Servitude and Slavery

Posted by Bob on July 21, 2009 at 4:52 pm


"Servitude is doing what you do not want to do. It doesn’t matter if YOU are wielding your own whip.

Servitude should ONLY be engaged in for loyalty or reward. For any
other reason it is slavery. Which leads us back to the whip I
mentioned.

Aryans spend a large part of their lives whipping themselves for what
they “ought” to be doing. This is not slavery if overcoming lethargy
will result in a REWARD or a SERVICE to the group to which one has a
loyalty. For example, I know that I would spend a lot less time in
depression if I got up and exercised first thing in the morning.

Now that I have lived so long, I know me well enough to understand
that often I won’t do that “ought,” so I forgive myself. I force
myself into enough exercise for my health.

In my Aryan youth, I could not really forgive myself for not doing all
that I “ought” to have done. I had two nervous breakdowns to prove it.

I might have avoided the actual breakdowns if I hadn’t spent the
little rest time I had whipping myself over what I “ought” to have
done additionally.

I might have avoided the actual breakdowns if I hadn’t spoiled the
satisfaction of what I WAS doing by worrying over whether I shouldn’t
be doing something else, if my priorities were straight.

Many, many times my priorities hadn’t been straight, and I kicked
myself over THAT. As a result, my priorities worries at work were
worse. Working while you are saying to yourself, “You remember the
last time you got off track? You may be doing that again” is a
shortcut to a breakdown.

That is whipping yourself for its own sake. That is not servitude,
that is SLAVERY. The fact that you are your own overseer makes it
worse, not better.

No matter what the law says, slavery occurs when you do not ask, “What
is in this for ME or MINE?” Libertarianism makes the fatal mistake of
taking the MINE out of the equation.

As I have pointed out before, if the MINE or natural loyalty were
taken out, no one would vote libertarian. No one would vote at all.
The potential reward to YOURSELF from your vote, if you are doing a
PERSONAL cost-benefit analysis, is zero. You vote because you want
your SOCIETY to go a certain way.

If libertarianism and its theoretical expression, Public Choice, can’t
even explain why people vote it certainly cannot explain the rest of
life.

Under pure Public Choice Theory, as all the experts in that field
agree, no votes would occur, no public choices would be made. They
admit they can’t doesn’t explain why people vote, but they don’t worry
about that.

Then they proceed to explain HOW people vote. You cannot explain HOW
people vote if your logic tells you they should not vote at all.
People only vote because they care how their SOCIETY goes. Only
loyalty explains why people vote at all.

Libertarians make this basic mistake because of their own SLAVISH
thinking.

Often the person welding the whip of slavery is not you. It is someone
you do not realize is your Master.

Anyone who tells you what you want is a PREJUDICE rather than a
PREFERENCE is your Master. All libertarians allow an Ayn Rand or some
other overseer to tell them that all loyalty is PREJUDICE because it
is not PURE self-interest.

With what we know now about the behavior of every social animal,
loyalty is as natural to man as sex, and for the same reason.
Libertarians all have overseers. They are all slaves."
