💯 well said and true. Such a system can only work for the benefit of all, providing the elites are people of good character, judgement and intent. Acting to disseminate truth and facts for the benefit of their Nation. Not for selfish reasons, personal gain, and to proselytise for and on behalf of hostile parasitic ideologies, as has proven to be the case.
Good luck with that. You would need an elite of exceptional character, ability, integrity and moral, ethical and intellectual fortitude.
The section on Lippmann is especially sharp. It frames the internet as a continuation of elite management by new means. The essay reads like a mirror held to the modern citizen: informed, anxious, and obedient.
America once had a very vibrant and pluralistic ecosystem of thousands of of publications, and was vibrant and diversified within each topic area too; the post world war 2 consolidations of the information ecosystem has done great civilizational harm
I have read several books by Eldon J Eisenach on the Progressive Movement.These books provide an insight into what the Progressives mean when they use words such as public opinion, democracy, majority, law, justice and government. The Progressives interpretation of these words have little in common with what the general public understand them to mean.
The word “Democracy” has been used/abused by both left and right and I would be interested to hear Auron’s critique/comments of “The Ideology of Democratism” by Emily B Finley.
“Read the rest at The Blaze”
You’re kidding, right?
Lol!
“I hate gatekeepers.”
Also, “Glenn Beck is my boss.”

Yeah, enough of your “read the rest at the Blaze.” At least one of three articles you should post here. Then I might subscribe.

Thanks.
Quick question related to gatekeepers. Who disappeared the entire Blaze News Tonight team. Poof, just gone, no context no explanation, just gone.
Click bait. Spare us this crap.
