‘Mandatory’ is an interesting word which has evolved from its intended use of “required by law or rules, compulsory.” It is misused and abused today to force people into compliance.
Under
communist rule compliance was ‘mandatory.’ Most things in our lives were mandatory
whether inscribed in law, mentioned as unwritten rules, and rules made up on
the fly. Regardless of where the word ‘mandatory’ came from, you had to obey
and follow the orders or else.
‘Mandatory’ was
so abused and draconian that, just on the sight of an authority figure,
teacher, administrator, boss, policeman, security police, military police, economic
police, and border guards, people froze in their tracks and wondered what would
happen to them if those people decided to address them or check their I.D.s.
You searched
quickly in your mind for reasons that you may have violated the ‘mandatory’
whatever and where you will end up if they decided to arrest you. You did not
have to commit a crime, they made one up. Mental prayers did not help because
everybody cooperated with the police state for extra food and money, including most
priests.
People were
guilty until proven innocent in a communist court of law. It was ‘mandatory’
that the accused provided proof of innocence.
It was ‘mandatory’
to attend all communist rallies and marches. It was ‘mandatory’ to show up at
the precinct and to vote for the one-party candidate.
After I fled
to the U.S., the word ‘mandatory’ started to creep into our daily school environment.
‘Mandatory’ seemed innocuous at first, just another word, until I asked too
many questions.
Then I
learned that everything ‘mandatory’ was not remunerated. It magically became
part of the job if I wanted to keep it.
It was ‘mandatory’
to tutor students every week after school for no extra pay. It was ‘mandatory’
to work weekends for several hours to meet and greet parents, no extra pay.
It was ‘mandatory’
to ignore our own families on weekends and one week at night for two hours to
tutor students who did not pay attention in class or who were too lazy to come
during daily office hours. It was all ‘mandatory’ if you wanted to keep your
job.
It was ‘mandatory’
to attend assemblies and speeches that violated our religious rights and the
rights of the students. It was ‘mandatory’ not to wear crosses because it
offended the Muslims. It was ‘mandatory’ not to display a small American flag
on one’s desk because it offended others who were not Americans.
It was ‘mandatory’
not long ago to wear masks everywhere, even outdoors to protect the health of
others around you, never mind that your health was not really protected.
It was ‘mandatory’
to get a dangerous vaccine if you wanted to keep your job, go to school,
travel, have a medical procedure in a hospital, attend church, shop for food,
fly, and go on vacation.
It is ‘mandatory’
not to criticize those in power while perusing social platforms and the
Internet. There are many consequences if these ‘mandatory’ unwritten and
arbitrary rules and “community standards” are violated.
Someone sitting
in a basement making $16 an hour deems your actions, thoughts, opinions, and words
hateful and offensive to the community’s health, a community suffering of many
mental issues, drug use, immorality, and perversions. But you are the threat
because you violated the nebulous ‘mandatory’ rules of community behavior.
It was ‘mandatory’
under communism to wear uniforms with numbers sewn onto the lapel in case you
broke some ‘mandatory’ behavioral rules that the police state informers felt
were violated.
Pretty much
everything we do in a modern society has become ‘mandatory.’ You cannot attend
college if you are not vaccinated – it is ‘mandatory.’ If you don’t comply,
your life will never be the same, you become an outcast of society. The
Democrat police state, their lapdog media, and on-line fact checkers control
your every action, word, and thought.
The Democrat
Party used to follow democratic principles, but it is now a communist police
state obsessed with daily mandates, ‘mandatory’ this, ‘mandatory’ that.
The media is
their platform of mandating. Fact checkers did not exist until the ruling
Democrat police state started distorting and manufacturing the truth and
pushing the one world government Marxist agenda.
Fact checkers
are employed by the globalists who are running our world today. They are not
elected to office but don’t need to be, politicians do their bidding because
billionaires have a lot of money and influence. Drunk on narcissism because
they have so much money and wealth, they truly believe that they know what is best
for the rest of the world in every aspect of our lives. Everything they social
engineer with their NGOs becomes ‘mandatory’ with help from beholden politicians.
