6/10 Michael Lind; American oligarchs success lies in making its existence appear non-existence

The public willingly participate in their own subjugation; the left wing believes the establishment aims to spread right wing ideals globally, dominated by capitalists, Wall Street and Washington DC

5/10 This applies to wider society; privileged elite at the top, resistant to demotion, blocks social mobility and replacement by Meritocrats. Negative selection is deliberately designed and perpetuated to maintain the power of over-promoted elites.

We MUST replace these systems with Meritocracy

4/10 Fear of replacement by meritorious subordinates lead them to remove them (by firing or transferring), creating a chain of incompetence down the hierarchy. This is the "Dilbert Principle";
Competent workers are unlikely to be promoted as they are essential for actual work.

3/10 Incompetent leaders become toxic, hinder progress and cost companies, those overpromoted ones usually realise their incompetence but cling to positions for the salary and perks

"Work is accomplished by those employees who have not yet reached their level of incompetence" -Laurence J. Peter

2/10 Peter Principle; In a hierarchy, individuals tend to rise to a level of responsibility above their competence.

Good workers are promoted until they exceed their talent, ending up in positions they are not competent for. Donald Trump is the archetypal example of this principle come to life

8/8 In summary: democracy, as it exists, is the perfect con trick, a supreme hustle. The rich have solved the dialectic of private versus public rule by pretending the people are in charge while maintaining absolute control themselves. It’s a dictatorship of the oligarchs masquerading as freedom.

7/8 Give people the appearance of power, and they’ll accept their servitude. Meanwhile, the elite consolidate their wealth and influence, ensuring their children inherit their thrones of power. The Roman mob at least got free bread, you are footing the bill

6/8 You’re not just complicit, you actively *pay* for your own oppression. You buy the junk food, the streaming subscriptions, the gadgets. You willingly participate in your own enslavement, all for the fleeting dopamine hit of the next big spectacle.

5/8 Today, the elites have simply swapped the bread for junk food and the circuses for a 24/7 barrage of entertainment. Movies, TV shows, video games, reality TV, social media—this is the modern Colosseum, a circus that never ends, designed to keep you bloated and distracted while the world burns

4/8 the "bread and circus" strategy, humanity’s favorite pacifier. In ancient Rome, the "mob" was kept docile with free bread and grandiose entertainment like the Colosseum’s bloody spectacles. It was a simple equation: feed the masses and amuse them, and they won’t rise up or question their rulers

3/8 Liberal democracy, in its essence, is the very dialectical antithesis of what it claims to be—a system where the wealthy few dominate through rigged laws, markets, and political systems. It’s a psychological web of control that keeps the masses distracted with consumerism and spectacle.

2/8 Democracy is deliberately designed to sustain the elite in perpetual power. The narrative they feed us? That they are the selfless servants of society, tirelessly working for the people's best interests. This is nothing but propaganda to keep the masses docile and compliant.
