    ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY: The Oxford Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. Since 1823, the Union has been promoting debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe.
    The Oxford Union is deeply grateful and encouraged by the messages of support in response to our determination to uphold free speech. During our 200 year history, many have tried to shut us down. As the effects of self-imposed censorship on university campuses, social media and the arts show no signs of dissipating, the importance of upholding free speech remains as critical today as it did when we were founded in 1823. Your support is critical in enabling The Oxford Union to continue its mission without interruption and without interference. You can support the Oxford Union here: oxford-union.org/supportus

    • @texlad04
      @texlad04 7 днів тому

      Apart from the fact that Oxford is not in London, which is not really material to the point you're making (which I have sympathy with), the irony is that British citizens are pretty tired of elites from Oxford running their own country. I say this with the utmost respect for the Union having attended debates there myself. But the Oxford toffs along with the Cambridge toffs run the City of London, British business, and the British political machine. They often come from elite schools and become rich from politics if they weren't already. Think of Boris Johnson or David Cameron or Jacob Rees Mogg. And the system in the UK has pretty low party participation. The recent leadership changes haven't been based on a a national vote but instead on an internal party vote. They aren't really showing Americans a strong example of democracy in action. The average Briton is poorer than the average American and their NHS is at risk. The cost of living crisis there is worse than ours in the US and their housing market is more broken, against the backdrop of high streets in towns hollowing out, farmers being under great stress, and much more. The situation for the Conservative Party - replete with Oxbridge toffs - is so dire that Economist gives them a 1% chance of winning the snap election in July. Lizz "Lettuce" Truss is trying her hand at an US style populist party. We shall see.

Somehow this is called 'policy debate' as though only policies should be debated in this fashiojn.
      Then it's up to judges who 'can' understand them or some garbage, it's a totally ridiculous circus act. Complete opposite of debates worth hearing.

    Sultan Khokhar taps the three key points behind Populist tendencies world-wide:
    1. Populism is inherently democratic in expressing dissatisfactions that many believe are unseen and unheard by ruling administrations. Denying a populist voice is undemocratic and elitist.
    2. Populism is a corrective force expressed by the people - whether to the left or right. It is currently used as a tool to weaken opposition to current regimes.
    3. Populism is an expression of need to correct to maladministration, injustice, and political oppression. Populism responds to the expressed needs and discontents of the people. An unelected, unregulated bureaucracy is inherently anti-Democratic. Administration outside the boundaries of law - starting with Constitutions - is also anti-Democratic. Both are violations of the inherent right of citizens to institute laws as expressions of the social contract and to have a say in how those laws are administered.
    Democracy - and representative government - functions with the least turmoil when every person has an opportunity to express their thoughts and intentions, to have a say in the shaping of society ad in how society is managed. Top-down administration will always ensure conflict and opposition, as will oppression of peoples voices.

    • @cookieking1996
      @cookieking1996 12 днів тому +1

      Excellent, largely. Although the inherent fallibility of democracy - that always was and always will be present- is that idiots/stupid people can vote.
      I wonder if a system could ever be thought up to make it so that only those with some moderate level of understanding of how the interplay between politics and society really works, then perhaps we could filter out those voters who have no idea about politics, yet only a very surface-level, superficial understanding and grasp of policy design/implementation/intended effect/actual outcomes, and that’s to put it promisingly.
      Perhaps creating a standardised test to measure the political astuteness and comprehensions of the people would be an appropriate method to implement.
      Also, raising the voting age to 21 would be propitious; 18 year olds are too stupid and inexperienced in life, fundamentally, often lacking sufficient life experience and maturity. Another 3 years of development and the inevitable maturity that accompanies will surely do no harm but only manifest in more self-aware and politically receptive and attuned individuals.

    Democracy is government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives. The US is a Constitutional Republic. US Senators and Representatives swear an oath to uphold the Constitution not simply democracy. The US Constitution codifies the rights of the individual above the tyranny of a majority or pure populism. This is the genious of the US politic and what distinguishes it from an ordinary populist democracy.

    Checks & balances are only as good as the humans that manage them/use them within the system, that's the problem. This guy doesn't seem to get that it always ends in smth flawed or dangerous, because humans have power over it all, humans built the whole system, and humans are very flawed, therefore it's all faulty. And so far, there is no alternative, maybe someday the answer will be a different species, more stable and logical, like some hybrid between humans and AI, but then, the deadly 'error' within the AI system is of course always possible even predicted, because again - humans built the AI. There is no escaping this paradox.

    Benjamin Franklin once said that democracy is akin to two wolves and a sheep voting to decide what is for dinner.
    Democracy is majority rule. And just how are we to expect democracy to function with an uneducated and/or misinformed citizenry?
    I don't wish to speak for any other nation on the planet but here in America the education system has failed miserably to actually educate and our main stream media, ever lacking of scruples, does not inform, it misinforms and does so deliberately.
    Democracy is or certainly can be as dangerous as any form of tyranny out there in a nation where it's most necessary institutions are corrupted to their core.
    But I am grateful that men like Benjamin Franklin never sought to give birth to a democracy when they vowed their independence from Great Britain. When the Constitutional Convention of 1787 took place and the Constitution of the United States of America was created, then ratified a democracy was not created. A Constitutional Republic was formed and in all that time since 1787 nothing has changed, at least not officially.
    Our Constitutional Republic was born out of the concept that the rights of the individual trump majority rule and at least officially NOTHING has changed that what so ever since 1787.

      @grannyannie2948 My apologies for my original post. Most of the Founders were quite scholarly and knowledgeable of history and various philosophies. Most of them were well aware of the concept of democracy and yet never mentioned democracy in the founding documents, nor did they define the United States as a democracy in any of those same founding documents.

      @@FuzzyWuzzy75 No worries. I'm Australian and no expert, I was glad you put a name to a popular quote. From memory the reason democracy is bad is because if it results in tyranny you are fighting a large portion of your own people. A king was preferred because if he was a tyrant you only need to take out one man. But your founding fathers could hardly recommend a king in your country's case. Loosing the US is why Britain settled Australia, so we inherited your king, though perhaps he'd learnt his lesson. Queen Victoria certainly did. She was happy for us to become self governing states and later a nation.

      @grannyannie2948 I believe Thomas Sowell says it best when he says, "There are no solutions, only trade-offs." I don't believe that is ever more true than with governance.
      People can be easily manipulated, and that includes monarchs. Take, for example, the Emperor of Japan. For hundreds of years up to the end of WWII, the people of Japan were told that the Emperor was essentially god in carnate.
      The Emperor of Japan was pretty well chosen from birth and always lived a rather isolated life primarily around the Imperial Palace of Japan.
      The Emperor had counselors and advisors tell him about everything going on in Japan and in the outside world as it related to Japan. The major institutions of Japanese society all had their representatives on the Emperor's counsel. At least by WWII, the Army would have it's advisor to the Emperor, the Navy would have theirs, the Treasury would have their advisor, the diplomats would have theirs and so on. These "advisors" to the Emperor were the true power behind the throne in Japan. They would advise the Emperor, and based on their counsel, the Emperor would dictate his will to the people of Japan, and when your national ruler is god in carnate, how can you question his will?
      I am certainly no expert on the monarchs of Europe, but I would imagine there were some similarities to how the Emperor and his counselors ruled Japan for centuries. For that matter, I believe we are seeing something very similar in the modern United States, particularly with the Biden administration in particular. Biden is merely a yes man for George Soros, and his appointed lackies surrounding Joe Biden telling him what to do and say.
      As pointed out in this clip, the elites and oligarchs are certainly not doing the will of what is in the best interests of the people. They are doing what is in their own best interests.
      These elites and oligarchs are a perfect example of individuals of low levels of morality in high levels of power. They are living proof that absolute power corrupts absolutely, and apparently, that is just as much the case in a so-called democracy as it is with a monarchy.
      The elites and the oligarchs today want their new world order. They claim that this liberal world order is something new that has never been tried before that will lead us all to the Utopia. Nonsense, the new world order is just a modernized prettier way of saying empire and empires have risen and fallen since the dawn of civilization and have always lead to tyranny in the past, it will be no different this time around either.
      And why should we expect anything but tyranny from those who tell us, "You'll own nothing and be happier!"? Why should we expect anything but tyranny from those that believe so strongly in the principle of "do as I say not do as I do" when it comes to environmental stewardship? These people are proof that evil exists and they are setting the stage for Hell on earth.

      @@FuzzyWuzzy75 I understand your statement about trade offs. At least your elections seem to offer some difference in policy. Realistically both our major parties are globalist puppets, and voting never changes anything so I've given up on any democratic solutions. As I say it doesn't matter who you vote vote for, the policies never change only the rhetoric. It reminds me of what we were taught of the Soviet Union as children.
      That was very interesting about the Japanese Emperor. I've never really read about it. It sounds like the current leader of China. Everyone knows about their plans for Taiwan, but they threatened to missile us during covid, apparently. So Taiwan may just be the beginning.
      I was taught about English kings and Queens and I enjoy history.
      Throughout the Middle Ages it really depended on the King and his personality. But they seemed to be able to get rid of many bad ones. What you refer to is the Divine Right of Kings. It began in 1603 with James 1. His son Charles 1 took it too far and literally lost his head. Parliament then appointed the Puritan Oliver Cromwell to rule. Charles' sons lived in relative poverty on the continent. When Cromwell died the English, now Great Britain, brought the son's home, and Charles 2 became King. But his powers were greatly curtailed by parliament. Especially his expenditure if he didn't do what they wanted.
      He was certainly not a puritan. He loved the theatre and had multiple mistresses. But he was a man of the people. He was just as happy to speak to a working man, as to a courtier. And when London burned in 1666? He and his brother physically fought the fire. This was when puritans enmass left for North America.
      After his death he was discovered to have been a secret Roman Catholic in order to extract money from the French. He had no legitimate children so the throne went to his brother James 2. When James' second wife who was Catholic gave birth to a son, he and his family were exciled on pain of death. This was the Glorious Revolution in 1688.
      After that it was democratic rule though few could vote, like Plato's Greece. Parliament had to approve monarchs, and did most of the legislation the king just signed. Poor King George was a pretty helpless and pathetic case. He suffered from a combination of mental illness and the cruel treatment of his doctors. He was not a tyrant, but perhaps the elected British parliament was.
      But they looked to America when considering our settlement. In 1786 they outlawed slavery in our country, we were not settled until 1788. They made it ilegal to harm our indigenous people, and to kill one carried the death sentence.
      I realise I may have touched sensitive issues. I had no intention to offend. Only to discuss. And my conclusions between Kings and democracy.

    Populism and democracy are tyranical. This is why the Constitution of the United States was written and is the "Supreme law of the land" (Article VI US Constitution) 51% of the feelings wants and desires are NOT the rule of law. Democracy the 51% doesnt care about the 49% nor the individual and the liberties the "populist" would surely disregard. Madison wrote about the problems populism would bring to the United States government in federalist paper 10. If populism is unlimited in its power regardless if its direct or representative it becomes authoritarian. "173 elected despots would surely be as oppressive as one" (Thomas Jefferson)

      that alone is the claim of the deap state this people call all the time... wake the fuck up and hear what they are talking... checks and balances is to say look you can do what you want this way... and ok... but even when they follow the rules it doesn't work because people in that process dont like how things are going because it will effect them in a negative way... just say you are a elitist.
      to me sounds like you want to trap populists in their place and corner this correct process does not exist in the corrent system because as i sayed people that were not elected interven in every step of the way... now if that was true for everyone maybe is the way it should be, but is not... only their way is the way.
