Dan GillmorJul 4

This is the saddest July 4 in my memory. The United States is plunging into vile right-wing dictatorship, in large part because once-vital institutions -- including Big Journalism -- have chosen to be quislings when courage was needed.

It's not too late to reverse our decline, but it's close.

@dangillmor I've given up hope. I think only a military intervention could help us at this point.

@Ricardus @dangillmor Actually there are two books that can help yu.

One is the Myth of the national defense.

The second is Democracy, the god that failed.

Both by Hans-Hermann Hoppe. I'll help you to understand the real problem.

@Equiss @dangillmor I read Chomsky. I'm aware.

@Ricardus @dangillmor Right. The philosopher Hoppe gets it right when it comes to this whole chauvinism in democracy thing.
