I won’t have a lot more to say about that, today.

It interests me deeply though.

We know that all governments, societies, whole cultures lie routinely to protect and propagate themselves, and especially the people who benefit most from the way Things Are. They lie to you in kindergarten, and they lie to you as they slide you down for your dirt nap, and at every point in between. I think more people are waking up to that, and I hope so. I feel like I certainly am.

But the substance of the lies, the rationale behind them, is a useful thing to know, for the lied-to.

Why did the Reich want to reinforce the idea, among its prisoners and citizens alike, that Work equals Freedom? Why do other reichs and theologies do the same right up to this day, and what are the varying definitions of work among them?

Do the variations matter, and how?

Just questions. No answers. No doctrine, today.
