Nations Need Management; Not Commandment
When examining the overbearing nonsense inflicted with greater upon greater insistence on our carefully crafted democracies here in the West, I cannot help but think of Matilda's Miss Trunchbull. The tyrannical headmistress that ruled her school with an iron fist (or hammer; given her chosen favoured athletic event). Until Matilda enrols at the academy and uses her exceptional skills to topple the bestial woman, expelling 'The Trunchbull' from her draconian school - see, regime.
What of Matilda? She is fiercely precocious; highly intelligent, reasoned and calm under pressure (having powers of telekinesis helps too). Why laud the powers of a fictional girl from a children's novel/movie? Like everything in life, Matilda is loaded with symbolism; also nothing stokes progressive perceptions than the chance to "unpack" something. Unfortunately for far-left ideologues, they are 'The Trunchbull;' they've fed society with too much cake, and now we're fighting back, something that will lead to SJWs in The Chokey!
Nations are nurtured. Tended to with fastidious attention to detail that it is only manageable when trusted to others, vested with the authority to run a country. At the same time, I have always been suspicious of those seeking power for the sake of it - an ambition infecting most politicians in today's world. Often the most reluctant leaders make the best leaders, which communicates the solemn duty that bearing the brunt of a nation's endows. Solemnity evolves into punitive measures when the more dictatorial of rulers end up governing.
Cruel to be kind seems like a mantra for the elites in government and those chairing major corporations. They know best for you and to question them gets you some time on the naughty step, or detention (prison in this case: #FreeTommy). In large part, it is a state of panic in a world that has changed more for communication in the last ten years than it had in the previous century beforehand. A decade ago, YouTube was still a fringe platform, Twitter didn't exist and people still used MySpace every now and again. While Facebook's popularity had grown (as did Google and Amazon's), it was not the ubiquitous overlord of online that it is now.
3G was still in wide use ten years ago. A clunky forebear of the modern 4G we have today, so social media and worldwide interaction did not consist of the swift swipes of moments. When the iPhone was in its infancy with BlackBerry as its only competitor, social media remained a novelty with most people having to sit at a desk with a large PC for their internet connection. The inception of smartphones that are now more powerful than most computers of the last decade is inconvenient for politicians and mainstream media. The halcyon days where they had total control is over, Napster was a warning they failed to heed, the glancing blow. Blockchain is the head shot!
Many now rail against the elite corporations, some of us think they have stepped up their measures when in truth, the mask has slipped. These forces have always bee this authoritarian, it is just that burgeoning tech blindsided them and greater exposure has left globalists, well, exposed! Now the measures against freedom of expression have bared their fangs and are failing to inject the nullifying venom they once did. We see the snake in the grass now, as the rose-tinted spectacles that once camouflaged it have fallen and more are receiving this too. Soon everyone will begin pelting the Nanny State with everything at hand, like the kids in Matilda do to Miss Trunchbull!
