Theology of Progress: Can Six Years Olds Participate in the Divine Life of Democracy?
Cambridge political scientist claims that six years olds should be granted the right to vote and The Guardian journalist steps in to qualify what he means. An ample opportunity for us on KT to illustrate what we mean when we differentiate between democracy understood as politeia and democracy revered as God. In tow we bring much more, of course: totalitarian mindset and fluffy rhetoric, doubtful quality of higher learning, children psychology, obsession about population reduction as the mainstay of ruling European ideology and other worthwhile points. All this to point out how with Kali Tribune even reading The Guardian column can be a rewarding experience.

As a former Polish education minister said in an interview for a Romanian newspaper (I don’t remember the name and I can;t find the interview anymore): this progressive thinking is practically communism 2.0 in the sense that, just like communism, it seeks to make every single aspect of life- including the most intimate- political.
It is the scum of all ideology, seeking to annihilate everything concrete, real and natural for the sake of ideological abstraction. The turning of everything which is interior into exterior or the bringing of the center to the periphery.
I do not exaggerate when I say that it is the spirit of the antichrist.
As a side note: the toxic garbage in your area was almost certainly done as part of the deal with the Italian mafia in southern Italy. I have a friend who lived for 10 years in that area and he told me how the mafia offered to dispose of toxic waste for a mere 80 cent a piece (whereas, done with the proper procedures and so on, it would cost a few euros per piece). Of course, they just take it without any safety precautions and dump it into countries such as your’s and mine and also in some of the poorer areas of Italy as well, if I remember correctly.
Nah, I think that’s Croatian bastards in this case. It was a gentlemen agreement between local politicians and, as far as I know, someone from regional center which, naturally, has few big hospitals. However, one notable thing in Communist regime was that being a manager of scrap yard or waste disposal on municipal level was reserved as a reward for faithful service in UDBA, i.e. intelligence service. When you see that someone used to be a director of publishing house, then scrapyard and is now in construction business (or his son jumped in at some point) its probably not because he’s apt in multitasking but was and is an effective and loyal snitch. Although, you may well be right – Communist security services are very apt in dealings with organized crime or organizing it in the first place.
So I suppose that large, likely conservative rural and religious families will then be better represented against modern degeneracy like LBGTBBQ, abortion and immigration? I suppose this lady will then quickly backtrack and make sure that only that segment of the population is represented which has the right attitudes.
Recently Merkel has said something to the effect that nations need to forget the notion of national borders. In light of that being brought about, politicians must learn to ignore the wishes of their people. So much for democracy. It’s interesting how much the globalist establishment leaders to whom this democratic propaganda is directed, hate their own people.
Oh man. This reminded me of when I was in elementary school, something like 7-9 year old, I was horrified by the idea that doctors are payed for their work because I thought everyone should be treated free of charge. Together with finding my very old, all upper case text I wrote when of similar age in which I demonstrate mental capacity of Ivica Puljak (Branko will know), it lead me to conclude I was a leftist intellectual as a little child. They should have hired me to write articles for the Guardian or hold lectures on a highly esteemed university.
