The Democratic Party Exists To Make Sure Good People Do Nothing

GOOD COP, BAD COP THEATER - FOLLOW THE MONEY

Caitlin Johnstone

The reason I criticize the Democrats so much can be explained in the aphorism "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." The Democratic Party exists to ensure that good people will do nothing.

Gaza is such a perfect example of this. When Instagram progressive Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez promulgates the blatant lie that Kamala Harris is "working tirelessly to secure a ceasefire in Gaza," the result is that people who trust AOC will relax and stop pushing for an end to the genocide. They've been told by the congresswoman who's been marketed as standing as far to the left as anyone can reasonably be that the current administration can be trusted to take care of this thing, so all they need to do to save Gaza is vote for the vice president in November.

So I criticize the Democrats more than the Republicans because they require more criticism. That Republicans are evil is obvious at a glance to anyone with a conscience; that Democrats are evil is much less obvious, and usually requires quite a bit more consciousness and commentary to understand.

The empire has weaponized the insight that the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing, so spreading awareness of the reality that the Democrats are not good people and are not doing good things helps take away that weapon.

Evil will continue to triumph as long as good people continue to do nothing, and good people will continue to do nothing as long as they believe their values and desires are represented by a political party whose sole purpose is to ensure the triumph of evil. Shattering that belief is an absolutely essential step toward a healthy world. This should be a major goal of good people everywhere.
