Democracy: Now With 97% Less Majority Rule
Because who needs the will of the people when you have “equity” consultants?
It’s 2025, and democracy has evolved. Not into something fairer, freer, or more representative - no, we’ve upgraded to a premium model where the minority calls the shots, the majority pays the bill, and “equity” consultants explain why you should thank them for it.
Forget one person, one vote. These days, it’s one person, one identity card, and bonus privileges if you tick the right boxes. The rules aren’t gone - they’re just optional. But only for some.
When we hear “anarchy,” we picture chaos: no rules, no structure, a lawless wasteland. The dictionary calls it a state of society without government or law. Political and social disorder due to the absence of control.
But the truth is, we’re already living in a stranger place ... a shadow world between anarchy and governance. Rules exist, but only for those who follow them. For everyone else, it’s open season.
In theory, governments hold power on behalf of their citizens. In practice, they act as if we are their subjects. They’ve forgotten they are our elected representatives.
Selective governance is thriving, marketed as “progress” or “multiculturalism.” Look at Britain. Look at Australia. Look at some parts of America. Laws are enforced unevenly, and always in the name of some noble-sounding cause.
Minority rule is everywhere. We’re no longer democracies if the majority is punished for refusing to comply with the demands of a politically protected minority. Three percent of the population can now dictate the rules for the other ninety-seven.
Want to wear a neon tutu with combat boots? No problem. Today you’re a boy, tomorrow a girl? All good. Prefer to be a cat? Demand a litterbox in your classroom and you’ll be good to go, literally.
Meanwhile, in parts of the U.S., you can fill a bag with goods worth under $950 and stroll out without consequence. In San Francisco, prosecutions for retail theft dropped 50% between 2019 and 2022 after penalties were reduced. In Australia, you can steal a car and run wild through a shopping centre...provided you tick the right demographic boxes.
Yet heaven help the ordinary person who dares say “enough” when children are murdered or raped. That’s when the law swings into action...against them. Victims are arrested, perpetrators walk free.
If this were true anarchy, nothing would be illegal. At least the rules would be consistent; there wouldn’t be any. But under selective governance, the rules exist purely to target those who don’t toe the party line.
Anarchy might sound tempting - no institutional overreach, no selective enforcement, no thought-policing - but power vacuums don’t stay empty for long. History shows they’re quickly filled by the strong, the ruthless, or the well-armed. That’s how you get warlords and mobs, not utopias.
Rural communities might fare better, electing some sort of pseudo private security force, forming watch groups, and defending their own. Cities would spiral into chaos - supply chains would collapse, resources would dwindle, and survival would favour the brutal.
But hasn't that already happened?
And within a few years? Laws would be written again. Leaders chosen. The cycle would restart.
The real problem isn’t the existence of government... it’s governments without accountability. We don’t need no system; we need one that’s transparent, consistent, and applies the law to everyone, without exceptions or politically favoured classes.
The answer might be smaller, localized governance - communities setting their own rules, electing representatives who answer directly to them. Think Swiss-style direct democracy or even blockchain-based civic systems. But vigilance is key, or the same elite-driven mess will grow back.
The choice isn’t between anarchy and selective governance: it’s between a rigged game and one where everyone plays by the same rules.
Because without that, there’s only one destination left: riots, disorder, and revolution.
