It’s Time for the Elites to Rise Up Against the Ignorant Masses

Cameron promised one so yeah. In my opinion, it's a huge waste of time, a distraction, the biggest victory for the UK far right in history

It's a major blunder to interpret this referendum using the "Left/Right" metaphor.

If you continue to think in those terms, you will inevitably misunderstand what's going on. The political ground has shifted, and we need new concepts to keep up.

It’s Time for the Elites to Rise Up Against the Ignorant Masses

Is that satire?

Is that satire?

No.

Did I say “ignorant”? Yes, I did. It is necessary to say that people are deluded and that the task of leadership is to un-delude them. Is that “elitist”? Maybe it is; maybe we have become so inclined to celebrate the authenticity of all personal conviction that it is now elitist to believe in reason, expertise, and the lessons of history. If so, the party of accepting reality must be prepared to take on the party of denying reality, and its enablers among those who know better. If that is the coming realignment, we should embrace it.
