Better than tyranny marketed as “democracy”


True Choices, Studied Choices, Demanding and Ensuring Right to Choose

The citizenry duty of politics, that which is “of the citizen” (not of the partisan) should be engaged — NOT a game or sport.

  • STOP foreclosing outcomes, fulfilling prescribed prophesies.
  • STOP denying access
  • STOP calling sport (winners and losers) and laying bets
D
emocracy that isn’t

Ordinary Americans (the average Joe and Jane) — parroting what should be seen (and seen through) as round-the–clock manipulative mantra of politicians, commercial marketing, and mass media — brag about “their” (“our”) democracy.

Perhaps some Americans, especially the young and impressionable ones, really believe they live in a democracy— even believe the ludicrous notion that U.S. leaders and their partners are “exporting”  “democracy” along with “humanitarianism” to the “heathens” (terrorists, dictators, communists, socialists, whatever name leaders and partners choose to assign).

All of this is false. Every key word used to manipulate the masses (democracy, humanitarianism, heathen, and variations on that theme) is false.  

In no respect is the United States a functioning democracy. And this state of affairs is not alone caused by the manipulators. It is also caused by the sheep, Americans willing to be manipulated.

T
he United States of America is not a functioning democracy by any name — Republic, Constitutional Democracy, Representative Democracy — because those ordinary Americans (the lazy Jane’s and Joe’s, the distracted masses) fixated on personalities and pageantry, sport and superficiality have sacrificed, surrendered, given up or failed to develop and/or hone the discipline of critical judgment, decision-making and required rigor, the power of independent choice, and the inalienable right to choose.

A war party, a party of the status quo comprising two wings, Republican and Democrat, is tyranny—oppressive power exerted over the mind of the masses. In the American context, it is the tyranny of entrenched politicians, gerrymanders, plutocrats, their families and partners of convenience.

Having said that, perhaps what distinguishes U.S. tyranny is that we can break free.

MONEY Plays. CORRUPTION Reigns, RULING OUT any semblance of substantive qualification or assurance of democratic participation, practice, or process
