Land without courage

Tomorrow Michael Esfeld's book "Land ohne Mut" will be published by Achgut Edition. In it, he describes how we can fend off the collectivists' attack on open society and the rule of law by returning to reason. Here is an excerpt from the chapter "Beyond Corona: the New Totalitarianism".


Increasingly, the state seeks to impose responsibility for all manner of ills on its citizens, whether it is the alleged discrimination against minorities, the spread of a respiratory virus, or the damage to the world's climate. Central government bodies or supra-national bodies even presume to dictate to people how they should move or eat in order to prevent the alleged evils. Citizens must buy the freedoms to which they are actually entitled unconditionally by complying with lockdowns, compulsory masks or social passports. "Totalitarianism is characterized by unlimited social control and unlimited regulation of people's lives by a political authority," Esfeld writes. Both corona and climate alarmism aim to direct the actions of society and politics toward preventing the great catastrophe.
[...]
The Corona, Climate, War, and Wokeness regimes have in common to artificially deplete resources. Lockdowns and other Corona measures weaken a country's economy. The climate regime and the war regime with economic sanctions deplete available energy. Wokeness with favoritism for certain minorities prevents all from developing their talents for the benefit of all. The scarcity of resources then serves as an occasion to expand state control, with state bodies allocating resources, granting access to them, or simply denying them. This applies first to the economy, but then also to private consumption. War is deliberately used to build this regime: First, a war is staged against a virus and against climate change; then, an actual war - Russia's attack on Ukraine - is used as an occasion to install a kind of war economy in the Western world with deliberately induced energy shortages.


At this point, we come full circle to the mechanism described above, through which this regime builds itself up: Everyday actions are placed under general suspicion of harming others. One washes oneself clean of this suspicion by means of a social passport like a vaccination certificate. This social passport can then be used to allocate resources. In the past, during and after wars, people tried to control scarcity of resources with ration cards and the like; today, this can be done digitally and specifically as a reward for compliant behavior. An obvious example is the allocation of energy depending on allegedly climate-protecting behavior. Equally, however, access to energy and food can be made contingent on conformity to the Corona regime in the form of regular covid vaccinations and, more generally, any kind of conforming behavior imposed by a political authority. Consequently, one not only gets back what were once liberty rights as a reward for conforming behavior. More than that, one also receives the resources important for survival, such as energy and food, which were once freely available on the market, only allocated in dependence on socially conforming behavior.


Allocation to food and energy via social passports may still seem like an unfounded horror forecast at the moment. But much of what initially seemed like an unfounded horror prognosis, dismissed as "conspiracy theory," has become reality in recent years, up to and including permanent mask-wearing as an outward sign of social conformity and the plan of lifelong covid vaccinations advanced by the World Health Organization, among others. Non-conformists - and these are ultimately all those who do not want to have their previous way of life destroyed and who are merely demanding their basic rights - can be driven to economic, social and ultimately physical ruin in this way. This is indeed the ultimate consequence: triage by means of social passports, so that only those survive who conform to the respective specifications. These are then the new people, who no longer spread harmful viruses, no longer damage the climate, exercise social justice towards minorities, etc. - whereby they naturally only do what is declared as such behavior in each case, and according to the matter there is nothing more behind it than the corresponding declaration.
