The people will BEG for a tyrant after chaos teaches them what liberty truly costs.

democracy never selects the best leader it always selects the best liar and that is why every democracy will fail democracy does not reward wisdom it rewards persuasion the man who understands reality loses to the man who can manipulate perception the honest lose to the charming the disciplined lose to the theatrical Plato said the heaviest penalty for declining to rule is to be ruled by someone inferior that is not moral advice it is a law of power when competence withdraws manipulation advances when truth is costly lies become efficient and when popularity determines authority deception becomes strategy democracy does not collapse from the outside it hollows itself out and when the lies finally rock the system the ending is predictable the people do not resist tyranny they beg for it
