Rereading The Illuminatus! Trilogy I found a line in there that I have fallen in love with.
“There are great truths and there are lesser truths. The opposite of a lesser truth is false, but the opposite of a great truth is also true.”
So when you say, “Democracy!” about this cockamamie malarkey, I now infer that you are proclaiming a Great Truth. On the one had, there’s votes and counting and stuff and so it is a democracy, on the other hand, there’s so much falsehood and deception and undemocratic institutions layering their influence there’s nothing democratic about it, and on the third hand, OG Athens 300 BC Greek Golden Ages style democracy, where only 40 year old adult male slaveholders get to vote, this is definitely a True Democratic election.
