Rationalizing Minority Rule

I follow a few avowedly conservative sites so you don't have to and can report that conservatism is either about minority rule or justifying minority rule. Minority rule is not an unreasonable idea. Responsible conservatives would argue for it openly. I recall reading a book by a Catholic priest in which he said the point, in both individuals and the society, is to have the higher things rule the lower. If it takes minority rule to accomplish this I might be for it. 

Then there are the surreptitious social warriors who don't support minority rule openly but lie about it. That it's not what it appears to be or it's necessary in the circumstances or we won fuck you the standards don't apply. You have to ask why we end up with the liars. Always the liars. Even Orbán and his like are liars and they're pretty frank about it. Because in these cases it's not about minority rule as a means to responsible governance but authoritarianism.

Suppression, bigotry and exploitation. In the States of course the Constitution appears to be against it, even an accountable version. But, of couse, their response to this is fuck that. A power grab. They dress it up all nice in the sites I read since they're not for owning their racist and fascist roots but it all comes down to domination. Non-representative government, which isn't precluded by minority rule in my opinion. But it requires submission. Deference.

Maybe delegation. People can recognize their weaknesses in such a way that they choose to hand over operations to some duly constituted authority that is bound by higher standards. What's truly bizarre, of course, and perverse to boot, is that conservatives seem to end up consistently supporting lower standards or obliterating them aldtogether in a mass of lies and confusion. A reign of unintelligibility so they can plunder with impunity. Or delegate the plunder.

Thereby living well without having to do the dirty work. As in the USA where an enforcer class is emerging of thugs, brutes and bouncers. And citizens are lining up for this so it makes minority rule seem to have a circularity problem. That it's inherently unstable and destructive. Maybe as all forms of government. We might have to wait for a new regime or dominant species or planet to solve that one. The evidence is we aren't even in the ballpark. 

That we'll destroy ourselves completely needlessly, led by people calling themselves conservatives who haven't seen the daylight of truth for decades.
