UC Irvine Professor: We're Nearing the End of Democracy, Because The Rabble Won't Permit Their Thoughts to Be Controlled by a Smug and Non-Elite Elite Anymore
John Sexton quotes from Politco to explain the thesis-- it's the standard Democrat/Socialist/Obama cant that the public can't understand how awesome and smart we are because they're too dumb.Rosenberg, who earned degrees at Yale, Oxford and Harvard, may be the social scientist for our time if events play out as he suggests they will. His theory is that over the next few decades, the number of large Western-style democracies around the globe will continue to shrink, and those that remain will become shells of themselves. Taking democracy’s place, Rosenberg says, will be right-wing populist governments that offer voters simple answers to complicated questions. And therein lies the core of his argument: Democracy is hard work and requires a lot from those who participate in it. It requires people to respect those with different views from theirs and people who don’t look like them. It asks citizens to be able to sift through large amounts of information and process the good from the bad, the true from the false. It requires thoughtfulness, discipline and logic. Unfortunately, evolution did not favor the exercise of these qualities in the context of a modern mass democracy.

And you should stop asking questions completely if you know what's good for you.
Has anyone suggested to Mr "Wow! I'M Smart!" that actual democracy sucks if you're one of the sheep that the wolves vote to eat?
Has he read anything on the original Greek Democracies that encouraged our founders NOT to create a full Democracy in the first place?
Who's he kidding. Democracy doesn't require me to respect you, it only requires me to get enough people to agree with me so we can vote to tell you you need to go Fluck yourself now, and if you don't shut up we'll democratically agree to execute you later. Maybe in one of those bronze bulls we can heat up with you stuffed inside.

There are now large enclaves where they have self segregated. I know, I live in one called Central Calif. I now hear more Spanish spoken, than English, in public. You cannot get any normal job here unless you are Bilingual.

That is the goal of virtually every transport planning committee in the country. They literally brag about how their budgets are being used to 'calm' or 'slow' traffic.
Take the wonderful new agenda item, roundabouts. These are literally designed to get grant money from federal or state sources, and to slow down traffic, because they think that is what the travelling public are paying gasoline taxes for.

We do not live in a Democracy, yet, although getting there.

welfare of the nation.
Later this fell out of favor.

Oh - I think Harvard Guy is onto the right idea for all the wrong reasons.
Big Nation States are on the way out, the same way Big Companies are struggling in their last death throws. Big Everything is at a disadvantage. Thank the Information Age.
The notion of Economy of Scale is dying before our eyes. Smaller organizations are more nimble. Communication is effortless. There is very little "Institutional Knowledge" anymore. There's not much reason left to stay "big" just for the virtue of being "big".
The last big Nation States held together by force and bureaucracy are the USA, EU, and China. Democracy isn't the glue. Force and Bureaucracy are.
Democracy - such as it is - is why people are self-sorting. What does any group capable of self-sustaining do ? Why - they look for independence from the whole. They look for self-determination. They look for freedom. What could be anymore Democratic than that ?
The Information Age makes that easier than ever. So of course those who espouse Democracy hate it. They're not Democrats at all. Just like those who love the idea of a Republic on paper hate the notion of a Republic that can willingly go it's separate ways. Which without that right, ain't no Republic at all.

But that makes no sense. "right wing" and "populism" don't go together, it's like adding the adjective "shiitake" to "carburetor." Right wing wants small government and as few regulations as possible moving toward libertarianism (the real kind, not the weed kind).
Populism is just a concept that distrusts the elite for the ordinary. So what? Free markets run by ordinary people? Is that what he's objecting to? I suppose it is. I guess he thinks that the free market run by ordinary people who distrusts the elites wouldn't have room for transexual terrorist furries? Um, ok.

Garrett - you still ain't elaborated. And I get it. There are a ton of Americans that really like the notion of Empire America.
Jack Welch even understood that sometimes, to survive, you have to be willing to let parts of the whole die. His restructuring of GE into business units - when he did it - was nothing short of brilliant.

Evolution did fine. What evolution didn't do well was prepare us for a toalitarian political movement that infiltrates education and government under false pretenses, lies about its premise and intent, then systematically deplatforms, silences and outright dehumanizes and physically attacks anyone who points any of that out.
A sane and well prepared free people would categorize the above movement as itself a crime against humanity and treat members promoting it accordingly.

A REPUBLIC should be happy days of mostly ignoring the people that you elected to take care of a limited number of things and if they screw it up still not enough of a disaster that you can't just vote for someone else next time.

Bullshit.
When I started in this business, everyone had to find a job at an established company because the only other way was to go door to door knocking to sell your services or goods. And only whores did that shit.
Now ? I'm a freelancer. Everything I work around is a sub-contract. The barriers to entry are smaller than ever. I organized my little one-man automation band in a day - and had work that week.

Google de-listing your business on Maps, or tweaking Android subtly so that your app doesn't work correctly (they've been busted doing this repeatedly).

This is actually not at all true. Democracy doesn't require anyone to respect anyone. Majority take all and eff the losers.

He hasn't taken the time to consider left wing populism (to us) is exactly like right wing populism to him.
Someone earlier above said right-wing-populism is just a leftist scare word - like global warming, assault rifle, and high capacity magazines (when they really don't know what a magazine IS).
Seriously, if you pointed out large grass root movements of the left are just populism he'd tell you that's really not what they are. He'd fling around some other 4 dollar Hahvahd word for it.

Simplistic is "end all fuels that work, because the world will end in 12 years (even if we end all oil/gas, but let's do it anyway)". Johnny can't read because white is racist, gun crime is mostly black on black . .. caused by whitey. ... on and on ... simplistic/populist agitprop is leftist.

And how many of your will go the polls, chins firmly stuck out, to vote that the same policies and protections get extended to make that unsustainable state of affairs possible ?

Example: One of my clients sent me a ong email detailing how I am supposed to handle their sensitive data. OK fine, fair enough. But then I had to take an online course on how to do it. Then another one. Then a third one. Each one of these 30 minute classes saying the exact same thing which is basically don't share sensitive date with anyone.
And then I got another email after the 3rd one from some Security flunky reminding me to uhm, not share sensitive data with anyone, and here are some online classes on the subject.
It was like Office Space and TPS reports and that shit happens every day in every big company. They are basically too retarded to be evil.

Truly - yes, yes we are. We are going to stagnate for a bit.
We can't manage the tech we have. I install automation knowing they don't have the manpower or skill to keep it going. I'm not doing anything "cutting edge". But there was a time where running a milling machine well was "cutting edge".
The whole shit-storm about Health Care is just a bitch-fest about making modern miracles cheap. People would truly be happier - truly - seeing everyone die over a liver failure rather than some live and others don't.
The notion of Big Anything - Big Corporate, Big Government - somehow getting the right people to the right place at the right time doesn't work. The Gig Economy will - if you can do the right Gig. It's the best expression of Capitalism I've seen in my life.

In other words, it's unrealistic. "Democracy" requires skills that don't exist in the main in human beings. Thus "Democracy" is not realistic (because Evolution is the "Source of Truth").

Intel was founded by Fairchild Semiconductor engineers who'd had enough of Bill Shockley's crazy bullshit, and struck out on their own.
At the time, nobody thought it would work, and they were hated in the industry for their disloyalty to the Great Shockley.
Sometimes the upstart little firm becomes the 800lb. gorilla in the room.

Anybody think the good perfesser logged a few years in uniform himself? If so, can I see some hands? I don't see any hands.
What Bill Buckley said about the phone book applies here: "I'd rather be governed by the first 100 people in the phone book than by the faculty at Harvard."

Are you still on Twitter? I mean, as a contributor. I know that you monitor the cesspool but I also know you used to be a contributor. I'm asking because they banned me a long time ago for having a non-approved thought so I don't know what goes on there anymore.

I do a lot of work there. El Paso is blue already. Houston is weird - red and blue within city limits. Never been to Austin or Dallas. San Antonio is gone - they're pretty much affluent Mexico.
Rural is red. But they've got a strong Presbyterian streak. I don't really know how they'll go, in SHTF.

Trump is not Cruz and Cruz wasn't the president who turned the oil and gas sector loose.
I'm old enough to remember when the media said Hillary had a 10 point lead in Texas. It turned out ok.

Drive Uber. I did. Or do you want a gig that fulfills your social expectations?
Want a gig that pays, Uber is OK. Not great. Not bad. Fair for what it is.

Let's have a vote. Are we a republic or a democracy?

By the rules - republic. In application - a democracy. Hence lies the problem.

Huey Long was another dangerous populist. Back then, though the self proclaimed elites weren't just worthless blowhards, although they had managed to ruin the economy with their games in the Market Crash.

There's little hope for a return to sanity that fast. One corrupt and out of touch group may be disgrace and purged in 2020, but that still leaves the other. Neither side wants Gabbard, and neither side cares about the rank and file.

We're willowed as shit, but what Colorado Alex thinks is what I think.
Trump is going to win 2020. He just is. The Dems are going to throw their most viable socialist at him and lose.
The Dems will win 2024. There's no such thing as Trumpism, there's only Trump. Pence is not Trump. No one is. And the country always swings the pendulum.
So, a Dem is going to win 2024. Deal with it.
If Tulsi is prepositioning herself to repudiate the socialists and win the center I'm all for it.

In an politically gay sense not economic. By being a political butt boy those get economically rewarded by their tops.
