They have lost the mandate of heaven, and stand damned and condemned by their Innumerable crimes. It is now only a matter of time. A system based on deception and incompetence cannot prosper, it can only crumble and collapse. They will continue to be dangerous for many years to come. Their eradication will be the work of a generation.
But that a new aristocracy, a nobility of virtue and worth, shall be forged in this flame is now inevitable.
A great article, thanks Chris. Albeit, as someone pointed, depressing. I do want to pin hope on initiatives that you spoke about previously, with the rise of local community movement. The key game changer is awakening of leadership within ordinary people. I never really understood what leadership means, not before covid happened. Now I do. If ordinary people like myself realize they have power to change things, only if they took initiative, and this awakening happens en masse, there's hope. We have been brought up to conform and fit to the rules out thete, not to action and change those rules. Something amazing is brewing under all this misery
Wonderful, though depressing, piece. The thievery, hypocrisy & malevolence of those in power (I refuse to call them leaders) & those who support them i.e. bureaucrats is beyond comprehension. I've come to believe that many who seek election do it mainly to push their own agenda, not for the good of those who they represent e.g. in Australia our 'climate' minister Bowen, who's hell bent on sending us down the Europe road with re-newables, our 'treasurer' who is planning on 're-making' capitalism i.e. changing it to socialism & last, but no means least, our prime minister who's advocating in entrenching a racial element into our constitution i.e. a 'voice', made up of ONLY aboriginal Australians, in to 'advise' the parliament on matters impacting aboriginal Australians. Never mind that $35 BILLION is already going to that section of our people, which, btw, only number 800,000 & already have over 50 bodies advising our government, over 1,000 land councils & 11 democratically elected members of parliament. These people care naught for the greater population, it's only about them & their ambitions & 'legacy'! Economy, health & prosperity for the majority of us are totally ignored.
"But the regime has given the game away." Exactly. They got greedy and arrogant and overplayed their hand. Like in the Wizard of Oz, the curtain was pulled back far enough for everyone but the wilfully blind to see the buffoonish confidence-men pulling society's strings -- only, instead of an avuncular clown and somewhat sympathetic figure who tries to right his wrongs, as in the Wizard of Oz, we find a cabal of demonic killer clowns straight out of a demented Steven King story, trying to cause as much chaos and suffering as they can, while they destroy everything True and Beautiful and Good in the world.
Your essay is well-written and well-reasoned, and I like the hopeful note on which it ends: a legitimate elite class can arise and gain ascendancy based on their commitment to Truth, Virtue, Excellence, and Beauty.
Anarchy is the exact opposite of tyranny.
Anarchy just means nobody is reigning over people. Anarchical systems are not inherently prone to high crime rates.

Well said. Can’t put it any better.

Excellent essay Chris, thank you
