The film #Idiocracy is an influence & inspiration for one of my #games #Slartboz

I believe we do already live in an idiocracy. That film just took it to an extreme. Set in a future #dystopia. That rough strategy is what I am doing too with my #future #sim

I sometimes refer to the "idiocracy" phenomenon, in private, as a "duh-mocracy"

#Democracy sounds nice when in contrast to a brutal #autocracy or #totalitarian #dictatorahip. A reasonable stance

But if majority rules & ~51% #idiots: BAD

Of course, a totalitarian wants something different than what a liberal or anarchist wants. The liberal politician favors subtle deception because he is trying to dissipate tension and lull the people into complacency. This creates the stability (at least temporarily) that the liberal desires. The totalitarian, on the hand desires catharsis through conflict and the purge of "the enemy". For this reason, the totalitarian wants to force everyone to take a side with no option for compromise, and there is no better way to force this conflict than by promoting brazen lies.
#Trump #totalitarian #lies

... Why? Because of "national security" concerns. That means: Protesters in Hong Kong and the mainland have used file-sharing to coordinate. But emperor Xi Jinping doesn't want his subjects to coordinate or even organise. An atomized population is easier to oppress. #Totalitarian

According to #British #intelligence experts, the suppression of criticism of the Russian war of aggression in #Ukraine is taking on absurd proportions in #Russia. The authorities are "#paranoid" and unsure of what is acceptable in an increasingly #totalitarian system, according to the daily intelligence report from the Ministry of Defense in London.

"@historickomodo submission: “Salvador Allende didn’t die for this shit.”

For newbies playing along at home, this #meme circulates all over the place on #liberal pages, and it’s filled with #contradictory pieces of #ideology. Firstly, one can’t really be a #capitalist and a #socialist at the same time – if you support capitalist #ownership over the means of #production, then you support capitalism; if you support #democratic ownership over the means of production, where people have a say in the #institutions and #activities they contribute to, then you support socialism. I don’t know how to make it more succinct than that. Also, #communism is the post-scarcity natural conclusion of socialism, a #stateless/ #moneyless/ #classless #society where #socially-operated #property is held in common and #people “contribute according to their #abilities and receive according to their #needs”; #statelessness is a #fundamental aspect of the ideology, ergo a #totalitarian #government “forcing everybody to be exactly equal” is not communism. 

Secondly, channeling government power to curb capitalism’s self-destructive excesses is merely Keynesian #welfare capitalism or Scandinavian social democracy, both of which try to use the state to mitigate structural tension within the parameters of the system (and all-too-often to wither away class consciousness and pushes for actual socialist change). 

Thirdly and lastly, “the #economy and society being run democratically to meet #human needs rather than #profit for a #greedy few” is literally socialism. Capitalism by definition will always have a tiny class of owners pulling the #economic and #political strings; as long as they own the means of production and accrue profit off the backs of the #laboring class, they will always, always have disproportionate power in society. Such is the #nature of class relations – throughout history, laboring classes have produced the things society needs while ruling classes have sat and accrued the most #wealth. If labor produces all, why not have a society democratically run by #laborers?"

What Is Ruscism?
( #Ruscism — Brand New russian Totalitarianism)

Ukrainian legislators considered the materials by Timothy Snyder, Anne Applebaum, Mark Lipovetsky, and other researchers.

The resolution states that ruscism is a #totalitarian #ideology and practice, the formation of which was influenced by:

👉 russian chauvinism and imperialism

👉 Soviet totalitarian regime

👉 German National Socialism (Nazism)

#Ukraine 🇺🇦 #RussiaIsATerroristState

It’s a movement that literally demonizes opponents as agents of Lucifer. And this #totalitarian with-God-or-with-the-devil outlook…presents an ‘existential threat to #Democracy bc democracy is about varying groups w/ diff visions for society, competing to have a say, or to find areas of compromise”

With my 68 fellow MEPs' we have sent a letter to MS Elke Van den Brandt, Minister of the Govt of the Brussels-Capital Region to urge the creation of a pan-European memorial to honour all the victims of the #totalitarian regimes of the 20th century in Brussels.

The right is not YET fully othering people of the #Jewish faith, but that's only because they have other smaller minorities to threaten, bully, and pick on. (#Gays, #Trans, #Progressives.)
If you're not a rich #hetero white male, it's just a matter of time before they come for you.
The natural progression of #totalitarian movements is to get increasingly radical and cruel until they self-destruct.
Unfortunately, it usually takes more than 3 generations for that to happen. 🥥

I do not fear a #mutipolar world. What I fear is that some of those poles should be #authoritarian, #totalitarian regimes.

"The #gender critical movement is a #totalitarian and #genocidal social force that targets not just #transgender people, but also all the institutions of #democracy that protect individual and collective human rights."

@unfossil

I have no problems with your phrasing and having a different opinion is not disrespectful.

Fact is that

1) #CCP is not allowing foreign businesses to operate in #China without majority ownership by #China.

2) #CCP has held a press conference in response of the #tiktok hearing claiming the US has no rights to regulate #tiktok operating within the US

3) #CCP is using #softpower #warfare to destroy #democracies since successful democracies undermine their #totalitarian #ideology

The thing about #authoritarianism is that authoritarians almost always believe they are going to end up as members of the ruling class when their #totalitarian wet dreams come true, but in reality, the vast majority of them are snivelling, submissive cowards, which is precisely why they seek the comfort of institutionalised power structures.

Russia committing war crimes? What a shocker a #totalitarian #roguestate commits crimes against humanity. It's almost as if #russiaisaterroriststate

#Fascism is #dictatorial? #Totalitarian is dictatorial?

"In fascist countries, by contrast, both policy and leadership are rigidified, almost always under the iron fists of a dictatorial strongman leader and the morbidly rich. Legislation that passes represent the will of special interests rather than the people more generally"
