Conservatives

Mentions

Chapter 50 50. The conservatives are fools: They whine about the decay of traditional values, yet they enthusiastically support technological progress and economic growth. Apparently it never occurs to them that you can’t make rapid, drastic changes in the technology and the economy of a society without causing rapid changes in all other aspects of the society as well, and that such rapid changes inevitably break down traditional values.

Chapter 118 118. Conservatives and some others advocate more “local autonomy.” Local communities once did have autonomy, but such autonomy becomes less and less possible as local communities become more enmeshed with and dependent on large-scale systems like public utilities, computer networks, highway systems, the mass communications media and the modern health-care system. Also operating against autonomy is the fact that technology applied in one location often affects people at other locations far away. Thus pesticide or chemical use near a creek may contaminate the water supply hundreds of miles downstream, and the greenhouse effect affects the whole world.

[13] Conservatives’ efforts to decrease the amount of government regulation are of little benefit to the average man. For one thing, only a fraction of the regulations can be eliminated because most regulations are necessary. For another thing, most of the deregulation affects business rather than the average individual, so that its main effect is to take power from the government and give it to private corporations. What this means for the average man is that government interference in his life is replaced by interference from big corporations, which may be permitted, for example, to dump more chemicals that get into his water supply and give him cancer. The conservatives are just taking the average man for a sucker, exploiting his resentment of Big Government to promote the power of Big Business.

[30] A further advantage of nature as a counter-ideal to technology is that, in many people, nature inspires the kind of reverence that is associated with religion, so that nature could perhaps be idealized on a religious basis. It is true that in many societies religion has served as a support and justification for the established order, but it is also true that religion has often provided a basis for rebellion. Thus it may be useful to introduce a religious element into the rebellion against technology, the more so because Western society today has no strong religious foundation. Religion nowadays either is used as cheap and transparent support for narrow, short-sighted selfishness (some conservatives use it this way), or even is cynically exploited to make easy money (by many evangelists), or has degenerated into crude irrationalism (fundamentalist protestant sects, “cults”), or is simply stagnant (Catholicism, mainline Protestantism). The nearest thing to a strong, widespread, dynamic religion that the West has seen in recent times has been the quasi-religion of leftism, but leftism today is fragmented and has no clear, unified, inspiring goal. Thus there is a religious vacuum in our society that could perhaps be filled by a religion focused on nature in opposition to technology. But it would be a mistake to try to concoct artificially a religion to fill this role. Such an invented religion would probably be a failure. Take the “Gaia” religion for example. Do its adherents REALLY believe in it or are they just play-acting? If they are just play-acting their religion will be a flop in the end. It is probably best not to try to introduce religion into the conflict of nature vs. technology unless you REALLY believe in that religion yourself and find that it arouses a deep, strong, genuine response in many other people.

Scripture

Conservatives are fools Ted Kaczynki said and conservatives are not fools in the sense that many of the conservatives values are found in the bible and i agree with them of course since I agree with the bible and Moses law leads to a long life and conservative values coincide with Moses law a lot. So I am not against conservative values in that sense.

Deuteronomy 5:33 KJV
Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.

But i agree with Ted Kaczynki that conservatives are fools in the sense that during the end times, the mark of the beast system, they are not going to be able to win against it by voting it out neither by fighting with the sword. That is both true when it comes to weapons of war like, physical weapons like guns and also like the sword which Alex Jones tries to use, the sword of his mouth, you know that you expose the criminals and so on, infowars.

Revelation 13:7-10 KJV
And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. [8] And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. [9] If any man have an ear, let him hear. [10] He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

They are not going to be able to win against the Beast, the false prophet and the Dragon using neither voting, you know save america, or the sword of the mouth or the sword of like guns, because God is behind this, it is God that has set up the dragon, the beast and the false prophet to rule for 3.5 years and it says specifically that those who live by the sword shall die by the sword and the patience of the saints, the saints might go into captivity. But they should have patience but they should not live by the sword during these last days.

Because as i said God is behind this evil and you are going to find yourself fighting against God if you are fighting against the mark of the beast system.

Amos 5:12-15 KJV
For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right. [13] Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time. [14] Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken. [15] Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.

It is an evil time and the prudent shall be silent in the evil time.

So the last days is an evil time and in this sense the conservatives are fools.

So Ted Kaczynski was correct here in a sense then even though i believe that the solution is not armed revolution or terrorist acts against technology and the technological system but rather to listen to what the bible has to say about these last days and pray and avoid and depart from evil and you might have to go into captivity. So dont fight with the sword when they, if you have to go into captivity.

What is coming has never happened in history before and will never happen in history after.

Matthew 24:21 KJV
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

So those who use history to try to predict these coming times are fools because what is coming is the end times of the bible.
