The Rapid Onset Ruling-Class Disorder Crisis
American Thinker ^ | 28 Jun, 2022 | Christopher Chantrill

Whenever you politicize an issue, it becomes Us vs. Them; people who disagree with you become your enemies.

Hey ruling class! How yer doin', pal? Do you feel, after a black man dared to reaffirm the Second Amendment and Roe v. Wade got overturned, that the world is spinning out of control?

I think you may want to consult a mental-health expert and ask xir about Rapid Onset Ruling-Class Disorder (RORD). Experts agree that RORD is commonly found among the high-status supporters of a ruling class confronted by unexpected lack of respect from uppity black men. It is also associated with a ruling class headed for the exits, as in Louis XVI and Mikhail Gorbachev.

Seriously though. Are you rulers willing to listen to a bit of feedback, for once in your conceited lives? In his Ruling Class Gaetano Mosca stated a century ago that a wise ruling class is always promoting likely young men from a lower class, because wise rulers always want to know what they are thinking down on the farm before they get to see gay Paree.

Here's the problem, made real simple. It is the idea of top-down governance, where everything in society gets decided politically by an educated progressive class. La Wik:

[Progressive Era] Reformers felt that old-fashioned ways meant waste and inefficiency, and eagerly sought out the "one best system".

Hello Roe v. Wade, where the Supreme Court gussied up a one best system, because seven educated white male experts knew what was best for America.

The last century or two is littered with "one best systems" directed from above: Marx and his communism, the Fabians and their socialism, the Progressives and their experts, LBJ and his Great Society, Fauci and his COVID.

Some "democratic republic."

We literally don't even know who is calling the shots, who is in charge.

It's a complete farce, and we're the rubes, the marks.

Our managerial elite have become despots. But they think that’s OK because they see themselves as enlightened despots. They have a good deal and they think anything which threatens their situation is a threat to “our democracy”. And when they say “our democracy” they just mean enlightened despotism with them at the top.

But the Bastille will be stormed.

Since the USA is supposed to be a republic then any “threat” to democracy is a good thing.

True enough.

But it’s the “our” part which is most worrisome to me. I see it like the Mafia — the Cosa Nostra (”Our Thing”). It’s not your thing. It’s their thing. Regular people don’t matter. Regular people are suckers. The crooks only care about Our Thing. Nancy Pelosi is focused on “Our Democracy” because she hates the republic that the Founders gave us and which is government by We The People.

The Bastille was in fact stormed on January 6. The ruling despots not only put it down but have destroyed the freedom to ever have it done again.

One wonders why Americans still believe elections will solve the perpetual leftist societal plague

“Clearly as a nation we are Satan’s bitches now.”

Only if you choose to be. I’m not rolling over.
