Capricious Democracy By Sovereign Imperator @DonnyServusDei Chapter 1: The Origins and Principles of Democracy Chapter 2: The Disunity and Strife of Democracy Chapter 3: The Corruption and Deception of Democracy Chapter 4: The Weakness and Shortcomings of Democracy Chapter 5: A Better Way Chapter 1: The Origins and Principles of Democracy Over the past 5,000-6,000 years of human civilization, many different governments have come and gone. We have seen Roman Republicanism and its Law of the Twelve Tables, the Feudal system and its revolutionary approach to social structure, Theocracy and its religious unity, Fascism and its ordered hierarchy, and of course, democracy. Of all the governing systems mentioned and unmentioned, by far the most prevalent in the modern day is democracy. Originating in Athens in 507 BC, democracy has since then been reformed and redefined to become the leading practiced government in our world. This change is more noticeable over the last 100 or so years than ever before. At the start of the 20th century, only around 15 democracies existed across the globe. By the end of the 20th century, over 100 countries accepted and practiced democracy. This radical growth in popularity can be most directly attributed to globalization and the two World Wars. By globalization, the truth (or perhaps lie) of democracy was spread around the world. And the defeat of the authoritarian Nations in 1945 secured democracy’s spot atop the world stage as truly the most popular of governments. The end of the Cold War in 1991 also contributed by defeating Communism, which was at the time the last source of opposition to democratic rule. These statements are not exaggerations. Roughly 63% of Nations today have a democratic system in their government. This number is elevated to extreme heights when it is seen that virtually 100% of all industrialized or advanced Nations today use a democratic system. None today in any democratic Nation are taught to question democracy. From the moment children enter elementary school to the moment they graduate college, the superiority of democracy is drilled into their heads. In our media as well, democracy is consistently and always presented as the most ideal form of government. Any alternatives are brought forth only to criticize or demonstrate as inferior to democratic rule. Democracy, truly and genuinely, is the most perfect of governing systems, or so they tell us. I task myself now with the duty of questioning this alleged ‘truth’, and to bring forth the counterpoints to this near-universal belief. Some may hate me for doing so. Others will merely disregard what I have to say. But for those who yet possess the ability to see beyond the propaganda and receive this information with an open heart, I can promise that you will never be the same. Chapter 2: The Disunity and Strife of Democracy I write this essay from an American perspective, but its words may be applied to almost every Nation where democracy reigns supreme. With that being said, I would like now to take a look at the current political situation in my country, America. Any with eyes to see and a mind to think will instantly recognize upon beholding the United States that it is a Nation defined by division. We hate and curse one another to such great lengths that it has become almost indistinguishable from our very culture. Bickering has become tradition, and hate has become our morals. Be not fooled by the name. There is nothing ‘United’ about the United States of America. This division, this source of conflict and strife, has one clear source. The electoral system. These contests of popularity place brother against brother, father against son, and neighbor against neighbor in what side one shall support. The only way democracy can function is by corroding the populace into viewing one another as the primary source of the Nation's flaws. We no longer view ‘good’ and ‘evil’ for what they are, but rather, these ethics become sorted and grouped into Left or Right, and not the other way around. The two parties then control the definition of ‘righteousness’, and wage a war to indoctrinate as many people as they can into following their agenda blindly. The true source of righteousness, religion, is either sidelined, used as a tool, or forgotten entirely. In the Holy Bible, Mark chapter 3 verses 24-25, it says: "And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand." These holy words surely hold more truth now than ever before in history. Democracy is used as a weapon, intentionally or not, to divide and destroy us. When we stop looking outward for the enemy, and instead view our own brothers standing beside us as villains, that is when we must recognize just how severely the infection has run. There is no future for my country or any country in which divided we shall prosper. Only by unity and order shall our eyes finally be unblinded and the chains finally be cut loose. Democracy, unequivocally and undeniably, is the source of our division. If we wish to finally be free from the bitter animosity that binds us, we must cut off this source completely and utterly, and forge a new path forward. Chapter 3: The Corruption and Deception of Democracy The function of democracy is best described in one way: a popularity contest. In the end, that really is what it boils down to. A contest of which candidate and which Party has the most supporters backing it. This is the truest principle of democracy. And therein that principle lies the problem. Popularity. In democracy, popularity replaces reason, emotion replaces logic, and lies replace truth. Quantity is valued to the highest extent, whereas quality is all but ignored. The masses care little for a genius who cannot give a rousing speech, or make fanciful promises. They instead are attracted to whomever wears the nicer suit, and bears the prettier smile. Democracy is a contest to see which politician can tell the most lies, and how many ignorant people they can manipulate into voting for them. There is so little truth behind what our politicians now say that one would be better off considering their ‘promises’ as merely a fantasy. Even the most adamant of democracy supporters can no longer ignore this. The current President, Donald Trump, has fulfilled approximately 24.5% of the promises he glamorously made. Joe Biden, at best, fulfilled 33%. Barack Obama fulfilled less than 40%, and George W. Bush before him fulfilled less than 45%. No President ever in the history of America has fulfilled every promise made, or even gotten close to doing so. Roughly 95% of America's current politicians have received some form of money or backing from AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee). Of the 100 Senators ruling our Nation, all but one have directly received funding from AIPAC. That is a total of 99%. These politicians, supposed to represent the will of the American people, have done the exact opposite. As it stands, only 33% of Americans, with the percentage dropping by the day, support Israel. By that logic, only 33% of our Politicians should be supporting Israel, but that is not what is happening. A minimum of 3.8 billion dollars is given to Israel every year by the U.S. due to the Ten-Year Memorandum of Understanding Between the United States and Israel. However, that number jumped dramatically to upwards of 17 billion dollars with the rise of the Gaza conflict. This is American tax dollars being given to a foreign Nation for nothing in return. While our veterans sleep homeless on the street and our people cannot afford even the most basic of necessities, the Jews in Israel can sleep well knowing that billions of our tax dollars are being given for their luxuries and their protection. Democracy is not even the rule of the people, as it claims to be. It is the rule of the international clique who funds our politicians, and thus bribes these puppets into fulfilling their own hidden agenda. At its core, lobbying, whether it be done out in the open or behind closed doors, is one of the primary factors of democracy’s weakness and incapability. Lies must never replace truth, and yet, democracy makes it so. Chapter 4: The Weakness and Shortcomings of Democracy To pull a chariot, the natural instinct is to have all horses face the same direction and pull the same way. In authoritarianism, all horses collaborate together to pull the chariot forward. In democracy, the horses pull in opposite directions, thus achieving nothing and going nowhere. Democracy spawns division, and thus, the people will never be united. And as they are not united, the politicians they elect will never be united either (unless it is to serve their hidden backers), and will always pull in opposite directions. America is a man with ropes tied to his left and right arm, ever being torn apart more and more with every passing day. We as a Nation cannot be relied upon to hold true to our ideals and agenda for more than 4 years, or 8 at most, before suddenly changing course and nullifying any small change that may have occurred. This utter shortcoming has been continually ignored, as new political candidates continue to promise ‘permanent change’ which remains impossible in the current system. There is no permanency in democracy. There is only capriciousness; and an unpredictable ride to an end that can hold naught but ruin. Separation of powers is the deliberate and intentional weakening of our government so as not to ‘trample on liberties’. This is flawed in both concept and practice. The government exists to protect and govern the people; to act as a father to his children and ensure they are raised properly and grow safely. Separation of powers, a universal trope in democracy, completely rejects that and instead makes the father fight himself, thus hurting his children in the process. A warrior may deliberately shatter his sword into pieces so as to not cut himself, but the moment the enemy comes to fight him, the warrior finds himself totally exposed with nothing to use in defense but small, fractured shards. Separation of powers is the engine of national suicide. When a politician has to worry more about the next election and their own popularity more than the actual betterment of the people and nation, what good can be achieved? A politician operating in a democracy is far more concerned with your vote than anything else. Actual good for the people and good for the State will always be secondary, and if it is rarely achieved, it will be as a byproduct of striving for greater popularity as opposed to actual intention. Democracy, in any form, is truly and surely the weakest form of government. This is an observable fact. Many times, such as in a Libertarian democracy, the government prides itself on being weak. As Americans, we must decide whether we desire to have a strong, wise father protecting us, or a weak, lying cheat deciding our future. Chapter 5: A Better Way It is time now to make a choice. A choice that very well may determine not only our own future, but the future of our race entirely, and of our world, and of our children and their children and their children for a thousand generations after. For 250 some odd years America has been held back from true greatness due to the flawed system of democracy. It may not have been immediately noticeable, due to the initial influence of a Republican system, but now more than ever our Nation is plagued by the democratic cancer, and it is up to us to abolish it entirely. Whenever one looks at democracy, one sees disunity. Whenever one looks at democracy, one sees strife. Whenever one looks at democracy, one sees corruption. Whenever one looks at democracy, one sees deception. Whenever one looks at democracy, one sees weakness. Whenever one looks at democracy, one sees shortcomings. If none of these reasons sway your mind even partially, then surely I tell you, your eyes are blind! In its ideal form as the people's voice, democracy fails. In its actual form as a veil of corruption, democracy fails. No matter how one may try and prove otherwise, democracy is flawed. And there is no fixing it. There is only the matter of totally replacing it with something better. Something strong. Something permanent and prosperous. My fellow Americans, the old ways have failed. We can sit and rot and wait for collapse to inevitably take us, or we can resist and act now, thus securing our future and a future for our children. This is not a matter we can ignore or push away. This is not a choice any are exempt from. You are part of this Nation, you are part of this people, you are part of this world, and thus, you are part of this grand struggle. Resist the decline. Support a better way. Victory is impossible only for those who fail to strive for it. God be with us.
