Democracy’s Holy Day

Tuesday, November 6th, 2012

You should not celebrate democracy’s holy day, Foseti says, citing Bruce Charlton:

Once people have become used to relying on a procedure as utterly indefensible as voting to make their most important decisions, once they have been induced to regard voting as if it was not just ethically acceptable but in fact the pinnacle of goodness, the one-and-only ethical behaviour; then these people are embarked on a path of apostasy, inversion of values, and self-destruction.

People who have given their allegiance to voting as the most valid, authoritative and moral decision-making procedure have been manipulated into a self-reinforcing psychosis in which a system of zero validity, zero authority and zero morality is treated with quasi-divine reverence.

Instead, he recommends watching The Nine Lives of Marion Barry — and these political messages from time-traveling President Camacho.
