Why do rebels do we not?
Excerpts from "The oligarchy that's enough, long live democracy" by Hervé Kempf (Chapter 5)
How popular apathy explained she?
One reason is (...) the political and mental conditioning allowed the media control
including television. Youth is the first victim culture comes primarily from the small screen
(...) Having swallowed 100 000 advertising messages since birth does not help
develop a political vision of the world (...).
The extension of the packaging media is the fatalism that has become a common feature
of the time. The TINA - "there is no alternative", there is no alternative - Margaret Thatcher has
permanently embedded in the minds and comes in many forms: there is no other solution than
capitalism as communism was defeated, and we are a democracy
since we're not a dictatorship; growth is essential, if not further increase unemployment
; criticize inequality is populist; can not tax the super-rich , since
run away elsewhere, all we can do for the environment will be canceled
by the weight of China, etc.. The griots of the oligarchs that speech babble continuously helplessness (...).
Fatalism is so intense that he became deaf in a culture heavily individualistic
(...): The massive success, a brilliant and compelling of capitalism since 1980 has been generalized to a point
never seen the withdrawal se, the denial of collective contempt of cooperation, competition
ostentatious. Unable to join in the protest, the lowest seek refuge from at
in all forms of escape (...).
The evidence of global inequality finally established itself under all, and those living in Western societies
even eroded by the oligarchy of the privileged to know, which creates a paradoxical
solidarity with the class leader who cynically take advantage of the general frailty (...).
Another reason why our citizens do not upset the owners of yachts and
cigar buyers who so obviously despise: they think we are
democracy. Imperfect, sick, tired, but in a democracy. However, democracy is the power of
people, is not it? How then could the people there to rebel against himself?
In most Western countries, the democratic sentiment is permanently ingrained in the popular mind
. All are anxious to maintain thoroughly setting procedures that are
rite and whose election is a solemn ending. Political theater is undoubtedly colored
: you vote often, functioning institutions, politicians
restless restless, incessant rustling information and comments appear
testify to the vitality of free speech. How not to think that we
democracy?
