Look Askance at Those in Power
Series on Resisting Tyranny – Part I

Nobel laureate in economics Friedrich Hayek once said:
“A person who is willing to give up freedom in exchange for security will eventually lose both freedom and security.”

To gain freedom, security, and dignity, we must rise up against any tyrannical regime that robs the people of these very things.
To resist evil governance, we must walk sixty-four steps. Let us begin—step by step—toward freedom, toward a world united as one family, toward the Kingdom of the Greatest Creator.

Step One: Look askance at those in power.

The ones who most deeply and mercilessly oppress the people—while remaining untouchable—are the power-holders at every level.
These officials eat the people’s food, yet turn around to crush them.
No matter which level of power they occupy, ninety-nine percent of them are not good people—they are lice, scorpions, bedbugs, leeches, and horseflies clinging to the heads of the people.

From this day forward, let us cast sidelong glances at those in power.
Let us call all power-holders—from the lowest to the highest—bloodsucking parasites and cowardly scum.

What should we do?

Whenever you see someone wielding power, say silently in your heart:
“There goes a bloodsucker.”
“That one is a turtle bastard.”

Let us stand together and sweep every villain who oppresses the people into the pits of hell.
