British & American "representative democracy" is a farce, a stitch-up which ensures government of, by & for the elites, especially in academia, which perpetuates the lie of government of, by & for the people.

The state has always facilitated society's self-exploitation.

I'm not a history buff, but many historical truths are denied or twisted by western academics, as they are in authoritarian regimes. America didn't go to war against a tyrannical British king, but against the British parliament, which continues to abuse its power.

America's founding fathers knew that forming a single nation from different European peoples of the same race would be difficult enough, & thus, in the 1790 Naturalisation Act restricted citizenship to Whites.

And so it has proven. America never became a genuine nation -

Just a bigger, more powerful, clone of Great Britain: a mercenary #PatronState deceitfully posing as a nation, in order to legitimise itself, its ruling elites & the immense power they wield & abuse. an Orwellian construct of lies, deceit & a regime of rewards & intimidation.

However, I do not wish to trash western democracy entirely. Despite its dire failings, it's a lot better than no democracy at all. In many countries I wouldn't be able to tweet what I have here, without serious repercusions.

I value my freedoms highly, but they are not enough.

I want genuine, grassroots, democracy, in which I am free to chose my nation, instead of having pseudo-nationhood imposed on me by the British state.

This is also the only way we can avoid committing #CivilisationalSuicide, as we are currently doing.

The Nazis manipulated & abused German tribalism for their own evil purposes, in misconceived, #NeverAgain, response to which Western academia, strongly influenced by traumatised Jews, demonised human tribalism itself, which was weaponised by #BigBrother state & his minions.

Notwithstanding its demonisation, along with human prejudices, as a modern secular replacement for #OriginalSin, human tribalism continues to be manipulated & exploited by ALL states, when they pose as nations. This is how THEY rule us!

What do I mean by THEY?

I mean the Matrix of state (BigBro) & capital, to which we are ALL enslaved, rich & poor, Black & White, alike.

I know, this all sounds a bit fanciful, but it is a good analogy & a great help in understanding socio-political reality, which social & political scientists paint a totally distorted picture of, one which serves their own, narrow & short-sighted self-interests.
