Breitbart conservative writer and commentator John Hayward penned an epic thread on Twitter explaining the illusion of “Benevolent Authoritarianism” in connection to the spread of elitist dictatorial aspirations across the planet.
Last week, Hayward began delving into the politics of control, writing, “Authoritarianism is the hottest political product in the world right now. Western elites believe their governments must become more dictatorial in order to compete with technocratic despotisms like China. Public submission is the most desired commodity.”
He expanded on those musings in regards to “Benevolent Authoritarianism” and what that flawed philosophy actually entails in a thread on Twitter.
“The myth of Benevolent Authoritarianism is second only to the myth of Honest Big Government in terms of dangerous ideological delusions. Authoritarianism cannot be harnessed to ‘fortify’ democracy, any more than wolves can be taught to guard sheep,” he posited on Twitter.

“The ‘Great Reset’ is supposed to make democracy stronger by making it smaller. High walls of authoritarian power will be constructed around the shrinking meadow of liberty. The walls will be policed by wise, compassionate autocrats and their business partners,” he noted alluding to founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum Klaus Schwab and his globalist cohorts.
“Sure, there is a growing list of things you Little People don’t get to vote on, but don’t worry – those are issues you’re not smart enough to understand. The notion of middle-class boobs or trailer-park rubes daring to defy the Consensus of Experts is absurd,” Hayward snarked.

“But you see, only by trusting a morally and intellectually superior elite to manage the population and most of our national wealth carefully can we achieve true, meaningful ‘freedom.’ You will be liberated from the burdens of need, consequence, and responsibility,” he wrote, nailing the intentions of globalist elitists.
“It will never become tyranny – don’t be silly! How could it be, when you Little People get to cast a few votes every couple of years? That’s the only check needed on power. You can just ‘throw the bums out.’ It can’t be a dictatorship if people get to vote against the dictator!” Hayward commented, tongue-in-cheek.

“That’s a key element of the myth of Benevolent Authoritarianism – as long as people get to vote, the only real fail-safe needed against tyranny is in place. Ballots become the only accepted proxy for ‘the consent of the governed’ – which is utterly absurd,” he astutely pointed out.
“‘I won 48% of the vote so everyone must do as I command’ is NOT AT ALL the same thing as ‘just government deriving its powers from the consent of the governed,’ but too many of us have been tricked into accepting it. Nor would winning 90% of the vote be an acceptable substitute,” Hayward remarked.

“Using votes as a proxy for the consent of the governed to justify Benevolent Authoritarianism is like the villain in ‘No Country for Old Men’ telling his victims they authorized their own executions by participating in his coin toss,” he continued.
“Whatever happened to the ‘tyranny of the majority,’ the rights of the minority, and keeping politics out of private life? You don’t hear much about any of that stuff anymore, because the Ruling Class is lusting hard after its post-pandemic vision of Benevolent Authoritarianism,” Hayward contended.

“One reason Benevolent Authoritarianism is a myth is the other, even more pernicious political fantasy: Honest Big Government. We’re supposed to forget about the corruption of power and place total faith in the autocrats who will build the fences around Safe, Small Democracy,” the conservative said, slamming those who push massive big government as the solution to all our ills.
“And power is not only corrupt, but ravenous. Power requires obedience for fuel, and like any other resource, obedience begins to offer diminishing returns. The populace must be squeezed ever tighter to make the next drops of obedience ooze out,” he warned.

“Dissent is antithetical to obedience, so it cannot be tolerated. Aspiring benevolent dictators always promise they’ll have full respect for dissenting views, but it never lasts, because they have to keep squeezing those precious drops of obedience out of the public,” Hayward asserted, referencing the power-hungry demand by dictators for submission from the masses.
“That safe little Great Reset meadow of democracy is going to keep shrinking, because the damn sheep will keep trying to climb over the walls. They must be taught not to question their betters or disobey their commands. It’s absolutely inevitable. Rulers require subjects,” he added.

“Beware the myth of Benevolent Authoritarianism, because it’s never benevolent at all, not even at the outset. Those managing the system simply cannot respect their subjects as equals, even if they claim to love them and want the best for them. Liberty dies, absent respect. /end,” Hayward concluded, issuing a grim warning of what those such as Schwab and adherents of the “Great Reset” are planning for all of us.
