People Should Not Be Afraid of Their Governments. Governments Should Be Afraid of Their People!

 

There is no tyranny more pathetic than the one that rules by fear. And yet across the so-called “free world,” fear has become the currency of modern governance. Watch your words. Lower your voice. Don’t ask that question. Don’t protest that decision. Smile. Obey. Submit. But this is not how free men live. “People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.” This rallying cry, made iconic by V for Vendetta, is more than cinematic bravado, it is a fundamental truth of liberty. It is a statement of hierarchy. In a just society, the government is the servant, and the people are the master. Today, that order has been reversed and with it, the spine of the citizenry has been broken. The Rise of the Managerial Tyrant We are no longer governed by statesmen. We are managed by bureaucrats. Faceless, soulless, unelected. They govern not with rifles or bayonets, but with policies, algorithms, and fear. They wrap their control in the language of safety, tolerance, and progress, but make no mistake: it is still control. They tax your labour to feed themselves. They monitor your speech to protect their power. They flood your streets with crime, then disarm you for your “safety.” They lock you in your home and close your business, all in the name of public health. They censor, cancel, and deplatform because they fear ideas more than bullets. This is not freedom. This is feudalism in a digital mask. Fear: The Mark of a Slave When the people fear the government, tyranny has already taken root. A man afraid to speak is not free. A man afraid to protest is not free. A man afraid to think is not free. Fear is the mark of the slave. But here’s the ugly truth: most people have made peace with their chains. They prefer the warm prison of comfort over the cold air of liberty. They choose sedation over resistance. Netflix over honour. Compliance over courage. Stand Against the Lie, do will not bow. We do not fear our governments, because we are the ones who give them power. They rule only by our permission, and that permission can be revoked. Real men, free men, make governments fear them. Through numbers. Through unity. Through strength. Through defiance. Through their absolute refusal to be ruled by cowards, liars, and thieves. The French revolutionaries marched with pikes. The American colonists with muskets. The Polish Solidarity movement with courage. What have we got? Memes and petitions? That ends here. Make Them Fear Us Again The proper relationship between government and citizen is one of constant tension. Not trust. Not submission. Tension. Governments must be kept on a leash and occasionally reminded who’s holding it. We do this through strength. Intellectual. Physical. Moral. We do this by raising boys into warriors, not weaklings. We do this by building families, communities, tribes of the free. We do this by refusing to be polite when our freedom is trampled. Our forefathers spilled blood so we could speak. So we could protest. So we could live like kings under law. What will you do to honour that sacrifice? Governments should not rule us. They should fear us. Not because we are violent, but because we are ungovernable. We are not subjects. We are sovereigns. Let them tremble.
