He is the living symbol of the death of democracy. A free society can support a surprisingly high number of stupid people in important positions. It can at the same time support a similarly high number of evil people. What causes collapse is when people are both stupid AND evil.

This is the phenomenon I describe as #thickcuntocracy. Prominent positions in journalism (a vital component of a free society) and politics are captured by people who not only do active harm in those positions, but undermine the credibility of the institutional foundations.
No-one comes away from watching Dan Wootton thinking that OpEd and broadcast journalism are in a healthy state. So they might begin to turn away from credible sources of news media as well. And so the stupid and the evil corrode our society.
It’s a self-reinforcing exponential spiral, which is why things are so much worse and became so much worse so quickly since Brexit, the ultimate moment of triumph for the thick cunts. Thickcuntocracy has destroyed the Home Office, for example.
Suella Braverman represents a decline from Priti Patel (May and Rudd etc.) in that Patel’s Home Office was malign in its approach to immigration: (hostile environment, Windrush, etc.) but Braverman‘a goes one step further: it adds stupidity in following policies …,
… that cannot be anything other than counter-productive and failures on their own terms. And this doesn’t matter to her, because her entire political project has nothing to do with good government or public policy success; it begins and ends with culture war.
And that is why living in the thickcuntocracy is truly Kafkaesque. The state as machine lacking heart or brain; and so ultimately destroying both in the human beings fed into it to become components in a machine for human misery.
