Is democracy a cult?

Is democracy a cult? Ai, the new boy toy. Good for fake sexual and sensual experiences, used as a weapon against women. And used for strategy and weaponization in war. ManLove and ManWar, two peas in a pod. Technology driven by the same mad and ad men, like the first book coming off the Gutenberg printing press, the bible. In Asia, the first woodcut technology print was The Diamond Sutra, the Asian version of the bible, and thus spoke Zarathustra. Technology is a wonderful thing until the intellectual thugs discover how to beat your brains out, a modernized, democratized version of the good old fashioned club. Printing, they say, democratized the use of books but as we’ve seen, the printing press and now digital, electronic dissemination of information certainly “democratizes” information but does not democratize freedom of information. The powers that control democracy of all types are fascist in principle, that is, they give you the freedom they want you to have. You can only go so far down the road to true freedom before somebody or some thing stops you. The message is clear, stay in the mainstream herd, where information and belief may not keep you free but will keep you secure from fear. True knowledge is only garnered by transgressing fear of the unknown, but even that can be a Herculean task. What is freedom anyway? Freedom doesn’t have anything to do with hate, or ignorance, or power. Freedom isn’t doing whatever you want. It’s not about desire, either. It’s a sense of appreciation of the individual’s need and ability to act with the social, where most individuals live in the world. The social contract necessitates a certain number of conscious limitations or voluntary restraints on the individual in order for cooperation to produce what every individual needs. A social contract (call it work) is necessary, but cooperation is only truly effective if it is composed of individuals who are free to offer and provide their skills and services. The conditions under which individuals freely interact with their environment/society determines the success of every society, community, or nation. Of course, religions, storytelling, myths, and politics (that is, the policymaker's) all tell us freedom needs to be subjugated to the will of the social order, the principles that subjugate are established by the above mentioned anti-free institutions fostered by, once again, self-proclaimed “owners” of those institutions. The owners convince the freedom loving that in order for society to function properly they must give up their freedom (which they would most likely do anyway in order to survive) but only under the owner's directive, permanent, and unquestioned. Democracy is supposedly the owners giving back some of that lost freedom to the individual but the conditions of the democracy such as who gets elected to represent freedom loving individuals are selected beforehand. If the individual refuses to vote say, the individual does not get represented and those not represented are nearly always the majority. A nation which represents itself as a democracy is really a tightly controlled, institutionalized minority bound together by a wide range of illusionary principles, beliefs, and lies. The framers of the modern ideals of democracy and freedom merely represent a conglomerate of minority Views and do not represent the “all.” Democracy becomes a cult, or religion, rather than a universal ideal.
