Order Jamie Glazov’s new book, ‘United in Hate: The Left’s Romance with Tyranny, Terror, and Hamas’: HERE.
In this powerful and haunting dystopian short film, The Iris Echo, produced by Mark Sutherland, we see a government broadcaster in a ruthless totalitarian state who begins to question the propaganda she is forced to spread to the public. And step by step, we begin to see the planting of the first seeds of rebellion.
The film was nominated for Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction at the 2018 Seattle International Film Festival.
Don’t miss it!
I think there must be a tendency for governments to, if not sail, then drift into becoming all-powerful, nondemocratic states.
You are right. Democracies are bad because the majority of people are unfit to rule or make important decisions touching national welfare. Our nature desires something like a good king, but kings are human and often not good or good enough.
But we must have government, being that we are not angels. We are supposedly a nation of laws, and not of men. Lex Rex is an excellent start if one has no king — something we tried in the U.S. The question becomes what law will be king? It cannot be something like reason, because men differ as to what is “reasonable.” It must be an external, unchanging standard. Anglo-Protestant Christianity produced the best nation the earth has ever known. We must return to it or go the way you so simply and powerfully state — a “nondemocratic” state. In other words, something like a king or group of ruling elites.
Which is exactly what is happening. Even if we break up into ethnostates, you will still be correct because each of those will have something like a king (ethnarch?), answering to something like an emperor.
Excellent video, it needs to be sent to Iran & translated into Farsi.
Totalitarianism & Islam do not give you freedom to choose, they love to control you like a slave.
It is also depressing how many ordinary people in a country are willing to work for a totalitarian government apparatus, which includes gratuitous inflicting of pain and hurt on ordinary citizens.
