PRE FACTUM.
The written flow on Facebook is pushing each status further down. That’s why I decided to repost some texts that I hold dear, with added reflections and clarifications...
The status I am reposting here is about the dramatic, almost catastrophic choice facing the USA today:
The existence of the USA and Trump’s presidency are absolutely incompatible!
In fact, it all comes down to this: Can democracy defend itself from those who destroy it by using its formal rules and taking advantage of its democratic nature?
For many years after the inevitable end of totalitarian socialism, democracy, liberal democracy, lived with the consciousness and intoxication of its final triumph. That it is the path and the goal for the entire world.
There arose a sense of a very liberal and extremely democratic, almost toothless, endlessly meek and delicately soft democracy — hyper-democratic, pampered, soft, and fluffy.
Once, when we were playing in the yard in front of our block with small goals, a boy from the neighboring block would aggressively kick us and always shout: “This is football, not ballet!”
One day, our neighbor Metodi kicked him hard in the legs, and he curled up and turned pale, but Metodi said: “This is football, not ballet!”
And that softened him.
Yes, democracy must say: “This is a fight for the preservation of democracy, not ballet!”
Democracy cannot be toothless, meek, soft, and fluffy...
...
Lyrical digression:
As a formal procedure, democracy is based on a very simple rule:
The right are those who are more!
Those who are more determine who will govern, by what rules (laws) they will govern, what is appropriate and good for the state. But since ancient times and even now, the majority has never been the subject (it has always been primarily the object) of progress.
Truth has never been born in the minds of the majority, the majority has never been the first to go to the barricades and sacrifice their lives, freedom, well-being (and careers) to win the Truth.
This has always been the work of a Minority, most often a handful of people, a handful of crazy minds, who dared to “stir the empire,” to look forward, to seek Change, to show others the Path to salvation, to the better or the right decision. They were crucified, burned at the stake, decapitated on the block and by the guillotine, but in the end, the majority was convinced that they were right and accepted their ideas.
Aware of its weaknesses, which can easily turn into a danger to society in its degeneration into a formal procedure, Democracy introduced at least four additional conditions for its optimization:
1. Those who are right, i.e., those who are more, should be as many as possible;
2. Those who are right, i.e., those who are more, should express their opinion as informed as possible;
3. Those who are right, i.e., those who are more, should respect and listen to the opinion of those who are fewer and incorporate into their decisions what is useful for the whole society;
4. Those who are right, i.e., those who are more, should isolate, not allow, limit, and even ban extreme, extremist, destructive, misanthropic, racist, and other dangerous ideologies, movements, parties, and ambitions (Bolshevisms, Nazisms, Fascisms, Rashisms, etc.).
Only by observing these four additional conditions can Democracy successfully defend itself, consolidate, self-optimize, and help development and social cohesion (solidarity, unity, cohesion).
...
Today, democracy faces dangerous enemies who use it as a formal procedure and exploit its democratic nature to destroy it.
Democracy must be able to defend itself, and it must defend itself.
Democracy must — when necessary for its survival — show sharp teeth and an unwavering instinct for self-preservation.
Otherwise, it will be destroyed.
This is a fight for the preservation of democracy, not ballet!
Today is a time for either-or.
A time to defend democracy and self-defend democracy.
But now let me finally move on to the text I want to publish again.
EITHER THE USA OR TRUMP!
For me, it’s an absolute fact that Trump is not the disease of the USA, but its most repulsive and disgusting symptom.
Trump is an ugly boil that has burst on the face of the USA. The disease is deep within the body of the USA.
The moral, ethical, and mental decline of American society, which elected a pathological liar, a ruthless cynic, an incurable narcissist, and a dim-witted imbecile as president, is colossal. To put a disgusting fraudster, a man who went bankrupt six times, on top of your beautiful democratic country, is so unacceptable and so unforgivable!
A shocking crime against a once-great nation — primarily against its own state, turning it into a laughingstock with nuclear missiles…
But!
But there is one terrible, terrifying But!
But Trump is becoming a dangerous tool in the hands of the dark forces who are using him for their catastrophic goals!
Trump is bringing into power a gang of simpletons and ruffians, uncivilized freaks, and raging monsters.
It is now increasingly dangerous for the USA, for glorious and shining America, for the beacon and crusader state of democracy, for the City on the Hill, which once had the eyes of normal and reasonable people, of suffering and unfortunate people, of those groaning under dictatorial oppression, of societies turning to God and Justice.
And I, for myself, am increasingly raising the probability that Trump will be physically removed, I see the growing possibility that Trump will be removed as the USA has done with some of its presidents — some of them monstrously wrongly! Even not only Trump. But also part of his gang.
Yes, I now increasingly believe this with certainty. This is not the outcome I predicted months ago when I prophetically said that American society, with great force and inevitable choice, would confront the Dilemma of the very existence of the USA:
EITHER THE USA OR TRUMP!
There is no alternative. And there cannot be...
