Selecting from a third of the population weakens the State.

Relative to selecting from the whole population.

That’s the USA. That’s why Trump won. Because his voters can’t compete on the big stage except by the sheer number of racist votes.

It's as if the Ferengi took over the Federation of Planets, fired Janeway and gave the Borg the command of the entire fleet, so they could make more money stripping Voyager for parts.

The U.S. is not currently experiencing a full-scale Gleichschaltung, but specific trends and activities raise legitimate concerns. The potential exists for a gradual erosion of democratic norms and institutions.

Gleichschaltung refers to the Nazi policy of establishing a system of total control over all aspects of society. It's crucial to analyze the specific elements of Gleichschaltung and compare them to current trends.

@georgetakei When JRR Tolkien set up his history of Middle-earth, he placed artifacts of magnificent ruins for his "Fellowship" to stumble upon indicating that in previous eras the inhabitants once produced incredible art and building and civilization the present company could not approach.

I feel that this is the direction we are headed. It will not take generations, but mere months for us to lose the ability to create and accomplish what we used to do with ease.
