To dissolve, submerge, and cause to disappear the political or governmental system in the economic system by reducing, simplifying, decentralizing and suppressing, one after another, all the wheels of this great machine, which is called the Government or the State. --Proudhon, General Idea of the Revolution
Excellent article. Kudos to you for wading through that sewer. Is there a term for people in positions of privilege like cops, prosecutors, and religious people claiming to be victims? The Germans might have a word for it, because as someone wiser than I once said, "those Germans have a word for everything."
Especially when people in positions of privilege claim to be victims, and then out the other side of their mouths complain about the "cult of victimhood."

ReplyDeleteI believe the German word is chutzpah.
