The Wall Street Journal recently reported on a growing movement called “Dontells,” adults whom progressives dismiss as suffering from one of those dubious childhood mental ailments, ODD: Oppositional Defiant Disorder, the irrational resistance to authority. Our managerial elite applies this children’s neurosis to adults who resist the ruling technocracy’s “soft” tyranny.
This instinct of free peoples to resist being told what to do by distant, unaccountable authorities is one reason why government relies on sketchy science and research to coerce or frighten people into accepting such intrusions into their private and social lives. The interference in private life and civil society, which has increased over the last 100 years and geometrically expanded during the Covid pandemic, has empowered an ever-growing federal bureaucracy that insidiously whittles away at our autonomy in order to aggrandize more and more power.
But this program to limit our freedoms requires that the quintessential American character, which prizes freedom, self-reliance, and civil society, be undermined and replaced by docile and malleable subjects ruled by the technocratic Leviathan.
“Climate change,” of course, or more honestly, “anthropogenic catastrophic global warming,” is the most prominent and voracious of these “crises” that our federal overseers and their minions are using to control our lives through bad science and frightening scenarios. The flashing red- light warning that these “green” policies and the suicidal war on fossil fuels are a threat to our economy and whole way of life, is this simple fact: Even if every policy hawked by the Paris climate agreement were globally institutionalized tomorrow, we still wouldn’t lower the rise in temperatures enough to stave off the predicted apocalypse.
Yet no crisis, real or imagined, is too dubious or minor for whetting some government agency’s appetite. Around the same time as the Journal’s column, we got an example of this crisis and regulation dynamic. The federal Consumer Product Safety Commission has proposed a ban on gas stoves, based on questionable “research” that linked these appliances to childhood asthma, fires, indoor air pollution, and of course, global warming. New York, vying with California for the looniest public policy crown, wants to ban all gas appliances, including those used for heating.
But this time, the CPSC’s overreach has provoked some pushback from the natural gas industry and citizens with common sense. The American Gas Association has exposed the questionable “research” used to frighten people into going for this feckless policy. For example, the claim that gas stoves have a higher risk of causing fires is bunk. According to the National Fire Protection Agency, “The civilian fire injury rate per million households was 4.8 times higher with electric ranges than in households using gas ranges.”
If you’re worried about anthropogenic global warming, switching to electric ranges won’t help reduce emissions, since most rely on electricity plants powered by fossil fuels. And how are you going to cook when the electric grid crashes from charging all those new EVs?
As for asthma, the Wall Street Journal reports, “The International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood, the most comprehensive global study to date, found ‘no evidence of an association between the use of gas as a cooking fuel and either asthma symptoms or asthma diagnosis.’” This latest unwarranted nanny-state intrusion into our lives and businesses, the Journal also reminds us, is business as usual for CPSC, “which has a long history of targeting products such as window blinds, IKEA dressers, and Peloton treadmills because of accidents that are the fault of customers.”
That’s how, as Tocqueville predicted, the budding tyrant manages “to keep [the people] in perpetual childhood,” and make Leviathan the “sole agent and arbiter of their happiness,” thus leaching away their capacity for self-government.
So far, this pushback has worked. Alexander Hoehn-Saric, Chairman of the CPSC dismissed the criticism as an overreaction to “research,” and assured us taxpayers, “I am not looking to ban gas stoves and the CPSC has no proceeding to do so.” That’s bureaucratese for “Not yet.”
Like rust, however, our regulatory bosses never sleep, and always are ready to intrude themselves into the affairs of individuals, sovereign states, professions, and businesses. Just recently two more regulatory schemes have been hatched.
The Federal Trade Commission is floating a nationwide ban on non-compete agreements, which currently are regulated by the states. “If finalized,” the Wall Street Journal reports, “it would outlaw terms in 30 million contracts and pre-empt laws in virtually every state. It would also, by the FTC’s own account, reduce capital investment, worker training and possibly job growth, while increasing the wage gap.”
Another proposed regulation is being mooted for the medical profession. No doubt inspired by the alleged misuse of drugs for treating Covid, this new rule is a poison-pill smuggled in the recent $1.7 trillion omnibus bill. This change will curtail the freedom of physicians to prescribe prescription drugs for off-label use, which comprises 20% of prescriptions. According to the Journal, “This unwarranted intrusion into the physician-patient relationship threatens to undermine medical innovation and patient care,” as well as inhibiting the discovery of new therapies. Viagra, for example, was originally produced to treat hypertension and angina, and now is prescribed for erectile dysfunction treatment nearly two million times a year.
Such incessant regulatory tweaks help explain why we have over 220 volumes of federal regulations.
These serial interferences in our lives attempt to frighten and coerce citizens into surrendering more of their self-reliance and personal agency. To strengthen the tyranny’s hold, these intrusions, and the medicalizing of pushback as “Oppositional Defiant Disorder,” serve to marginalize, if not demonize, the quintessential traits and virtues of American character: protective of personal freedom and autonomy, dislike of self-proclaimed moral betters, and rebellion against the petty tyrants who think they’re better fit to push everybody else around. You know, bossy progressives and snotty Eurocrats, both of whose anti-Americanism is predicated in part on hatred of these traditional American traits.
Our “soft despots” understand that their ambition to centralize power and expand it at the expense of the citizens’ freedom has a huge block of resistance in the American national character. From our Colonial beginning, this inclination has been obvious. It appears on every page of history and literature, and in highbrow and lowbrow culture alike. A whole genre of popular literature and movies, the western, has celebrated (or demonized) this icon of American character.
Indeed, anti-Americanism is basically an assault on these defining traits of Americans. As early as the 19th century, as James Cesar has documented, European intellectuals and other elites looked down on Americans for prizing political freedom, equality, and self-government regardless of education, wealth, or class––the foundational ideas of our Constitutional republic. Early 19th century German poet Heinrich Heine, for example, called the U.S. “the pig-pen of freedom/Inhabited by boors living in equality,” a “gigantic prison of freedom” in which the “most extensive of all tyrannies, that of the masses, exercise its crude authority.”
Other dimensions of American character, such as the work-ethic and ambition to better one’s self, or its preeminence in industrial production and technology, likewise were attacked, and still today are targets of sneering elite criticism. Friedrich Nietzsche accused America of reducing life to materialism, domination and wealth: “The breathless haste with which [Americans] work . . .is already infecting old Europe and is spreading a spiritual emptiness over the continent.” Later, erstwhile Nazi Martin Heidegger labeled America as the “site of a catastrophe,” the “monstrousness of modern times.”
We can easily hear in these charges the clichéd smears that our own progressive cognitive elites regularly indulge about ordinary Americans who refuse to submit to the technocratic arrogance of the “managerial elite”––the “bitter clingers to guns and religion,” the “basket of deplorables,” and the “smelly Wal-Mart shoppers” who eagerly became Donald Trump’s dupes. They are soulless, selfish, greedy, money-grubbing and intolerant lowbrow philistines, and as such are not worthy of self-rule, or unalienable rights like the First and Second Amendments, natural rights that progressive Charles Beard in 1912 dismissed as “obsolete and indefensible.”
Weakening our Constitutional structure of limited government, federalism, and unalienable rights, then, is necessary for those who want to limit political power to the technocratic elite. The American character and its individualism, localism, patriotism, and self-reliance thus must be transformed from citizens into subjects, and from adults into children who need government guardians to run their lives. And that dependence is what F.A. Hayek called “the road to serfdom.”
Fortunately, enough of the American character, upon which our Constitutional order is predicated, remains to empower us to fight back. The bungling, disastrous, politicized Covid mitigation polices sparked widespread resistance by “Dontells” who reject the self-proclaimed “experts” and busybody “Karens.” And perhaps a governor like Florida’s Ron DeSantis, who has become national figure because of his vigorous pushback against the “woke” elite’s power-grabs, can grow a political movement to restore our American traditions of self-government by free citizens.
Meanwhile, we all need to push back more against the regulatory regime assaulting our economy and our autonomy. In short, more and more of us need to keep shouting, “Don’t tell us what to do!”
At one time in Europe we had Guilds of Master Craftsmen who regulated themselves and then along came socialist governments and they now regulate everything.
They regulate things simply because they are not regulated and in their government eyes therefore need regulations.
Who regulates the regulators?
The Guild System was NOT a voluntary system based on economic freedom, individual rights, and private property rights. The Guild System was a totalitarian manifestation of a protected class, a union racket protected by Omnipotent Government. The Guild System was in essence Guild Socialism.
“Guild socialism is a system that abolishes the exercise of individual ability by chaining men into groups according to their line of work, and delivering the work into the group’s power, as its exclusive domain, with the group dictating the rules, standards, and practices of how the work is to be done and who shall or shall not do it….
The particular form of economic organization, which is becoming more and more apparent in this country, as an outgrowth of the power of pressure groups, is one of the worst variants of statism: guild socialism. Guild socialism robs the talented young of their future—by freezing men into professional castes under rigid rules. It represents an open embodiment of the basic motive of most statists, though they usually prefer not to confess it: the entrenchment and protection of mediocrity from abler competitors, the shackling of the men of superior ability down to the mean average of their professions….
Guild socialism is the concrete-bound, routine-bound mentality of a savage, elevated into a social theory.” – Ayn Rand
“Guild Socialism” – The Ayn Rand Lexicon
http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/guild_socialism.html
The Guilds Rand was referring too in no way resembled what was in place in America. People were not forced into Trade Unions. They still today are not forced into Trade Unions. Actually, it is very competitive to get into a Craftsman Trade Union. The old days of whom you know is long gone. They are one of the few groups attempting to actively recruit those average, not going to college minorities, that don;t want to sit in front of a screen all day individuals.
Private Trade Unions exist as free to join and participate “Guilds.”
Public Employee Unions should be abolished.
2nd most destructive thing JFK ever did.
Americans are not forced to join a union in a unionized workplace if they want to keep the job? That’s news to Americans. Compulsory uninonism did not destroy Detroit? That’s news to Detroit.
“The artificially high wages forced on the economy by COMPULSORY unionism imposed economic hardships on other groups—particularly on non-union workers and on unskilled labor, which was being squeezed gradually out of the market. Today’s widespread unemployment is the result of organized labor’s privileges and of allied measures, such as minimum wage laws. For years, the unions supported these measures and sundry welfare legislation, apparently in the belief that the costs would be paid by taxes imposed on the rich. The growth of inflation has shown that the major victim of government spending and of taxation is the middle class. Organized labor is part of the middle class—and the actual value of labor’s forced “social gains” is now being wiped out.” – Ayn Rand

For God’s sake don’t ever apply for a teaching job. You would be the most boring, pedantic pile of excrement known to man. I can’t imagine a student making it through a single class let alone an entire semester of your gobbledegook.
Does every post of yours have to be like being told to stay after school and listen to a lecture on the ins and outs of the most boring woman who ever lived. I think the disease transferred to you….the second most boring person on planet earth
Oops……looks like joining a Union is not always mandatory. As always your reality is simply your own made up reality.
“In Janus v. AFSCME, a 5-4 court majority overturned precedent, saying that public sector unions, like those that represent law enforcement, state employees, and, of course, teachers, can no longer collect what are known as agency fees from nonmembers.”
www.npr.org/sections/ed/2018/06/27/617893848/is-this-supreme-court-decision-the-end-of-teachers-unions
Thank God Trump was President when the decision came down. Looks like his appointees began the beginning of the end of the public sector unions
Excellent article, thanks.
Great article! I do differ on the FTC trying to ban Non-Compete Agreements nationally. I support this ban, because I have been personally harmed by a former employer that enforced a Non-Compete, not because I would harm their interests, but as a punitive punishment for leaving a terrible culture. Imagine getting your “Dream Job”, but snuck in the new hire paperwork is a Non-Compete. If you don’t sign it, you never become an employee. No discussion. I’m all in favor of Non-Disclosures, which are fair, but Non-Compete Agreements are the actually Tyranny!
It’s funny that he mentioned Viagra.
I have some of that stuff. It doesn’t effect performance but orgasms seem to last forever. Long after I’m out of shooting juice “I’m still .orgasmic. Sometimes I just lie there and shudder while I’m shooting and shooting. I tell my girlfriend she did it because I want to make her feel good but I know it wasn’t her who made me cum so hard.
I’m not into drugs but I like that one.
LOL! Dude do you ever have anything but sex and dark-skinned sistahs on your mind. Welcome back.
At least he has sex on his mind.
Everybody who downvoted me is a faggot.
I’m going to meet a hot black chick at the park near my place tonight. She begged me to come back. What are you fags going to do?
Yeah, I thought so. Whack it, you little homos.
What a deviant you are …you sound like a sex offender in waiting
” The interference in private life and civil society, which has increased over the last 100 years and geometrically expanded during the Covid pandemic, has empowered an ever-growing federal bureaucracy that insidiously whittles away at our autonomy in order to aggrandize more and more power.”
With a power that is increasingly disconnected from the local. People no longer know who to contact directly, they are trapped in the maze of bureaucracy, they attack people who are local, but who are not directly responsible for bureaucratic decision-making, disconnected from the field . “We” no longer know who to address. In France, a regulation wanted to put an end to raw milk cheese. The small manufacturers had to go as far as Brussels to fight… The father of a Spanish friend, from Galicia, saw people tumbling into his property who started explaining to him how he should make his products based on pork, with the obligation to set up new, very costly installations. While this family has been making pork for about five centuries, with one of the best European products. His father chased them off the property with a shotgun. These new regulations came from the European Union. We have no idea the harm that all of this causes, in the name of good. And the cost of it all. Friends of a friend who had a small dairy production, had to close the shop, because they could not pay for the new facilities to meet European standards: 250,000 euros.
At the start of the covid crisis, the private sector began to put in place its protocols, the state arrived to tell them what to do and not to do. it breaks the spirit of initiative, private and individual responsibility. It also slows down the implementation of solutions. In the more or less long term, it can only infantilize the populations who will end up expecting everything from the state, from the government.
Centralising is always dumb, why? Because the vast majority of good ideas come from the vast majority of the people, not the elites in the centre.
Yes, but leftism needs centralization… To build its Tower of Babel. A dream place for all losers, who will have power and advantages there. A dream place for all the thugs, who will be used and paid by these losers. It is the absolute reign of mediocrity: mediocracy.
Cows emit methane which is allegedly causing climate change, god only knows why pigs don’t and they also ignore the FACT that vegetarians and vegans fart more than meat eaters.
Yeah, doing away with representative government increased the power of bureaucracy.
We are experiencing some of that “soft tyranny” at our local bank in-which has recently been bought by a large corporation. They refuse to mail us paper statements or allow us to know the balance of our business or personal account unless we down load their bank system into our personal P,C. We are not children to be bullied. I have also noticed that the growing number of so called minority female bank managers that are gleaning from making you comply. We are still trying to get a new bank account established but the minority manager wants us to claimb our LLC as an S corp so the IRS can collect the highest amount allowable. She is doing the IRS bidding that is how they are infiltrating the 87,000 IRS agents. And this is being done by a local small branch. Your banker is watching you and reporting YOU
I thought the budget funding for 87,000 new IRS agents was repealed a week or so ago?
“New GOP House Votes To Repeal Funding for Biden’s 87,000 New IRS Agents”
Hasn’t been voted on in the Senate, or signed by the Executive, Think that’s gonna happen? I sure don’t.
Great article!
Let’s see if the Left can get the DSM V to change its classification of ODD as a childhood mental disorder to include adults. More meds for everybody, yay!
I occasionally receive ‘census’ requests from the Dept of Agriculture and Dept of I can’t remember what dept to fill out documents about whether I grow crops or raise livestock, or what businesses I own and how many employees. Straight to the trash. I keep getting letters that remind me it is a matter of public law I have to fill them out. Apparently, I can be fined for this, although I don’t know that anyone has.
A few years ago, one government bureaucrat actually called. I asked them how much I was going to get paid to take the time to look up all the information and fill out the forms. Nothing, he said. I asked if he was being paid nothing. Of course not. I told him if they compensated me for my time, I might consider it, but that in the USA slavery is still against the wall.
Screw them. It isn’t much pushback in the greater scheme of things, but it is something.
A typical two-edged sword. Puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones are being used off label to mistreat thousands of gender confused children. Billions of dollars in that.
“This instinct of free peoples to resist being told what to do by distant, unaccountable authorities is one reason why government relies on sketchy science and research to coerce or frighten people into accepting such intrusions into their private and social lives.”
Sounds like a secular version of a theocracy of priestly theologians reading the tea leaves of prophecy and Holy Scripture for the sheep to obey and follow.
“All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit.” – Thomas Paine
“That’s how, as Tocqueville predicted, the budding tyrant manages “to keep [the people] in perpetual childhood,” and make Leviathan the “sole agent and arbiter of their happiness,” thus leaching away their capacity for self-government.”
The perpetual childhood and childish minds of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden perpetually under the tyranny of the Almighty Lord.
“And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” – Matthew 18:3
Quite wrong, as usual. Adam and Eve in the garden were in a state of innocence. They had a freedom then that they rejected when it came to entering into responsibility. The one command that introduced the question of moving from innocence to responsibility before their Creator, was the prohibition to partake of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. At the same time God warned of the consequences of disobedience. Adam and Eve did not act out of ignorance. They had the words of God and the warning of the consequences of disobedience. Satan, the angelic rebel, introduced an attack on what God had said; “You shall not surely die”. Then he lied about God; “God knows … you shall be as gods, knowing good and evil”. See Genesis 3. Apon disobedience Adam and Eve immediately tried to hide from God. All this has major implications for the present. The real tyrants of the world have been sinful men. Matthew 18:3 refers to an open and unbiased mind as children initially have toward God.
This whole campaign against Gas Stoves is based upon Junk Science and Politics just like t his whole Global Warming/Climate Change its all about Control by the UN Globalists
“The green energy group behind a study cited in Consumer Product Safety commissioner Richard Trumka Jr.’s call to ban gas stoves has partnered with the Chinese government to implement an “economy-wide transformation” away from oil and gas….” “So this green think tank, which is comprised of non-scientists, takes money from China, has a Red Chinese oligarch as board member, and participates in ongoing projects with China’s central planners, all under the rubric of “going green.”
Anyone smell anything stinky here?”
“Ever wondered who was behind that greenie push to ban gas stoves?” – Monica Showalter

“The American character and its individualism, localism, patriotism, and self-reliance thus must be transformed from citizens into subjects, and from adults into children who need government guardians to run their lives.”
It all begins with an attack on reason. America and the American character of self-reliance, independence, self-confidence, and “don’t tell me what to do”, is founded on a confidence and trust in reason, logic, and reason’s power to discover immutable reality. Your “self” is your reasoning mind.
If reason and reality are not absolutely trustworthy, if reason is not absolutely trustworthy to discover the facts of an immutable reality, then your mind cannot be trusted to be rational and reality cannot be trusted to be immutable, hence you cannot be trusted to think and act on your own. Hence, you need to be put on a leash and controlled by an elite authority. A priesthood divining miraculous, unpredictable, reality for you.

“Man’s mind is his basic means of survival—and of self-protection. Reason is the most selfish human faculty: it has to be used in and by a man’s own mind, and its product—truth—makes him inflexible, intransigent, impervious to the power of any pack or any ruler. Deprived of the ability to reason, man becomes a docile, pliant, impotent chunk of clay, to be shaped into any subhuman form and used for any purpose by anyone who wants to bother.
There has never been a philosophy, a theory or a doctrine that attacked (or “limited”) reason, which did not also preach submission to the power of some authority. Philosophically, most men do not understand the issue to this day; but psycho-epistemologically, they have sensed it since prehistoric times. Observe the nature of mankind’s earliest legends—such as the fall of Lucifer, “the light-bearer,” for the sin of defying authority; or the story of Prometheus, who taught men the practical arts of survival. Power-seekers have always known that if men are to be made submissive, the obstacle is not their feelings, their wishes or their “instincts,” but their minds; if men are to be ruled, then the enemy is reason.” – Ayn Rand
Have you ever noticed that very few people actually react to your screeds, whether they are your own or not?
Yeah, Orwell said a writer should try to be concise. The more one writes, the less likely it will get read. Then some writers have the genius of being able to write longer pieces, where every little piece is interesting enough so the whole piece gets read.
The best is when he writes so much it is almost like he is responding to himself, and in his mind his quotes prove to himself that he is right.
And when he responds to himself it is basically one insane person talking to another. Like voices in his head.
THX is basically insane.
Fuck em, they are the scum of the earth, they’ll fuck a donkey in the ass
Your reason? Your reality?
Whatever. When are you cowards going to deal with the election fraud – something that effectively means that voting is completely meaningless and that we have no actual rights whatsoever?
You could always “deal with the election fraud”.
In my humble opinion, the allegiance of law-abiding, liberty-loving, God-fearing citizens “to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands” is ABSOLUTE. However, our allegiance to the federal government must always be CONTINGENT upon its branches, departments and agencies remaining within the strict constraints imposed upon them by the original, ratified Constitution and its lawful Amendments.
Also, I believe there’s no limit to what can be accomplished when the eternal struggle to defend America’s founding principles of individual liberty, equal justice and limited, consensual government is waged from the moral high ground of non-violent civil disobedience. It is this universal truth, not armed resistance, which keeps actual and wannabe dictators awake at night from Beijing to Tehran to Moscow, and from Brussels to Davos to Washington, D.C. (ref. www.newguardsforliberty.com).
The question most can’t answer easily nor in truth at all is simply:
By what authority?
First usual response is:
What?
By what authority?
Wait for seconds and let them flip out or explain a lie away.
Say please cite the law, statute, policy, procedure or guideline.
You’ll hear well,, eeelllll I got to go, a threat, more abuse, etc.
When they actually cite that, I like to say, I understand the position, please show your documentation.
well ellll, NO! or I don’t have time, etc.
Well you’re a public servant, correct?
Did you swear an oath?
Where in your employee handbook shows you are to do this?
Isn’t there better practices regarding this you can be practicing?
What are the actual best practices you are supposed to follow?
Do you know the law?
Keep ask and they keep losing it, but they create a gang mentality and paint a target on your back for asking these questions.
A good example of off label drug use is the off patent medication used for age related macular degeneration. That one costs about $50 per injection. The available on label patent drug costs about $4,000 per injection.
TY, Dr. Thornton. Your excellent analysis is refreshing and encouraging. There is nothing soft about the tyranny the left wields against other Americans. It must be opposed.
The leftist in power who are attempting to control the behavior thoughts and words of other people ,do indeed, have much gall, That is tyrannical politically correct gall.
The very title of this Front Page Magazine article is a reminder of the song in which some of the lyrics of it are “Don’t tell me what do do, don’t tell me what to say…”
Just to think about it the second line in that song. To try to put words into someone else’s month as if it came from the persons own mind and heart is an affront.
This heading of this ,above, article which is “Don’t tell me what to do ” Might relate to those mask mandates in which the government tried to control the actions of people by attempting them to engage in unnatural
by having them wear those useless placebo masks.
On the lighter side, there is a Dr. Seuss type poem out on that subject. So here it is.
“I will not wear that stupid mask , I will not wear it here or there , I will not wear it anywhere . I will not wear it in a plane, I will not wear it in a train. I will not wear it on my ear , I will not wear it out of fear., I will not wear wear that stupid mask so don’t even bother to ask.”
Our wannabe political masters in D.C. believe “WE SAY SO!” is all the authority they need to control our lives. As you are aware, this is arrant BS. The federal government’s just powers derive from the original, ratified Constitution and its lawful Amendments. Its authority derives from the willing consent of “we the people” expressed through fair and honest elections. For the past half-century, the government has repeatedly violated the strict constraints imposed upon it by that Constitution. In addition, its agents have enabled freedom-hating globalists to rig elections without accountability for their crimes.
Through their subversive actions, these co-conspirators have fundamentally transformed the Constitution from a security pact among the sovereign states and their citizens into an instrument of surrender to an omnipotent, coercive government. This is why I believe resistance to federal tyranny is loyalty to the Constitution. It is also the basis of my belief that although the loyalty of law-abiding “to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands” is ABSOLUTE, our loyalty to the federal government must always be CONTINGENT upon its branches, departments and agencies remaining within the strict constraints imposed upon them by the original, ratified Constitution (ref. www.newguardsforliberty.com).
Trumpka needs to get the boot
