Does The 'Civil Rights' Myth Serve As A Tool To Make Black People Think of The Federal Government As A Savior?

You're actually hawking "small government"?

Small government is cities that can't afford to keep the lights on all night long.

Small government is less services for poor suckas who support their own destruction.

I don't see any rich people with less government support in small government. In fact, small government means there are no checks and balances to raptor capitalism.

And you're trying to spin as a "man up" moment?

Governments are NOT for-profit businesses and can NOT create their own profit - only SPEND it.

Capitalism is part of the answer, the lack thereof which causes governments to go bankrupt.

"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."

The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.

"At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars.. War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. The state of affairs might be unpleasant, but what of it?"
