Have you ever seen such a huge flock of ducks?! 🦆😧 | INCREDIBLE TAILS

JMSmith nails it again. Actually Gaetano Mosca nailed it a hundred years ago. I've never heard of Mosca but I am a dedicated follower of JMSmith so I continue to learn slowly. JMSmith does a good job of explaining how the idiocracy maintains their power and position. This quote sums it up succinctly:
“There are doctrines that satisfy sentiments which are widespread and very deeply rooted in the human heart and, accordingly, have greater powers of self-propagation; and . . . doctrines that possess the quality to a lesser degree and therefore, though they may be more acceptable on the intellectual side, have a far more limited appeal.” - Gaetano Mosca, The Ruling Class, p. 190
If we to have any hope of breaking the chains the idiocracy has laid on us, we are going to have to get our ducks in a row. Right now they are all wandering around all over the yard, squawking in all directions and are totally ineffective.

This is really not new to most thinking individuals.
Ever notice the very rich are mostly assholes?
But take a high school student who understands this is faced with a choice.
1- Become a rebel and live a life of disappointment or be crushed.
2- Play by the rules and seek to be a rich and influential player in the system.
3- Try to find a country with a better system (good luck with that).
We have the best government that money can buy. Just ask the ones who bought it.
Demanding smaller government is a popular rallying point but find out what the government is doing for your benefit as well as your perceived determent.
Congress passed a law to prevent importing prescription drugs. Of course it was to protect the profits (and campaign money) of US drug companies. But it also protects Grandma with a tight budget from bad drugs by shady makers.
So anyone demanding smaller government should be questioned as to what to cut.
It would be too easy to change the system to something worse.
