Has the rule of the elites run its course? I don’t think it has.
This writer thinks it has.
What do you think?
I largely agree with this part of what he says:
"The G7 leaders base their rule not upon the consent of the governed, but upon the coercion of the governed through the powers of the administrative state, multinational corporate actors, and Big Tech. This is elitism and it’s why these leaders fear its antithesis—populism—even to the point of endeavoring to slander and libel it as “white supremacy” and prosecute it as “domestic terrorism”.
If one listens carefully, these G7 elitists echo the rationale for ruling used by the Chinese Communist Party. The CCP leaders have long held that history has rightfully placed them in totalitarian control of their population; and that they must protect their nation’s prosperity and security from liberty, which they equate with democratic disorder.
In both instances the people’s liberty is deemed a danger to the greater good.
Despite their paeans to their professed noble motives, all the G7 leaders offer is fear—namely, the end of the world from some impending apocalypse: e.g. COVID-19, climate change, white supremacy.They demand, “Do what we want or the world will end.” It would sound silly if the stakes weren’t so great.
That DOES sound silly, because it IS silly.
