On Democracy and Cuckoos
From the Movie “The Third Man:”
“In Italy, for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder bloodshed — they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, 500 years of Democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The Cuckoo Clock.” The further Irony: even the Cuckoo clock is a German Invention.1
On the Borgias: ‘Cesare Borgia murdered his brother-in-law for the love of his sister, who was the mistress of their father - the Pope.’2
So my point? Fuck Democracy and lets all bomb ourselves to progression! The harshest environment breeds the best survivors.
