RE: "Democracy" Turns Good People Into Arrogant, Lazy Authoritarians [Steemit Exclusive]

in #freedom6 years ago (edited)

This was such a great article, thanks for sharing. It wasn't that long ago that I realized that political crusading is both counterproductive and a waste of time. Not only because it's a tyranny of the majority, but also because the rulers would never allow a liberty political movement to succeed. Trying to change it from the inside won't work:

The majority’s moral power makes individuals internally ashamed to contradict it, which in effect silences them, and this silencing culminates in a cessation of thinking.
-Alexis de Tocqueville, "Democracy in America" 1831
