As opposed to the “Great Reset” would it be better perhaps to advocate for a “Great Restoration”? The idea of sweeping away the old in favor of what is seen by many as just the continued rebranding of Marxism becomes a frightening proposition that only ignorance fails to acknowledge. Marxism/socialism/communism enacted in today’s digital world would be nearly impossible to escape. How can we be certain that the next thing will be better given that it appears to advocate for the surrender of all our basic rights? The more controls that are enacted for “the common good” the less good seems to exist. We can see this clearly as the federal government continues to invade individual liberty and erect more restraint while all the while unrest continues to grow on both ends of the political spectrum.

Coupled with the massive wealth redistribution of the last two decades which has thrown generations to come into massive debt, is there any doubt that the objective of the globalists “reset” is to destroy the existing system to such a substantial degree as to force the populous into begging for change? Change that to any intelligent-minded individual can only be seen as a unified control system that punishes the traditional individual’s pursuit of happiness and instead promotes the false individualism of cultural/race/gender diversity but offers no substantive progress.

What if we wanted to maintain our individual rights, our ideals and our way of life? Could we find a way to curb the globalist agenda? Advocating for a restoration of values necessary to righting the ship should be the goal, as opposed to ripping the heart from the body of the “great experiment”. We should be asking why there’s such a rush to throw away such a precious gift in favor of a “new” system. The reasons we’ve been given are so clearly nonsensical that it begs further investigation. Security, equity, social justice, “inclusivity” and the host of other current buzzwords ring hollow when they’re being championed by the same people who advocate for taking away free speech, the right to bear arms, by those who clamber against organized religion, and advocate for the destruction of western civilization and “white people”. Whereas we should be advocating for collective success there is only finger-pointing and name-calling.

And while traditional western values have sins to answer for, without them we would never have gotten to a place where our collective allows all to attempt to prosper and succeed. Throwing the baby out with the bathwater seems a bit drastic. The new ideas of universal basic income, compelled speech, wealth redistribution, vaccination travel papers, etc. all making inroads into the collective consciousness of the nation are merely old failed ideas that were implemented in the 20th century. Ideas that oversaw the deaths of countless millions in Germany, Russia, China and other communist regimes. Even in moderate socialist states the failures created by governments placing a security umbrella over all are evident. Venezuela tried to use its wealth to give everything to everyone. Its rise and subsequent fall were monumental. And here in the United States is there any doubt that the incorporated media/political juggernaut is attempting to circumvent rights and freedoms by offering the same teat of a sweet, but ultimately unfulfilling, alternative to the “pursuit of happiness”?
There should be no doubt that trying to bypass the “pursuit” is in fact the most damaging blow that can be leveled against our freedom. Without the struggle there is no satisfaction, only the greed for more. And every time this government has given, the people have asked like the orphan Oliver for more. Only now instead of a quiet wavering voice begging in fear, they have become a loud and petulant child demanding satisfaction.

Right now small and large businesses alike are desperate for labor, and even more desperate for GOOD labor. Yet we see that where the handouts begin there lack of incentive to work follows. If we move to reset the system, what incentives will be in place to maintain a workforce capable of performing even the basic tasks? Previously we saw the demand for a substantial hike in minimum wage. That hike belies the amount of intelligence and effort needed to perform those most basic of tasks. But government fell prey to the pressure of listening to “the squeaky wheel” while ignoring the blown engine. And the wage increases have already had a detrimental effect on small business; where applied, we see no increase in the quality of work performed, we see no pride in a job well done, and we see that the increase has not improved morale or productivity. Additionally, the increases have shuttered many small businesses entirely, thus consolidating corporate power. The few increase their power at the cost of the many. True diversity is destroyed.

Ultimately, the reset doesn’t work because you can’t overcome thousands of years of evolution. Humans require struggle, they require “the pursuit”. We weren’t insured happiness because the base state of humanity is suffering. Do nothing and you suffer the consequences. Struggle, strive, persevere and you can maintain a tenuous level of happiness, with a little luck, perhaps you can propel yourself to a place where the struggle is mitigated to such a degree as to be non-existent. The pursuit doesn’t end there however.

How can these advocates for a “reset” not realize that humans need struggle? The short answer is that they don’t care. They want to propel humanity to new levels and there’s no need for average humans in their equations. Placate, reduce and ultimately eradicate the huddled masses. Feed them chemically-laden food-like products, pump them with medicines that do not cure, let them be satiated with cheap entertainment and unfulfilling existences. Meanwhile the “worthy” can press forward.

It’s a fail/fail proposition. The base population will become cattle, while the elite will become undisciplined. The entire system will only collapse into chaos.

We need a restoration of values, rights and responsibilities. We need to turn away from security and embrace the struggle. We need accountability, but we also need to not take offense at every slight against us. We need to reinstate the family and the community as the primary educators of the young, we need to rely less on indoctrination and more on educating individualism. We need to reduce our dependence on handouts by enabling people to think for themselves. We need to instill pride in accomplishment and throw away the participation awards. We need to reduce our investment in what’s on our screens and invigorate our own imaginations. We need to create satisfaction in the here and now and not peddle the false gods of fame and fortune. The soulless and disposable lives of Hollywood should offer us nothing beyond a fleeting moment of entertainment, they should not dictate our politics and culture. We must replace the spectacle with substance. We must discard the subjective, the editorial and the speculative for the objective, from which we can derive our own thoughts. And only WE THE PEOPLE are capable of moving the needle back to sanity. We’ve been hemmed in to the point we’re almost suffocated, but we are still breathing.
