“The only force necessary to completely disable the powers of a democracy is segregation. That is to say that the ability to divide the public along ideological lines so that they cannot successfully assemble forceful consensus with any reasonable degree of understanding or efficacy.

The most crucial element of this strategy is (mis)education. Where adequate education is lacking, the task of conversion from active democracy to segregated victims, to cash asset will proceed practically of its own accord.

And where it has been established, it remains relatively simple to co-opt it, especially where such education has neglected rhetoric, which is one of the fundamental forces in the political arena.

People who cannot understand their own language well enough to determine if some statement is true, might be true, cannot be true or is otherwise suspect… cannot reasonably be capable of establishing or sustaining a government in the image of their own goals and intelligence, precisely because they cannot form these.

They will thus become the fodder for the guns of domineering pirates, whose prey are not ships at sea, but whole nations or epochs of human life. And believe me, the pirates understand the rhetoric which they recursively re-direct back into the population with deadly accuracy and profound effect. In fact, -their- education was based on it.”
