Here is an old article that was way ahead of its time—and explained what is going on these days:

Thank you. I read most of it, but while naming “anarcho-tyranny”, I don’t see the author attempt to explain its cause.
I believe that any job affords the possibility that the person, whose task it is, will figure out how to gain control of what that task is. Some people are driven to work. Most want to find how to escape it. This means that more people would rather figure out how to reduce the work they are required to do, than actually accomplish it.
In government, this means arresting people who don’t wear seatbelts, rather than dangerous criminals.
Worse, we have given government whole new things to do outside of governance. Most of it involves handling large sums of money. It is perfectly predictable that the people in government would abandon governance and prefer to play with all that loot.
In the early 1980’s for about 3 years I read Chronicles until I finally figured out what they actually were.
They are heavy on history, but still believe that Monarchy is a acceptable form of government. It is NOT. Totalitarianism in all forms is EVIL!
It has been over 30 years since I saw one of the magazines.
Thomas Fleming (there is another writer of same name but certainly not same views) was the Editor of Chronicles for a long time. He attended Church in Falls Church, VA. A well known traitor attended that same church too. I’ve seen nothing connecting them.
WIKI “Thomas Fleming is a traditionalist Catholic writer, former president of the Rockford Institute” (he is deceased)
“”Probably no other society has failed as dismally as the United States in the late 20th century to meet the basic test of any civilization: to enforce simple order and protect the lives and property of its members.””
Very good - thanks for the link. I wonder what the writer thinks of what’s happening TO our country in the 21st century...
The seat belt and NC governor story made me think of when seat belts became law...was that the first law that affected how we went about our daily lives? I’m not talking about obeying traffic signals, speed limits etc. We got the seat belt laws and then the HELMET laws on riders of motorcycles and it hasn’t stopped since.
