Enemies of Democracy? ( Part 2)

 

The Enemies of Democracy (Part 2)

To recap: in the previous essay (Part 1), philosopher John.Stuart Mill believed that public opinion is the highest threat to democracy.

Roger Scruton (unerringly) aimed at the crux of the  most dangerous issue to democracy. 

To continue....

Roger Scruton wrote,..

'To guarantee freedom of opinion 'goes against the grain of social life, and that people may be reluctant to take, [ such risks ]  

 For in critical thinking, 'so opposing orthodoxy, you are not just questioning a belief you are opposing the social order that has been built on it.' (edited)

A current example of that is....

"The very deliberate campaigns of suppression conducted by pressure groups against politically unfashionable or 'incorrect' views or 'wrong' opinions." (edited)

 

Thus, for example the notion of 'naturally' systemic  racism of predominantly white 'privileged' citizens, gender re- assignment or deliberate mutilation on minors who are not old enough to vote yet considered wise enough to know their own mind on their apparent sexuality to agree to such life-altering surgery, the false notion of same- sex attraction with the rise of subsequent same- sex relationships delusional fogginess. ( edited)

These above notions are falsely promoted by a mindset that is terroristic in nature but without the violence. Instead of  attempting change via normal protocols or accepted means, these pressure groups assume a kind of the ends are justified by the means attitude. This is the attitude of the terror cells' modus operandi without the apparent violence. Bully and attack until they submit, that's their remit.

 The attempts to impose a new vocabulary  without consultation and demanding blind adherence and the deceitful alteration of  various accepted word's meaning that implicitly, even explicitly accepts the warring campaigners'  point of view only.

In conclusion,the powerfully  deployed and so-called  intellectual superiority exhibited by  many of the various Experts and Politicians and Tech and other complicit Organisations and the Legacy Media that suppressed alternative views and free speech of dissenting sentients is manifestly unacceptable. 

 

 It was found that immediately afterward [ the news of and trending internet queries ]of first assassination attempt on the then campaigning former President Trump was "re-shaped and re-ordered " by the Google search Engine! 
Later Mark Zuckerberg confessed publicly that the Biden administration routinely had 'pressured 'Facebook to censor all kinds of alternative facts, opinions and other newsworthy information and events.

Paradoxically as it seems, the so- called Cultural Revolution  or Culture Wars of Western nations with its attendant political ills.  Was forecast  by many Christian Historians, Theologians and non- Christian pundits and futurists, this state of being in the West was in fact predicted, as many state, centuries before and in  conjunction with culture warriors or activists unfortunately  was uniquely fulfilled.

When tradition and intellectual freedom is narrowed and ignored by forces of nihilistic darkness,chaos ensues.

The outcome of the abandonment of these traditional elements of democracy dissolves political engagement and disrupts the potential social order.

In other words,break the customs,agreed norms and normal relationship between people and society they live in, democracy falls apart. A descent into authoritarianism eventually despotism and global social unrest.

 

it is my contention that the social disorder and political unrest revealed globally in the past decades are an outworking of the left -wing politics and the globalist agenda with openly blatant organisations like the World Economic Forum, the governing bodies of the EU and the UN leading the fools' way.  All kinds of theories are marshalled and customised by many well- meaning persons. Such is the nuanced nature and complexities of mankind's. thinkers and commentators.Almost any given event is interpreted multiple ways!

 

Thank God for God!

( Opinion by Digital Anvil)

I thank the Author, Jonathan Sumption whose essay on Democracy and its Enemies formed much of these essays' direction. However such  editing,linking,shaping and re- working of these essays are mine.

Although the overall direction is derived from the above mentioned essay,my essays represent a more robustly held views not necessarily espoused in his original contribution. 

 

Post Script:

Remarkable as it seems some contend that the problems of current Western democracies are further exacerbated by deliberate fear-raising tactics of openly warring subversive groups like Antifa and the like.
