A slow shift towards something new is in order - now, while we still have - maybe - a small remain of control and influence. The social wellfare state as we know it, is unsustainable.



Preferrably we start relaising that the problem also is the idea and concept of a state itself. Becasue we cannot hold a state accountable. When state mismanaged something - and it does that a lot - it has no consequences for "state". It cannot be sued. Also, state can at any time - and always does so, all the time - uniliaterally chnage the terms and conditoons of its relation to "citizens". Whereas citizens in return cannot do that.



Needless to say that those thinking they benefit from "state", support it. Thats why there is a professional officialdom. But if you think about it: its nothing else but bribery, at the cost of the non-officials. And there is nothing that "state" that could not be provided by private service providers as well. Even settling of legal disputes. Even police work. Even military defence.


In the end, every state is just a giant wallow of corruption, bribery, and looting that legitimises itself by forming a mob that is stronger than the other mobs. What rules is the law of the jungle. And nobody knows that better than the state itself.



Reason alone obviously is not sufficient to make people understand this in huge numbers. So - once again - they will need to be lectured by reality cracking down on them. My pity will be extremely limited. Pain and suffering are the best teachers.
