Worsening Crime Over Time: How Should A Dissident Perceive It?
We had the first reader question come in from this prior article: ‘Send Me Your Questions, Topics Of Interest, And Memes‘. The question concerns worsening crime here in the States.
Our reader’s question effectively boils down to:
- “What are your thoughts on the increase in crime that is happening in the late stage American Empire? Is it good or bad for dissidents?”
First, I would agree with the premise of the question (that crime and criminality in general are increasing exponentially as the decline continues). But I don’t know if every person on our side would agree with that same foundational assumption. There have been other times in the past where crime has been up as well, but those times were not related to the fall of the empire. Sometimes crime ebbs and flows.
But I think what our reader was getting at was that crimes are practically encouraged under our current corrupt system, so they are increasing consistently by a margin not seen before. Such as what we see in the inner cities with looting gangs hitting stores, blacks attacking whites with no repercussions, and radical legal assaults against vigilantism.
From an institutional standpoint, crime is being encouraged. And those that fight against it are being targeted worse than the criminals themselves. I don’t know any dissident that would disagree with that premise. That reality is thrown in our faces constantly.
So, we all would agree that institutionally permitted crime is certainly allowed and worsening year-by-year. So we can start there with this question, now having a universal premise.
On the one hand, worsening crime is good for dissidents, because it results in a loss of trust in the system among the average person.
The system cannot even fulfill its most basic role, which is to protect people. This is good for us on a macro scale. Fewer people trust in the system because it cannot even perform its essential duties.
However, in my opinion, I think increasing crime is a net negative for the cause overall. If it weren’t, the elites probably wouldn’t be allowing it.
The reason I think this is that the legal warfare being used against vigilantes and just every day good folk will hurt us far more than the benefit we gain from a few normies losing trust in the system.
We look at innocent parties like those from January 6 and the Georgia family who tried to defend their community who are being prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law. Same goes for the older gentlemen defending himself in borderland in Arizona.
We are losing good people to this criminality and our inability to fight back against it. Meanwhile, literal illegal immigrant rapists and violent looters walk free or get a slap on the wrist.
This discourages other good-hearted people from defending their community or even getting involved. Simply because the risk is not worth it. So we have a dual-edged problem: We have fewer strong men fighting back due to the repercussions in dealing with the increasing crime, and we have more innocents hurt by it. Both of these only further push us into a corner, a position that we do not want to be in.
Put simply: When criminals have the majority of the power over the good guys, that is not good for us.
While crime increasing does increase the distrust in the system, I think the harm it produces far outweighs that benefit it provides. Chaos is not always in our interest. Especially not when we do not yet have the levers of power needed to navigate through that chaos effectively.
The only other good thing to come about this is that when crime increases on the level and the scale that we are seeing today, we know that the system is untenable and will not last much longer. So, being an indicator of the things to come, worsening crime does produce some hope in the wise dissident that can recognize that this system will not last much longer. We’re at the end stage.
In that, we can be thankful. But having more looters, degenerates, and criminals? No, I don’t consider that a positive.
Even if I want the system gone, I don’t want my people hurt in the process. But that’s just my two cents.
