This is what big government creates: a political/ruling class. And we are now cursed with an aristocracy that doesn't even have the historical sense of noblesse oblige. They have no tradition or sense of duty or service - as was passed down through the families of actual aristocracies like that of the civilized English of the past. They only have the grasping, primitive instincts of tyrants and thieves, like the current bully-boys in Africa and the Middle East.
I don't see how this can be fixed peacefully...anymore than Angola, Ruanda, or Sierra Leone could be "fixed" peacefully.

YA, I fear there is a storm coming and none of us will like it. . . .
ReplyDeleteJust picked up Ringo's "Ghost" novel from the library today,flipped thru:pages 6 & 7 pertain to this quite nicely.Thanks for the earlier clue-in! (as well as Wilson novels-I just started "Conspiracies").As George Will wrote long ago,it's not a question of whether an elite rules a culture,but WHICH elite.I'm in the middle of watching a doc series on "Churchill's Bodyguard",which,despite a constant urge in my head to add a Monty Python twist to the solemn events,still re-enforces the point of your first paragraph.Grandpa said that people in mobs/groups have always been shits,we just hear about it now more often.The bigger the crowd,the lower the I.Q.,hence the constant manipulations of the Left of a mis-definition of "democracy",as opposed to "liberty".There IS a difference...
ReplyDeleteWe have come (through the machinations of an ignorant or evil education establishment) to believe America is a democracy. A mob.
ReplyDeleteBut we are not, and have never been.
And soon, we will be a fascist dictatorship...just as soon as Zero and his "democrats" can manage it.
A time for all seasons, and all that. Just wish I didn't have to see it.
Throughout our history,there has always been the Mob ("Boston Massacre"-THAT was a sick joke-a bunch of mostly-thugs from Boston making a bad situation worse...the "sainted" Attucks et al was a gangsta,no-account shithead).The wonder is that cooler heads prevailed despite all the dumbfucks at various crisis-points.It's ALWAYS been that trade-off.It's that knowledge of the History of Humanity overall that causes me to smile at the marvel of the Human Spirit's survival,even with its suicidal tendencies.We've done this cakewalk dance with fascism for quite a few generations.The downfall usually comes from within,in the end,when the populace is sufficiently "dumbed down",and degraded in its sense of self-respect and self-sufficiency.We weren't a "mob" when it counted,unlike the French,but...
