... Ibsen, here, might lead us to consider #ochlocracy โ per #Polybius the "pathological" form of [presumably] functional/*just* #democracy โ the #tyrannyofthemajority, #consentofthegoverned, #informedconsent, and the ever-present specter of #engineeredconsent / #manufacturedconsent.
I have seen this story. #Democracy is guided by reason and conscience, while #ochlocracy is driven by noise and impulse. In the end, they say it was your vote, namely your choice. No, I didnโt vote, but yes, #populists chose this path. In the end, you end up polarized and polarization wins.

โข Reign of Terror (1793โ94)โrevolutionary mobs executed thousands in democracyโs name.
โข January 6th (2021)โa mob, believing itself legitimate, briefly overrode legal authority.
