The Paradox of the Democrats

I have said it many times before, but it is a necessary premise: democracy is not the triumph of the will of the people, but of manipulation, and the result, plain for all to see, is decline.

This premise serves only to make clear that I do not believe in democracy and have no intention of defending it. The "beautiful souls" of cultural hegemony, who infest 99% of the media, seem to be particularly attached to it, though.

In recent years, however, they keep falling into an evident paradox.

In Romania, a man considered far-right wins democratically and the vote is annulled. The people protest, legitimately, but the media portray them as manipulated and cry out about a totalitarian, anti-democratic risk.

In Germany, however it ends up, many Germans will vote AFD. The "good guys" call for a cordon sanitaire so that they can never come to power, and others would like the party dissolved.

In Georgia, a pro-Russian party wins and is immediately branded anti-democratic. The minority that takes to the streets to protest, unlike the Romanians, is not considered manipulated or funded: for the media, they are the "resistance".

Soros and Bill Gates are "philanthropists", Musk is an "oligarch". As for Zuckerberg, they are now in a muddle.

One might almost think that, for the "beautiful souls", democracy simply means that the people they like must win, and has nothing to do with the people.

We should ask ourselves: what do they mean by democracy?
Or are they perhaps simply totalitarians without the backbone to admit it?
