“It is especially dangerous to enslave men in the minor details of life. Freedom is less necessary in great things than in little ones. Subjection in minor affairs breaks out every day. It does not drive men to resistance, but it crosses them at every turn, till they are led to surrender the exercise of their will. Thus their spirit is gradually broken and their character enervated. (De Tocqueville, “Democracy in America”)
Once you see the politicians’ love for Costco, know that this institution is working hand in hand with the business of the government, and so they share the benefits.
To Costco, selling those goodies is chicken fee! The business of obedience is much more lucrative than mere merchandising!
It’s way more lucrative and easier for these businessmen to keep digging into the government funds, which are virtually unlimited, and also unaccounted for. One thing is needful: to keep the masses giving away the fruits of their labor to the government.
To systematically steal from its citizens, the government needs complete control over people. And that’s what the Costco policies help the government to achieve – the social compliance. And the same people have been running both Costco and the government from the beginning. They use every trick to keep people duped, belittled, obedient.
By now, to justify its existence, the government seized in its hands the essential services: mail, road maintenance, garbage disposal, security, and fire fighting. As if independent businesses could not provide all of these! The government is using them to position itself as essential to people. With merchandisers like Costco in its hands, the government is gaining even stronger grasp over people’s lives. This creates conditions people cannot avoid.
But the ultimate purpose of this video is not to whine about something that‘s out of our control, but to see when do we allow an abuse and where our powers are.
