The tweet is "sarcastic", but it's true. So basically a self-own
on Richard's part. Also, the correct term is "plebian hubris",
not "mediocrity". And the danger is not to democracy, as this is
the manifestation of that ideology.

Dr. Jason Johnson describes GOP establishment (patricians) vs
GOP base (plebeians) on Trump support (ignore the annoying Jew
Melber who keeps interrupting):

Johnson speaks the truth, while Jews like Melber want you to
believe that Trump supporters are actually persuadable.

Global warming is an unwanted intrusion from Western
civilization!
--- Quote ---
> Whitehall sources were keen to push back on this on Sunday,
saying: “This isn’t about telling people to wear an extra jumper
and turn the heating off - that’s completely the wrong idea,
this is not about putting people in discomfort.
--- End Quote ---
People should be wearing an extra jumper and turning the heating
off! What about the discomfort of all those living in places
that are becoming too hot to live in? Why shouldn't those from
the country that literally started the Industrial Revolution be
required to share some discomfort to lighten it for everyone
else?
--- Quote ---
> “It’s about giving people the agency to learn the tips and
tricks to keep their energy bills lower.”
--- End Quote ---
This is what a government sounds like when it is afraid of those
it is supposed to be governing.
People managed fine with cold winters in pre-modern times,
simply by wrapping up while indoors. It would not be in any way
an exorbitant demand to require them to merely return to that
old lifestyle (especially when it was precisely the modern
lifestyle which created global warming in the first place).
--- Quote ---
> Nuclear power plants have become a key part of the
Government’s aim to boost energy security, with ministers hoping
they will eventually produce 25pc of the country’s power.

Instead, new nuclear power plants will be built to support
plebian hubris.

energy companies to warn that households' direct debits should
not be going up when they are making “huge efforts” to reduce
their energy consumption.

when consumers take “sensible steps” to reduce their bills, this
should be rewarded with falling direct debits rather than
punished by seeing them rise.
--- End Quote ---
This is the same mentality that led to the policy of slave
owners receiving compensation when slavery ended. It was all
about preventing the former slave owners from feeling discomfort
from the traumatically discomforting experience of no longer
owning slaves. They are making "huge efforts" to not be slave
owners! They should be rewarded rather than punished!
Cue the plebian hubris comment:

can be.
--- End Quote ---
Actually that is precisely what a serious (ie. non-Western)
government is supposed to do:
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_empire
--- Quote ---
> A hydraulic empire, also known as a hydraulic despotism,
hydraulic society, hydraulic civilization, or water monopoly
empire, is a social or government structure which maintains
power and control through exclusive control over access to
water. It arises through the need for flood control and
irrigation, which requires central coordination and a
specialized bureaucracy.[1]
> ...
> A developed hydraulic civilization maintains control over its
population by means of controlling the supply of water. The term
was coined by the German-American historian Karl August
Wittfogel (1896–1988), in his book Oriental Despotism: A
Comparative Study of Total Power (1957). Wittfogel asserted that
such "hydraulic civilizations"—although they were neither all
located in the Orient nor characteristic of all Oriental
societies—were essentially different from those of the Western
world. According to Wittfogel, most of the first civilizations
in history, such as Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, China, India,
and Pre-Columbian Mexico and Peru, are believed to have been
hydraulic empires.[2] Most hydraulic empires existed in arid or
desert regions, but imperial China also had some such
characteristics, due to the exacting needs of rice cultivation.
>
> The Maurya Empire in India was classified by Wittfogel as a
grandiose Hydraulic Economy.[3] Kautilya while referring to the
udakabhaga (water-cess, cess being a term used in India,
Scotland and Ireland for an additional tax) lists various kinds
of irrigation, viz., irrigated by manual labour, by carrying
water on the shoulder, by water lifts, and by raising water from
lakes, rivers etc. Some scholars believe, there is a clear
reference to canals for irrigation in the Arthashastra, in a
sutra which points out that water was set in motion by digging
(khatapravrittim) from a river-dam (nandinibhandayatana) or a
tank.[4]
>
> Apart from Ancient Egypt and the Kingdom of Kush, the Ajuran
Sultanate of the Horn of Africa was the only other hydraulic
empire in Africa. Beginning in the 13th century, the Ajuran
monopolized the water resources of the Jubba and Shebelle
rivers. Through hydraulic engineering, they also constructed
many of the state's limestone wells and cisterns that are still
in use today. Its rulers developed new systems for agriculture
and taxation, which continued to be used in parts of the Horn of
Africa as late as the 19th century.[5]
> ...
> The typical hydraulic empire government, in Wittfogel's
thesis, is extremely centralized, with no trace of an
independent aristocracy – in contrast to the decentralized
feudalism of medieval Europe.

empire were also central to Europe's colonization of much of the
global South.

It's OK for "whites" to do it to "non-whites", but not for it to
be done to "whites".

Anyone who uses "sovereign citizen" rhetoric belongs in this

recognize them?
--- End Quote ---
--- Quote ---
> Sovereign citizens don't want to pay taxes, want to take
property that does not belong to them, don't want to obtain
proper licenses from any type of government agency, and yet they
live among us benefiting from the fact that the rest of us
follow the rules and do what is right.

I would just add that how "sovereign citizens" behave in the US
is how "whites" generally behave (ie. think rules do not apply
to themselves and their fellow "whites") in "non-white"
countries around the world, most notably during the colonial era
but even to this day on smaller scales. And they all too often
get away with it due to psychological colonization among the
local "non-whites", for example:
