The Post-Partisan Emporium

  The Century of the Other John Michael Greer As a rule, no American election means as much as the shouting immediately afterward might lead you to think. Every four years, with a regularity that clockwork rarely matches, the supporters of the winning party pile all their daydreams of Utopia onto their candidate, while the partisans of the losing side howl that this time the jackboots and armbands will show up for certain. Then the new president is inaugurated, and something close to business as usual resumes. These have been getting plenty of use since November 5. This time, granted, the yelling is unusually loud. Some of that is an unintended byproduct of the losing side’s demonizing rhetoric during the last weeks of the campaign. Having convinced themselves (if no one else) that Donald Trump is literally Hitler, many Democrats are quaking in their shoes, sure that he must now act out the role they assigned him and throw them all into camps.

This is crucial because all subsequent uses of this concept are in some way connect...

And if they are equal, they are not free." -Solzhenitsyn More and more people in society lately are awakening to the fact that ‘Democracy’ is not only  not  all its cracked up to be, but that it may infact even be  unnatural . And I don’t mean that in the sense that Democracy has merely been institutionally diluted or perverted in the West by way of the various cultural erosions, political schemes, and overreaches we’re now so used to grumbling about. No, I mean that Democracy even in its  purest  form can be argued to make  no  sense for a modern world which has outgrown the scope for which the system was originally intended. Primarily, we’re talking about size. When applied to a country of sufficient size and population, Democracy loses its effectiveness as it devolves into little more than ‘mob rule’ of one region over ...
