Gamed Theory

Gamed Theory | "INVERTED TOTALITARIANISM EXPLOITS THE POOR, REDUCING OR WEAKENING HEALTH PROGRAMS AND SOCIAL SERVICES, REGIMENTING MASS EDUCATION FOR AN INSECURE WORKFORCE THREATENED BY THE IMPORTATION OF LOW-WAGE WORKERS”; "EMPLOYMENT IN A HIGH-TECH, VOLATILE, AND GLOBALIZED ECONOMY IS NORMALLY AS PRECARIOUS AS DURING AN OLD-FASHIONED DEPRESSION. THE RESULT IS THAT CITIZENSHIP, OR WHAT REMAINS OF IT, IS PRACTICED AMIDST A CONTINUING STATE OF WORRY.... WHEN CITIZENS ARE INSECURE AND AT THE SAME TIME DRIVEN BY COMPETITIVE ASPIRATIONS, THEY YEARN FOR POLITICAL STABILITY RATHER THAN CIVIC ENGAGEMENT, PROTECTION RATHER THAN POLITICAL INVOLVEMENT.” | image tagged in sheldon wolin,inverted totalitarianism,globalization,worry,protection,involvement | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Sheldon Wolin on Inverted Totalitarianism

Sheldon Wolin on Inverted Totalitarianism | “IF THE MAIN PURPOSE OF ELECTIONS IS TO SERVE UP PLIANT LEGISLATORS FOR LOBBYISTS TO SHAPE, SUCH A SYSTEM DESERVES TO BE CALLED ‘MISREPRESENTATIVE OR CLIENTRY GOVERNMENT”; “IT IS, AT ONE AND THE SAME TIME, A POWERFUL CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO THE DEPOLITICIZATION OF THE CITIZENRY, AS WELL AS REASON FOR CHARACTERIZING THE SYSTEM AS ONE OF ANTIDEMOCRACY.” | image tagged in inverted totalitarianism,legislators,lobbyists,clientry government,depoliticization,antidemocracy | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
