_very_ unsurprising, but it is a public service to write this up

My key authors—Arendt, Scott, Łobaczewski, Orlov, Scheidel, Le Bon, Toynbee, Graeber, Jung, and Shklar—converge on a clear-eyed diagnosis of the current Canadian situation. Arendt sees in it the banality of bureaucratic evil: civil servants applying procedures without genuine moral judgment, as in the handling of complaints at the Bar or the expansion of MAiD. Scott recognizes in it the logic of high modernity: the state reduces human complexity (attachment to one's home, deep convictions, freedom of conscience) to simple administrative categories, producing an uncorrectable visibility. Łobaczewski speaks of a soft pathocracy, where the system naturally selects those who adapt to the coldness of procedure. Orlov sees in it the first signs of political and social closure, while Scheidel sees a rigidification of the elites that blocks mobility and accumulates tensions. Toynbee would diagnose a petrification of the creative elites who have become dominant: instead of responding creatively to challenges, they protect themselves with administrative and ideological routines, accelerating the internal decline of a civilization. Graeber would emphasize the absurd and violent bureaucratic dimension: the system imposes useless and restrictive rules that stifle human imagination and creativity, transforming citizens into mere subjects. Jung, with his concept of enantiodromia (the swing of the pendulum), would add that any tendency pushed to extremes eventually generates its opposite: the more technocratic and administrative closure intensifies, the more it generates existential fatigue and resistance that, at some point, will tip in the other direction. Shklar would warn that the worst vice is cruelty, and that liberal societies must above all prevent the systematic use of fear and humiliation; she would see in Canada’s growing bureaucratic and cultural closure a slow erosion of basic personal freedom that creates quiet fear and undermines human dignity. Le Bon would finally remind us that people tolerate this closure for a long time as long as the discourse remains coherent, but that a saturation point can be suddenly crossed, leading to a brutal and emotional reversal. In Canada, we are not experiencing violent persecution, but rather a profound and insidious transformation: a legal, administrative, and cultural closure that wears us down slowly rather than striking us directly, while simultaneously creating the conditions for its own future rejection. We are not returning to the world as it was before; we are moving toward a new configuration where the tension between technocratic control and human resistance will remain permanent.In Quebec and Canada, we are not (yet) in a situation of “civil war” in the classical sense of the term, like the one some European analysts fear for the United Kingdom or France. Rather, we are in an advanced stage of societal fracture and institutional closure, which already exhibits several precursors of a gradual balkanization. The most visible division is regional and cultural: Alberta and parts of the Prairies feel increasingly alienated from Ottawa, perceived as a centralizing elite that imposes policies (carbon tax, energy restrictions, mass immigration) contrary to their economic interests and their identity. In Quebec, the tension is twofold: on the one hand, a historical resistance to federal centralization (Legault and Quebec nationalism), and on the other, a growing divide between rural/traditional regions and major urban centers (especially Montreal), where demographics are changing rapidly and debates on identity, secularism, and reasonable accommodation remain heated. This divide is not yet violent, but it is deep and is being expressed through political, cultural, and economic tensions.

And those that would compel us with threat or use of force .. well in 1973 SCOTUS ruled that the insane-evil was to be accepted, and it broke our minds and now open genocide doesn't move us much when before 1973 ruling a single run burned girl in Vietnam fire-up the entire world with passion to end those crimes .. what changed?

I wonder how many of the convictions on denouncing Jews were like the one featured, denouncing both Danes and Jews? In other words, not representative of a Danish pro-Nazi sentiment?

Anyone that interferes with your speech, that come between what you want to say to the world and me is a crime against me and the world and the future people, not only a crime to you or anyone being censored - it can be consider a form False-Witness, that is an inverted lie of absence, that is if you don't provide some information that any reasonable person would know should be included.

Like you might say that a horrible crime of putting a nazi symbol on a synagogue door, and you left out that it was the rabbi to stir up sympathy, but you leave it out of the story.

Now if you are sending me a sequence of messages, and someone with control of the message sending system and removes one that is a for of False witness.

The reason that I consider anyone that censors of manipulates or amplified or .. is dangerous because they believe they are you Master and manipulating what you learn and think about, and so that person or programmed system is altering and shaping your mind and your reactions and to them you are a golem that they would if they could profit from your harmful or deadly reactions, and to them you are no more a bug.

They have Contempt of God and Man. Their breathing is a threat to us and all we love and could love.

So much false-witnessing! Using Thomistic Theology I have proposed a solution ..

Emil, thanks for using your analytical talents on anti-free speech laws.

"...but at least the state itself does not persecute you."

At least most of the time.
