[Modern propaganda asserts that sovereign words (pro-object rhetoric and legislation) do not change incentives’
This assertion underlies the static economic analysis that always fails to predict the cost of central government impositions.]
[Modern propaganda asserts that freedom has no context (responsibility).
This implication underlies the bondage of the welfare state.]
[Modernists habitually manipulate the meaning of words in order to mislead subjects. The objects that bring individuals into organization are presented through misleading oppositions, such as the slogan, “responsibility versus freedom”.
Such is the nature of modern propaganda.]

Schoonenberg wrote that we exercise freedom in serving either God or Satan.
[The previous round of blogs show that “freedom” is defined as the capacity to enter into responsibilities. Greater freedom means greater responsibility.
The modern opposition between “freedom” and “responsibility” conceals pre- and postmodern concepts of the co-opposition of freedom and responsibility.
The true oppositions are between freedom and bondage and between words and responsibilities.]
[The camps of America may be instituted on the basis of class action lawsuits, brought by the sovereign central government, toward particular individuals or classes of individuals.
Since no individual can afford the cost of litigation, the individual must plea bargain.
As part of the plea bargain, the individual is sent to a camp.
Thus, the court system, created to serve justice, may be bent to serve the sovereign’s social justice.]

[While America has not instituted camp, yet, attempts to destroy individuals through legal assault intimate the future.
Political enemies of the Progressives have been subject to intimidating and costly lawsuits. Progressive prosecutors do not seem to pay any cost for these show trials. They build a repertoire of legal assaults to launch at anyone who becomes identified as a ‘bad one’.]
[In the camp, the ones who are able to maintain the interscope are more likely to survive. They accept the perspective level, including the insane capricious rules, for what they are. Life is reduced to practical considerations: How do I survive?
The ones who process the camp as an intersection do not survive. The ones who do not survive realize that the something that I may choose1V no longer corresponds to the potentials inherent in me1H.
They realize that they have hearts. Broken hearts. Then they die.]
[In the postreligionist (enlightenment) Progressive Godhead, (the representatives of) the good ones (who, by definition, are victims of the bad ones) identify and destroy the bad ones.
The bad ones become homo sacer, they are subjects under the laws but the laws that applies to the good ones does not apply to them.]

[The rules of the camp depend on the capricious will of the sovereign director-dictator.]

[What does Giorgio Agamben mean by the term “homo sacer” (Latin for “sacred man”).
In the camp, the sovereign holds the individual under the law as one to whom the law does not apply.
Why does the sovereign hold but the law not apply?
The subject is deemed a thinkanti-object, who has conscienceanti-object. So “his” very thoughts are crimes.]
