and immediately associate it with manipulation and attempts at control through fear.

It's not inadvertent.

Leftist entities are consistently attempting to push some sort of freedom-reducing measure on the general populace in the name of “safety.” We always have something to fear according to them, and the only way to avoid a disaster of epic proportions is to give the left more power. It’s the only way to keep our country “safe.”

Think TSA. I've given up flying anywhere less than 300 miles away and pretty much given up on flying anywhere.

Think lockdowns due to the COVID pandemic. The economic costs must be in the trillions of dollars by now, and what our children have lost in education is probably irretrievable.

We also apparently need to be kept “safe” from misinformation.

Much, if not most of which was and is true. But not to worry, Twitter, Google, Facebook and corporate America is stepping up to the plate to 'protect' us....

Anyone claiming to suppress you for your own safety isn’t doing it for your own safety. They’re doing it for their own benefit. We need to treat this word with a lot more suspicion than we do.

Keep in mind, it's about control; it's always about control.

I'd recommend reading the whole thing but it's behind a paywall. Here's what you may be missing.
