How Governments Run “Pimp Game” on Their Populations
In this interview with William Ramsey, Etienne breaks down various aspects of how “governments” run “Pimp Game” on their populations.
To flesh out the analogy a bit more for context:
A “pimp” is an individual who runs unethically manipulative techniques on women to get them to turn over their money to them, ostensibly for “protection.”
This is essentially, in a nutshell, the same game that “governments” run on their populations to get them to semi-voluntarily turn over a significant portion of their income for “protection.”
Many of the women, and undoubtedly some men, become psychologically and financially dependent on the pimp… the same way that many women and men become psychologically and financially dependent on the “government”
Even when the women are abused or lied to by the pimp, many will stay loyal because of these techniques and the belief that they MUST have a Pimp/Man/Protector
Many Statists will, even after they have been repeatedly lied to and abused by the “government,” through lockdowns, mask mandates, involuntary servitude (drafts) and confiscatory taxation, to name a few abuses, will still self-identify as “Americans” (or Canadian, Australians, Englishmen, etc.) and stay loyal because of the techniques and belief that they MUST have a “Government”/Protector
The unethically manipulative techniques that pimps run on women are very similar to the unethically manipulative techniques that “governments” run on their populations.
Here are a few examples from the 48 Law of Pimping by “Pimping Ken,” a former Pimp and how they correspond to the government’s “pimp game”
Government Equivalent: Force the population into a mandatory (ripoff) retirement program to get the population financially dependent on you. Offer cash welfare to get a significant portion similarly financially dependent. Create huge numbers of bureaucrats, military and police who are financially dependent on the system by offering them salaries and benefits over and above what they could get in the open market.
Force kids into a mandatory “government” school where they are instructed that they “need” government while never offering them the alternative voluntaryist view that the world is a self organizing system that produces spontaneous order and everything the “government” does could be done by the free market, mutual aid societies, nonprofits, insurance companies, and genuine charities.
