- The people who say "our democracy" usually don't know what they are talking about. As it turns out, when they say "our democracy" they don't mean yours. This is more true the higher up you go in social status. The irony is the biggest danger to "our democracy" is something else entirely. So in this video I examine the related muh democracy spergout caused by Elon Musks Twitter deal.

"Our Democracy"

"Democracy is the best system" mfs when the people vote for someone they don't like.
"Voting against my ideas is a threat to my democracy" - What they would say if they were being honest.
@@MentisWave muh democracy!
"Muh candiate loses 5%, that's it, done finito, democracy is gone"
"Muh candiate gains 15%, yay, democracy is the best system, wooohooo"
Literally all of the lefties in Argentina lmao
@@bakixavirists4561muh democracy
saying "our democracy" is slowly replacing "the greater good" as the single fastest way to make me never trust anything you say lol
It IS basically the same thing, you're right!
Mao used the "democracy" thing too
Took the words from my mouth
Or "Think of the children"
It's all emotional manipulation.
@@giornogiovanna845and that is why I have decided to move away from emotion altogether.
Whenever I hear the words “Our Democracy”, I hear “the Oligarchy”.
I hear The Greater Good.
I hear “Our power”
This guy: he gets it. "Democracy" is just a fancy word for "mob rule," and mob rule always leads to tyranny. THAT'S what they really mean when they say "tHiS iS a tHrEaT tO oUr dEmOcRaCy;" what they're actually saying is "this is a threat to our aspiring collectivist dictatorship."
them: *but our democracy!*
me: *good*
Democracy is cringe, and gay, and the ultimate wolf in sheep's clothing.
This is something I noticed quite a while ago, and I've been telling people ever since. It's a really subtle thing that most people don't notice. "Our democracy" isn't about "democracy" at all. It's about "my personal ethics".
I honestly think they have that mindset because of two reasons. One, believing that they are the only morally correct people. Two, they believe themselves to be a firm majority of the population.
that's why i don't even pretend to care about democracy
Bingo. It's similar to those who say "_*MY*_ truth". Even notice that whenever these people mentioned "our", or "my" whenever they talking about specific political things, there's always a hint of ulterior motives behind them?
the funniest part about them whining about Elon letting Trump back on is that Trump to this day still hasn't made one tweet since.
He wants Truth Social to succeed, and is contractually obligated besides to not post anything on twitter that hasn't been posted on truth for at least 6 hours.
@@Xahnel 6 hours, 6 months, now about a year, these are all the same lengths of time.
The first American President to call America a democracy was Woodrow Wilson. That tells you everything you need to know about the term Democracy.
Anyone remember when we were a republic with due process, not a censorious democratic oligarchy?
1) Great video!
2) It's no different than the people who claimed to care about "public health" or "the greater good" during the coof charade. They cared about themselves and nothing else.
3) I was not aware that there were Touhou NES ports. I need to investigate this at once!
It's a fan made "demake" port of Touhou 7, it just so happens to be extremely well done to the point where it's better than most commercial NES games.
@TheGameDisplay you misspelled "public."
@@DmitriLeon2000 Much obliged. Of all typos to make. XD
This sounds like a way to cope with you not caring about the greater good, if they don’t actually care then you don’t have to feel bad about not caring either. Believe it or not some people do care about others
@@anthonytitone I don't care about greater good, there IS NO. greater good, only people who THINK they are acting in greater good. Notable examples include Adolf, Stalin, Mao, Kim, US government... All these people were/are acting "for greater good". The "greater good" is the worst part of utilitarian philosophy, because humans aren't omnipotent gods that know what's good for everyone, humans only know what's good for them, in some cases what's good for their close friends and family, but never the general populace.
That's putting "da mock" in "democracy."
When you’re so accustomed to privilege equality feels like oppression

-I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my democracy!
-Your democracy?
Anybody with a speck of an idea on how large groups function should cringe at the mention of the word "democracy". I'm more inclined to believe the Orwell's Oligarchical Collectivism at this point. It has better descriptive value for the two words it spends.
Oligarchical Collectivism at least has the birthrates to continue the system. I also would have hope that the proles or internal conflicts of the party would sooner or later dismantle the system. Its oppresion, inadequacy and cruelty are to obvious. Doublethink already contains the seed of revolt. In a sense the Dystopia of reality is worse than Oceania. Information control is much more subtle and effective than Orwell could have ever imagined. The telescreen is not needed. We take our smartphones everywhere we go.
It'd be great to see a video on the "paradox of tolerance" argument, which often comes up in these discussions as well.
Never trust anyone who claims ownership of abstract concepts.
The simultaneous freaking out about the opening back up of twitter and denial that it’s censorious is what really gets me
“Our Democracy!”
Random chad with a bullhorn walking by: “Read Aristotle! Democracy is cringe!”
Would've been funny if the talk sprites were fumos
I use your videos as something to listen to when I play Touhou games.
It’s the old “rugged individualism for me, socialism for thee.” Like those naive Twitter threads where they talk about what they want to do after their revolution. Most of those things is stuff they can already do are too lazy like “I want to teach a class on indigenous lesbian dance theory”.
They believe the side they don’t like is pure evil, thus they’re in a holy war.
Tbh the usage of “our” is kinda smart
They portray it as you+them when it’s really just theirs, but “our” can used for both
coming back to this after Harris's first campaign ad on youtube
"our democracy" kek
Hoppe is 100% correct that Democracy is the worst sytem. Every major collectivist regime in history came from some form of Democracy whether is be voting, the collective taking the direct action themselves against anyone who disagreed, etc. Even a "Representative Republic" is still trash as it's basically just Democracy with extra steps. All it does is slow down the collective tyranny which while yes is better than direct democracy, doesn't even attempt to stop it from happening in the end. It's like how Fascism is just Communism with some semblance of a market. Still ends up in a totalitarian regime over time, just not as quickly since the few market aspects slow down its destruction.
So when anyone claims something is a "threat to Democracy", all I have to say is, GOOD!
So you’re saying we should skip the bs and go straight to totalitarianism?
@@anthonytitone Are you saying totalitarianism is when not democracy?
@@Aneko101 when people say democracy is at risk they mean totalitarianism, if you believe them and you say good then you’re supporting that, the fall of democracy wouldn’t bring about anarchism or anything like that
@@anthonytitone I'm saying good because I don't believe them and am calling them on their bs. As democracy is nothing more than totalitarianism of the hedonistic mob or whoever is representative of said mob.
Democracy directly leads to socialism. Politican promises "protection"/"help", they eventually win, this creates irresponsible people that are dependent on those politician choices, then those people have children, those children now don't even think those chocies could be any different, and then another politician comes around... And repeat.
People nowadays think the world would crumble if we didn't have laws and regulations that didn't exist even as recent as 20 years ago. Socialism is the end goal of democracy, because democracy creates irresponsible people (in some countries the process is faster, in some it's slower) and irresponsible people are needed for Socialist ideology.

It is a good thing. The bad thing about it is the invented right to vote that didn’t exist before the 1900s because voting is supposed to be a responsibility, not something that anybody and everybody should do. There use to be things that you were required to do in order to vote but that’s largely been stripped away now.
It's still a bad thing as Democracy is little more than a hedonistic lynch mob that doesn't care if their goal goes against the rights and wills of the individual. I will fully agree however that universal suffrage made it that much worse due to the types of even more hedonistic, entitled people being given such power.
This is why some people found the regime in Starship Troopers to be based even though the writer intended it to be satire. Service guarantees citizenship (vote).
@@NuclearFalcon146I'm pretty sure Heinlein didn't intend for it to be satire
@@zarki-games Whether it was intended as satire or not has no bearing on the merit of the idea.
What ever happened to plain old democracy? I'm tired of this Our Democracy™ bullshit
Certified hood classic
As always, very good, well researched video
Notice how these people never list liberty or freedom as vital to protect.
Because Liberty and Freedom are words that mean "Give any uneducated schmuck the power to make decisions for himself, even when it is not good for him."
7:51 people always project from themselves on others
they are afraid of Elon doing that because thats exactly what they would do (and have done) in his position
9:40 Something to be mindful of in this situation is to not call such a person stupid. They may be in denial or delusional, or just selfish. If the motivation for you to believe something is strong enough, that can corrupt your thinking. Heck, it can be as simple as “my dad was a capitalist that emphasized the value of hard work, but he was a major asshole to me growing up ”
The way they talk about whatever warped version of democracy is funning through their head makes you wonder, do they think America wasn’t a democracy until 10-20 years ago? Is it just defined by whenever what they want happens?
“Our” democracy puts the emphasis on them, the politicians, the government.
Hate speach=speach we hate
I rather enjoy this channel
And I enjoy making these videos.
they want equality for me but not for you
Woah, old school Touhous
"Our Democracy" (TM) (LLC)
We need to install a one-party system to save democracy!
Thing is, we’re not a democracy. At least we’re not supposed to be. We were intended to be a federal republic.
By definition, a republic is a representative form of government that is ruled according to a charter, or constitution, and a democracy is a government that is ruled according to the will of the majority.
5:02, Let's go I love ⑨
We are a REPUBLIC
Keep up these awesome pro grade videos man
I kind of like the idea of self moderation, but it can lead to echo chambers. I guess its better for people to put themselves in bubbles than moderators... but I worry that people who could be turned will never interact with people of the other side. I feel conflicted on this. I know its impossible to create a perfect system and this is next best... but we can't move forward if half the country refuses to listen to truth. While some people will never listen, its hard to win a ideological war when one side is taught to close their ears and ignore any form of ideological scrutiny and then enable them to bubble themselves even more so.
Watching this touhou gameplay on the side is like subway surfers to a toddler

When the authoritarians say "Our Democracy", they are being correct. Democracy means Demo (People, Roman) and Cracy (Power, Greek). The People are in power. But the "People" have two different definitions. The People could be the individual people in a given land. Or it could mean the State. When the CCP says People's Republic of China, that's what they mean. When district attorneys say "The People rest, your honor", that's also what they mean. The "People" is the State. And in this case, "Democracy" means the State being the government. So, Our Democracy means "Our position in power". So, if they say "Our Democracy is being threatened, it really means *"Our authority over you is being threatened."*
"Our Democracy" more like "The political class"
Didn't Mao talk about "our demoracy" too? Or he said more something like the peoples demoracy.
There was an FBI agent f4om the 1950s/1960s who described how "A Democracy always leads to tyranny and dictatorship while a Constitutional republic leads to freedom and patriotism".
Wouldnt surprise me if every single tyrannical despot said "My Democracy" or some other manner of that verbiage.
5:16 You are using "cognitive dissonance" incorrectly here. Cognitive dissonance is the uncomfortable feeling someone has when he tries to hold two contradicting beliefs in his head at the same time. People immediately act on cognitive dissonance to make it go away, because, like pain, cognitive dissonance is unpleasant. When someone experiences cognitive dissonance, he either stops believing in one (or both) idea(s), or else he compartmentalizes as a psychological coping mechanism. There is no ongoing cognitive dissonance in the mind of a person who believes contrary things, because those ideas exist in separate boxes that, in his mind, do not ever touch.
Question:Limited/Subsidiary government, Minarchist, Anarchist or other option?
Definitely Anarchy. "Democracy, the God that Failed" that he showed in the video is a great explanation why. Essentially just abolish all monopolies and have Natural Law in its absolute state instead of... a state. lol

As a monarchist hearing people whine about "muh democracy" is always so funny to me.
I personally favor representative Republic but monarchy is based as well because it's the second most effective system after republicanism for most of human history we had monarchys and they performed excellently tons of times ex. Mongol empire roman empire early qing dynasty Victorian era Britain Napoleonic France German empire etc.
haha funny fumo
By democracy they mean consensus
I would argue they mean their ability to gerrymander the democratic processes of the republic.
In other words, if they lose control of the narrative they will not be able to gas light the public into believing whatever crazy thing they have cooked up.
Dude. Stop covering the scores
Muh freedom
Yes and they also don’t mean your Americans when they say that’s not the direction Americans want.
5:40
The solution to speech censoring is educations, not educations of what to think, rather how to think. You don't need to censor speech if you teach people critical thinking. You only need to censor speech when you want to control what people think. Freedom of speech goes hand in hand with freedom of thought.
I just cringe everything I hear "our democracy". Please bring back civics as a mandatory class, the USA is not a democracy. We are a constitutional republic. Republic means representative government. We elect representatives who are in turn supposed to represent our interests in government.
The house in particular is meant to be the closest to the people, thus why they have the shortest terms. The courts are meant to be disconnected from politics, thus why they are lifetime appointments.
yup

15:09 literally all laws r subjective, I don’t understand why ur saying lefties shouldn’t debate what counts as hate speech while I’m sure your ok with debates on what the speed limit should be “but the speed limit is subjective we can’t set an objectively perfect speed limit so why bother at all” lol
speed limits are evil
hate speech is a subjective thing that has changed overtime lol and can be changed with anyone whether that be "i dont like donald trump" or "i dont like mexican food", and speed limit is what the state decides whats a responsible limit for cars to go at a safe speed for a responsible driver. its clear your pretty uneducated on this and are trying to use a false equivilency falacy lmao
The objective best speed limit is “as fast as you can without breaking ur car” the goal is to get point a to b, if speed wasn’t the determining factor u would just walk.
So yea it’s a really pointless conversation lol
The difference with hate speech is that it can be used politically pretty easily. Shitty speed limits can be annoying, like if you could only go 30 mph on major highways, but at least they apply to everyone equally and pretty much can’t be used for one side of the political spectrum against the other. Hate speech is basically the inverse of something like laws against degeneracy, like outlawing gay sex and whatnot.
Take a second to think about how a hate speech law would look. It would have to leave a lot of room open for interpretation because you can’t just list out every example of hate speech. That gives a lot of leeway for the government to decide what is and isn’t acceptable speech, and let’s say you’re someone who is against giving reparations or something and the government decides that’s hate speech because it affects African Americans. That’s probably not the best example but that’s the kind of thing that people worry about when it comes to hate speech. It’s basically just a tool to silence people given to the government which is the exact thing the first amendment was created to prevent

calling Twitter users a leftist is like calling Hitler an Anarchist.

@@Aneko101 So radical collectivists (which includes Hitler) aren't leftists somehow even though they fit the (actual) definition of leftist?
- Nobody ever said leftist mean collectivist...this isn't USA political chart.
@@yukitakaoni007 "USA political chart" Yes I agree it's BS as it thinks two parties of market socialism are somehow total opposites lol. It mentions nothing about individualism or collectivism.
The entire point of right wing and left wing is that the right is about upholding natural law/order including the natural hierarchies that come with it. This inherently it what creates individual liberty and Voluntarism since it fully respects property rights starting with self ownership.
The left wing is about denying the natural order in favor some form of egalitarianism or any form of universal "greater good" through artificial hierarchies by force, or attempting to abolish all hierarchies... which of course in itself requires artificial hierarchies to enforce and maintain so it's really just a contradiction. This of course results in any form of collectivism whether it be absolute centrally planned Communism, or forms of Market Socialism to uphold some "greater good" by allowing some form of personal property or flat out lying by calling it "private property" in the case of Natsocs and Fascists/Natsyns, unless the state/collective deems it to not be in favor of them in which case they forcibly remove the property from you. All of these have some collectivist "greater good" goal that completely denies our inherent Natural Rights.
@@Aneko101 how can you believe in natural hierarchies while also being a anarchist? This is a complete contradiction
@@Artemis28247 And how is it a contradiction? Natural hierarchies are those such as parent/child relationships and employer/employee relationships. Not to mention hierarchies such at some people being more skilled at certain things than others. Hierarchy is inherent to human nature.
Unnatural hierarchies however, are those brought about by illegitimate force aka statism and is nothing more than people disrupting the natural order by trying to act as if they are above the rest of humanity and essentially playing God.

Electoral college is not a good system for choosing the best people, i dont know about you but giving that much power to a bunch of farmers doesnt sound right to me.
