The Fellowship of the Cross

We all have a vague notion of where we seem to be headed, but its different when its detailed out in black and white.

Of what use will guns be when the Regime can, say, cut us off from access to credit? Covid has accustomed us to buying and selling electronically as our ordinary means of exchange. I don’t know about you, but almost all of the transactions I do now are by card; some stores will only accept cards, as a health measure, or because they don’t have enough coins to make change. What happens when that becomes mandatory, and all our purchases can be tracked? When the Regime can cut us off from access to our money by the flip of a switch, because it could tell from our smartphone’s GPS data that we went to a dissenting church on Sunday, or bought a book that had been forbidden?

–thus Rod Dreher today

What is needed now, he thinks, is honesty and fellowship.

Only in small communities could people feel free.
