More Indices Of The Psychological K-shift – Big Government Is The Threat

As businessman Donald Trump prepares to become the nation’s 45th president, Americans continue to express more concern about the threat big government poses to the U.S. than big business or big labor. Two in three Americans (67%) identify big government as the country’s biggest threat…

Meanwhile, the 26% of Americans who name big business as the biggest threat remains down from 32% in 2009 amid the economic recession, but it is near the average since 1965. Just 5% say big labor is the biggest threat. This is about half the level recorded a decade ago and far lower than in the 1960s and 1970s, when it typically ranked second among the three threats.

Americans have consistently been more concerned about big government than big business and big labor since Gallup first asked this question in 1965.

The desire for freedom is the desire to compete. The desire for big government is the desire for a parental-like entity to prevent competition. It is the difference between a child-like psychology unable to cope with a harsh world, and an adult psychology ready to compete freely without supervision in a harsh world.

As K-approaches, people will grow irritable. They will find obstacles to simply following the instinct to survive unbearable. That means government interfering in their life will be incredibly irritating. If they ever find out the full scope, watch out.

At the very moment the government will run out of money, and require real sacrifice from the people to maintain operations, the people will be remolded psychologically to find it repellent. A not unlikely outcome will be a dissolution through neglect, ala the Soviet collapse, followed by a reestablishment of a union like the early US through limited treaties between the various states.

Don’t fear the collapse. It will produce a more perfect union.

Tell everyone about r/K Theory, because it will make the Apocalypse bearable
