The death of democracy is not likely to be an assassination from ambush. It will be a slow extinction from apathy, indifference, and undernourishment. - Robert M. Hutchins
Social collapse and economic impoverishment via mob rule, the imposition of mob rule, the ultimate and end result of democracy damages individual autonomy. It threatens and often eliminates your natural rights, life, limb and property. We are at whatever mercy the mob grants us, if any. Every time a legislative body meets, all, people are on the butcher's block. And all we can do is pray. It's not us. Our political power and political effect is completely irrelevant and moot. Our votes among the masses provides no security, no authority, no viable alternative to the will of the mob. will, granting them moral authority for whatever actions they press upon us. As time passes in a democracy, more and more of our natural rights are surrendered as the degenerative forces of entropy erode the moral backbones of the defenders of liberties. In substitute, our mobs emboss shiny papers with seals of guarantees which grant stamped signed by people long dead and buried spinning in their graves in a mob you cannot own yourself in. All you create is at its mercy and whim. If you are lucky, the mob will ignore you. At some point, however, the mob will turn and villainize you and make a caricature of you. They can destroy you. Everyone you love and all you hold dear by declaring you evil or having gained through ill by their sweat and blood. This won't be true and never need be. But those facts are immaterial to their case. In their resentment and envy, there can be no mercy nor justice, for they are the mob and resistance is futile. Democracy, especially in its current wealth or state form, likes to pretend it's superior to the developing world counterparts, with little warlords extracting fees to allow commerce and transit within its territory. But there is little difference. It is simply veiled and hidden behind the taxes which cannibalize the most productive people while also seeking out and destroying any chance to escape the grasping talons of the tax man. Though many do escape the oppression, the suffocating, relentless, oxygen starved and brain damaged mobsters, they who are driven by envy and greed, projects such a charge upon productive people to justify their actions. This resentment and evil can only be piled by an equivalent volume of intoxicants and sloth, granting the working people respite from their ever present parasite For the mob, your private property and life are not yours. And the so-called defenders of your rights, slowly but surely surrenders yours to the mob, if only to temporarily extend their political power. Over time, these continuous, slow surrenders and retreats accumulate within the bureaucratic framework and system until oppressive policy changes drown away all economic opportunity. Or finally, the wellspring from which the whole progressive project runs dry. Often followed by a great exodus, spreading the underlying resentment into the world. Though one might imagine that some introspection might be at hand here. It will not happen like a gangrenous infection. Envy devours all. One should not trust these same fickle structures, which once openly and proudly murdered some of our greatest thinkers and spiritual leaders. It took a democracy to murder the great Socrates and a jury to both condemn and then fail to pardon Jesus Christ. Who died on the cross? Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita warns Prince Aruna against these demonic people and ideas. To them, he says, all truth is relative. All goals aim towards the maximization of material pleasures without regard to himself, others, or society in general. They are trapped in a sort of hell of consumption while it consumes them. Their time is only considered in this regard, and so they waste much of it through sloth and inebriation. Their life in between pleasures is experienced as pure pain to which they will pay any price to end their wealth, their love, their souls forever. They live in the present. Rarely a thought is given to the future. They would burn down their home in the middle of a winter to feel the increased warmth, soon to be left totally exposed and doomed. One would think they would do a civilization a favor and just die, but they do not, and instead will burn their neighbor's house to feel more warmth. This is how things regress away from civilized life into brutal barbarism. Soon to as this destruction exhibits its ruinous effects on the civilized attacking humanity itself in an end tropic spiral towards the beast unconscious. Once the decline begins, great poverty ensues as the base structures dissolve due to the destruction, ill maintenance and by an incentive, an infrastructure shortage burdens forth lesser lower levels of infrastructure start to be used, which is less efficient...
