Democracy, Collective Lethargy and a Global Lack of Bravery

As I sit in my chambers contemplating my orb thinking about what’s next, writing blog posts to addressed to the void as some form of personal record of individual thought output, I obviously take it upon myself to react to the latest happenings, form an opinion and then scribble down some kind of reaction that proves that I am the holder of the supreme intellect and I have the foresight to predict all of reality.

I believe something similar occurs in every one’s mind when they analyse information placed in front of them by mysterious sources and try to peacock to their companions that they ‘know their stuff’ and can be trusted to steer the good ship Life in one particular direction.

Or something like that.

If anyone is actually reading this stuff, I hope you have a good day and that you get a kick out of this information. Obviously in my mind the information is ‘good’ and unlike any other information you can find at your usual designated information distributors.

Onward, then, to our friends from France, who seem to have invented the worst system of governance in the history of mankind, and yet try to project on a global stage that they’re really cool.

This seems the logical take from an Englishman contemplating the French…

Macron beats Le Pen! Hooray, shouts nobody.

What a crap electoral system.

Honestly. You start with loads of candidates, and whittle it down so that all the people vote for the ‘least bad’ candidate out of fear of ‘the far right’ – fear which is stoked in media channels controlled by the apparatus of state. I could postulate what I think about the Zemmour meme (forgive me if I get his name spelling wrong, I’m far too busy to check, and this extended parenthesis indicates the level of esteem to which I hold him), which I believe was some dumb government meme to place some really vulgar guy to spew tough words as a way to smear Le Pen’s candidacy (eg, now if he’s further ‘right’ than Le Pen, she’s tarred by the association).

She never stood a chance, unfortunately for her, because I believe that she’s standing from of a place of authenticity rather than political aspiration. Why else would she put herself through this over and over again?

Unless she’s simply a state actor designed to give the illusion of choice.

These folks on the TV do all appear as actors to me, and I don’t think that any of them have any functional power because it’s absurd to me that a human being, having achieved power, would be happy to hand it over to some stranger for free. Human history doesn’t really show any evidence that this is an achievable or believable goal.

Presumably the French electoral system is designed to be as bizarre and ineffectual as possible to program some kind of loyalty for my own nation’s electoral system. Along the lines of, if it’s so bad over there, at least it’s not as bad over here. This all leads to some kind of annoying situation where nobody has any form of ambition as to how to improve ‘the general governance of reality’, because we just keep this show playing on repeat ad infinitum.

Probably this means that it is simply a TV show that we all watch as avidly as we watched Game of Thrones. Similar to the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard situation essentially playing out as some kind of experimental live theatre production. None of it is real and none of it matters as nothing ever really changes.

Well, nothing ever really did change until the Covid pandemic where we all stayed inside and enjoyed house arrest based on information played to us through the media.

Therefore, I can conclude quite clearly that the media is what governs the world and we’re all kind of sitting bystanders.

I guess normally I wouldn’t care, but when it comes to nascent fatherhood and ‘wanting the best’ for my new offspring, I’m not in the process of bending the knee to some daft control freak who has vague ambitions of ruling the world. I’d rather produce Some Quality Entertainment.

Obviously this all comes to a head with checking in on our friends from the World Economic Forum, of which Macron is a ‘Young Leader’, and what they’re putting out, because clearly they run the world and they publish all of their information for free, but nobody ever reads it because it’s too uncomfortable to confront the great nemesis of our time.

Or it’s just fake programming designed to make me appear mad to my friends and family…

The World Economic Forum have some author (I won’t bother with his name, as it’s not worth the pixels on this website) advising their head honcho, Klaus Schwab, that humans are ‘hackable animals’ and the era of having a ‘soul’ is over.

I don’t know about you, but that’s grounds to declare that WEF are in fact our era’s Bond Villain and we should lock them up in a cell and provide playstations and apple juice so they get lazy and don’t ever want to leave prison. Kind of like what they’ve done to the world.

But the worst thing about all of this is that nobody will bat an eyelid to this whole bit as everyone is too scared to do anything other than submit and drink their own apple juice and play their own playstation because nobody has the balls to try and come up with a better solution to this whole mess.

Or, actually, if anyone comes up with something that goes against the media narrative, they get labeled ‘far-right’ and put on some kind of black list. It’s so boring and bullying.

That’s an accurate analysis of the world, unless all information shared on electronic devices is actually just some kind of training exercise. I like to think it’s more akin to ‘narrative framing’ to contextualise ourselves in the present to give us motivation to do things or invent drama, that kind of thing. Everything is too absurd and if I was a legitimate ‘evil group’ I would not publish my stuff online.

Unless the stereotypes of evil guys giving away all of their plans before the good guy defeats them are unironically true. That would be funny.
