Some modern leaders demonstrate a propensity for tenacity which is offset in a new dominion of ignorance by lack of reason. This realm seems to be gardened by a sort of plastic Lentulism, with aristocracy purchased by self serving bravado rather than the traditional authoritarian fare of coin.
This is of course is not to place within the realm of argument that non-authoritarian grandeur is obtained in this manner, it is to point out that a broad stretch of grey area exists in this League of Laertes, there are no anti-theticals, but simply new breeds of aristocratic-like personas.
What then would surface as a standard, identifiable notion of ascension and “rank?” Would it be safe to assume that, in this brave new superficial world, self governance by humility, civility and common sense would be the hallmark of our regnant recreant regents?
The answer of course, would be found in assessing the composition of the foundation of their façade: change and difference. This is the essential building block for the modern ideological leader to develop a personal -and this designation is important- sense of power and authority.
Many reasons exist for this condition, but mostly the concept of simply expressing ideas passes for sufficient in the minds of most men. It seems that a more elusive higher order of men would have the premise of their existence archived in strategic accomplishments rather than to allow possession of their ideals and contextualization of their deeds by the self appointed, aristocratic-like, leader genre.
Unfortunately, in a society that favors the gods of therapeutic self indulgence over responsibility, narcissistic gratification as a vector to collectivism and rewards incivility with attention and praise will find that this higher order of men, genus honestus, will rarely realize their threat to oppression and authoritarianism as they are often cannibalized by their own.
Before an enemy can be struck down, the aristocratic-like modern leader class will have ruined most avenues of success after engaging in a campaign of semantic contextualization to consolidate opinion, simply for their benefit.
Resolution is the enemy of the power hungry, despotic-lite, who seek to capitalize on the struggles of men. Tangible results are markers of success and identifiable avenues of eventual achievement, our pseudo-leaders require a constant struggle and an unachievable tangible goal to maintain their viability, so they tend to dwell in a hyper vigilant state of paranoia, perceiving anything that manifests itself as a substantial method of potential achievement a threat to their power.
Of course their power of perception is driven by the same broken thinking which drove them to a position of perpetual leadership, guiding good people towards emotionally satisfying, yet ineffectual goals.
We swim in the warm waters of the atrophy of common sense. In the United States (and Western Society) we have now only one identifiable trait- the constant production of new illiteracies.
Our new crop of leaders evolve from a 40+ year culture of replacing popular and common traditions, craftsmanship, civil responsibility and self reliance, with recondite, intentionally abstract, post-modern “knowledge” blocks.
This monopoly on information contextualization is administered by so-called experts, which creates the idea that individual achievement is beyond the means of the average person.
People are engineered to depend upon these “experts” so much so, that they feel they need to seek the authenticity of established and recognizable entities simply to act, learn or govern themselves. And what criteria exist to define expertise and who decides this?
In our society it is the media conglomerates, businesses, whose aims are to ensure that issues are presented in a manner which maintains viewership by putting a carrot on the end of a stick. These are the exact same traits and methodologies of our new aristocratic-like leader class.
People follow these leaders for the same reasons they constantly tune into news personalities for their fix of non-resolution.
These leaders operate in the current power structure by mimicking the standards that already exist, practicing the techniques already in play and gain prestige and power by simply branding themselves as purveyors of change. Standards and empirical benchmarks do not exist in this world as they are items of direction which ultimately lead to resolution.
The general “de rigeur” of most folk has no way of telling that it is falling off a cliff, and so as acceptable standards rapidly decline the average person cannot perceive this downward spiral as the canonical of their condition, which is of course intentionally provided for them by their new leaders, to which they have become dependent for their “expert” guidance.
This is the current tragic paradigm of Western Civilization, continual authoritarian enslavement which devours any resistance by ensuring that most leaders of said resistance have only the toolset of non-resolution at their disposal.
In truth, the authoritarian sees polarized interpretation as simply the most manageable brand structure and endeavors to control the expression of both “arguments” to issues they create and deliver thru their media systems.
The new leaders rise to the top not by achievement, but because they have become zealots for a particular brand of argument and either demonstrated that they have a tangible marketing group that fits within the controllable limits of the accepted canonical or by simply taking possession of the true achievements of other organizations.
The modern leader has simply become the leader of a franchise, which calls upon patriotism and loyalty for their colloquial branding value and not their orthodoxical purpose, and denies true achievement with the ambition to obtain dominant shares of the marketplace of expressions on “issues.”
This new leadership franchise could care less about truthful victory and truthful winning or losing, but more simply about whether it stays in business. So what then will make a successful leader?
With such tremendous opposition and institutional foundation working against the emergence of a real leader, most definitely within the given paradigm, propagation of our current demise would seem inevitable.
Yet the answer is quite simple! A new leader simply would act, without the need of followers, for the creation of a tangible victory that changes the current course of events in favor of, in the cause of Liberty, the restoration of the Constitution.
It is not sufficient to plug holes in a dike; a true leader must take actions that do not comply with the authoritarian approved norms of behavioral branding.
This leader must fight problems at their source and never look for consolation in anything other than himself, governed by their ideology and in our case the restoration Constitution.
The anti-Liberty authoritarian system provides semantics and slander, used by the aristocratic-like “new” leader types as well, to govern and control their populations and members, consolidate power and provide for the continuance of a struggle they hope never ends.
It is important for the true patriot to realize that suffering, caused by slanders, betrayal and misrepresentation isn’t real. The very minute one comes to a realization that their feeling of suffering for taking opposition to collectivism (or other oppressive forces for that matter) is simply a means of control, they have achieved the needed transcendence to operate free of authoritarian governance, then with clear conscious can begin to make tangible, truthful strides towards a path to resolution.
With a concrete action in place that has changed the course of current events in favor of Liberty, only then could one be a leader of men. A man who has not endeavored to create this building block, but is desirous of position of authority and takes actions to react to problems but not solve them at their source, can be most definitely defined as one of the new aristocratic-like pseudo leaders.
Again the supreme quality of a true Patriotic Leader is to deny the meaning given to suffering by the authoritarian collectivist system. Without this trait a potential leader is sure to be the manager of a branded franchise of expression.
The only true expert is the individual self and the only true leader is an individual who has, with or without the help of others, achieved a tangible victory for liberty which alters the current course of authoritarian collectivism.
When a true leader speaks you will know it as they will speak of resolution and not maintenance by pseudo vigilance.
