OK, but has nobody learnt what a failure "democracy" has become?
An absolute failure! It is a word that has been bastardized, weaponized and rendered useless for having a real conversation about civilization, and how to manage humanity. It's strange to think of the "51% Attack" applying to democracy; if 51% of the people agree to experiment on our children, why should the 49% have to accept that in the name of "majority rules." I believe real democracy is when "populations" or "groups" have representation, or the power to determine their destiny.
You know what was so paradoxical about Qaddafi... he was a dictator who ruled by understanding the importance of democracy because Libya is a country of hundreds, if not thousands, of tribes, with tribal leaders that needed to be respected in order for Qaddafi to remain in power; and he made it work!
Plato wrote about the inevitability of corruption and how democracy turns into oligarchy. Guess nobody bothers reading him. What I also find funny is how the Athenians voted themselves a military dictatorship coz the politicians were so useless and losing whatever war at the time. They never teach that!
When the sewers overflow, one cannot just fix parts of it.
The 51% attack - or majority attack - is what has happened to all govscum agencies. hence the accelerated destruction of civil life. The capture of all agencies has been on the agenda for 100 years, but is a slow process of adding your own psycho-turds to the cesspool, and you don't need to reach 100% capture - a simple majority will suffice to turn your agency into a tool of tyranny. I cannot think of a single agency left that is humane.
What I find equally disgusting is how few of the smart monkeys have figured this out.
This is why it is so imperceptible until it's too late; and when it's too late, it goes from Totalitarian Tip Toe to Totalitarian Sprint.
I don't think it was imperceptible.
drugs that make you sicker.
food filled with chemicals that make you sick.
let's pray to gaia while we let polluters rot the earth and the rivers and the sea.
no one left behind coz nobody allowed to move ahead.
imperceptible?
Imperceptible in the concept that @rycharde expressed that over a century, probably more, we did not see what agendas were slowly being implemented until it became too late to actually understand how and where this all began. You're right about everything you are saying, but believe me, we are an infinitesimal and imperceptible group of awake and aware people. These agendas are still imperceptible to the main culture. You and I are in the counterculture, so we see the Totalitarian Sprint, while those in the main culture, and to a lesser extent the subculture, are completely oblivious to what is happening to humanity and the planet.
I'm guilty, Bro! I know I should study the classics before they all get cancelled! 🤦♂️ I'm not one to read a lot lately; ever since I discovered that I learn better by listening. But I do love to listen to people like Cornel West, who are brilliant at interpreting the classics for the modern age.
Humanity is really a difficult species to manage!
