Killing Democracy To Save ‘Democracy’<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Authored by\u00a0Kurt Schlichter<\/a>,<\/em><\/p>\n

Britain started arresting people for tweeting unapproved things, and France decided to arrest its leading opposition politician, so what happened in Germany was not a surprise. After all, Germans are the best at fascism.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

There, the establishment parties used the internal security apparatus to formally designate the AfD, which is an upstart populist party with a plurality of voter support, particularly by the young and by the eastern Germans, an extremist organization. <\/strong>This basically means it\u2019s open season for the heirs to the Gestapo and Stasi; banning it completely is the next step. Already, AfD supporters are being fired from civil service jobs. I guess with Germans, the only thing that changes is the uniform. Actually, that goes for all Europeans. They paid lip service to the idea of normal people having a say in their own governance but never believed in it. It was all a lie and a scam, but the mask is coming off. The ruling class is offering Europeans the choice between capitulation and rebellion.<\/p>\n

Now, let\u2019s not get too uppity here in America because our own garbage establishment would love to do the same thing.<\/strong> Its obstacles are that it\u2019s so dumb and that Americans are not yet a nation of low-T femboys; we also pack heat. Our ruling class tried to frame Donald Trump after trying to bankrupt him, and when that didn\u2019t work out, one establishment-friendly guy tried to murder him. The other guy who tried to murder him might be establishment-friendly, but we don\u2019t know anything about him for some reason. The point is we have a Boomer generation ruling class that is desperately seeking to cling to power and is willing to do anything to keep it. Anything. This is a matter of life and death, and they\u2019re willing to take lives and deal death to keep their power. As they keep losing, which they will \u2013 none of this is happening because they are intrinsically strong or competent \u2013 they will go further and further. More oppression. More tyranny. More bloodshed. It\u2019s all worth it to them. Their power is all that matters.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t going to work out well.<\/strong> History teaches us what happens when you suppress the voice of people expressing legitimate grievances and\u00a0boy,\u00a0are people\u2019s grievances ever legitimate. Economic dislocation. Anarcho-tyranny. <\/strong>A sanctioned invasion by Third World barbarians who rob, rape, and murder our citizens. Normal people have legit gripes, and they will be heard. It\u2019s just a matter of\u00a0what sound they make\u00a0\u2013 voices or explosions.<\/p>\n

Now, of course, this phenomenon isn\u2019t just limited to these countries. We\u2019ve seen similar antics in Brazil, Israel, Romania, and elsewhere. The entrenched establishment parties have no answer to the critiques of their gross incompetence, corruption, and arrogance, yet they are determined to hang onto power at all costs. Free speech and democratic norms \u2013 they don\u2019t matter. Why, the situation is so extreme, the peril so perilous, that these concepts must give way. We must protect democracy by utterly destroying democracy. But of course, these people never actually believed in free speech or democracy or any of that stuff. <\/strong>They only believed in their own power. They dress themselves in the\u00a0skin suits<\/a>\u00a0of the institutions they invaded, infested, and obliterated. We\u2019re supposed to respect them because they were once respectable, but the problem for the establishment, the insurmountable challenge it faces, is that we normal people are neither blind nor stupid. We can see what\u2019s happening, especially now that the regime media monopoly has been broken.<\/p>\n

Of course, they tried to handle that, too. Remember \u201cmisinformation?\u201d Oddly enough, the Venn diagram of \u201cmisinformation\u201d and \u201cThings the ruling class doesn\u2019t want people to say or hear\u201d is a single circle.<\/strong> Go back in time to 20 years ago and try to imagine somebody explaining to you that the government set up a specific organization to force media companies to suppress the points of view of the opposition. Sure, the regime media has always been left, but the idea of the U.S. government running an unapologetic censorship operation would\u2019ve been insane. They would\u2019ve summoned big dudes with butterfly nets to haul away anyone predicting that. And yet it was true. It happened. Our government did that, and other Western governments are even more open about it. The Germans are actively proud of their speech suppression, proving once and for all that\u00a0Morgenthau<\/a>\u00a0was right.<\/p>\n

This can\u2019t continue forever. It\u2019s not going to continue forever. This status quo is unsustainable. Our elite has failed.<\/strong> The ruling class is trash, and everybody knows it. However, alone among the countries around the globe, it\u2019s only America that seems to be able to beat the largely Boomer-driven reactionary response. Canada famously just reelected the same people who destroyed their country over the last 10 years. That was Trump\u2019s fault, of course \u2013 Canadians apparently have no agency. The Australians did something similar. France and Germany both had an establishment coalition made up of parties that should be at each other\u2019s throats instead unite to stop the populists from being heard. Le Pen is headed to jail and AfD is likely to be banned. In Romania, the EU regime just canceled the election. And again, this is all going to be cheered on by regime media lackeys as necessary for the protection of democracy, \u201cdemocracy\u201d meaning their perpetual stranglehold on power.<\/p>\n

So, how is it going to play out? <\/strong>Well, the Boomers of the West are either going to give up power like a normal generation would, or they are going to have power stripped from them. What\u2019s not going to happen is that normal people around the world are going to shrug their shoulders and submit to serfdom. The right thing to do would be self-sacrifice and voluntary retirement, but of course, when have you ever seen the Boomers do anything that benefited anybody but the Boomers?<\/p>\n

Well, it\u2019s theoretically possible that we avoid chaos and convulsion, but every day\u00a0it\u00a0looks less and less likely that we will be able to. We\u2019re facing greedy, stupid, and narcissistic people whose poor judgment has brought us to this place and whose poor judgment will tip us over the edge.<\/p>\n

The big question is where the conflagration ignites.<\/strong> Is it going to start in Europe? Maybe the great revolt begins in some Third World country. Trump already represents a revolt in the United States; if he fails, the guy who comes next won\u2019t be so nice. But the backlash is going to start somewhere. What can\u2019t go on won\u2019t go on, and this will not go on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
