Illegitimate authorities
The European Commission, religious leaders, consultancy firms (Accentur, Mac Kinsey, Ernst and Young, PWC), crowds, senates and social networks are all examples of illegitimate authorities in countries where the people are self-determining as a democracy. Big business like Coca-Cola or Total is powerful; what is illegitimate is the representative of the people who puts the interests of big business before those of the people. Scientists with the title of doctor of science, who are therefore authorities who sell their souls to the multinationals, these sellers of doubt are illegitimate, as the documentary The World According to Monsanto shows.
For example, the European Commission is made up of people appointed by the member countries; they are not elected. The European Parliament, which is elected and therefore legitimate, has no authority because it is only consultative.
The crowd is illegitimate. The angry people in the street are not the ones who have to decide. Citizens are legitimate. They have to decide by referendum to become a legitimate authority.
Religious people have power, but they are not legitimate authorities. Politicians have no business consulting them.
Consultancy firms, including the Fab Four, have no business advising our elected representatives and public authorities. The administration is the arm that implements what has been voted. If the people have decided on such and such a programme for such and such an elected official, that’s what they want. The abuse of these consultancy firms is causing the population of experts in the administration to decline because these posts are being abolished. These consultancy firms serve their most powerful clients, not the people. Civil servants are servants of the people. For example, the entire COVID reaction was steered by Mac Kinsey, even though we have a Ministry of Health.
Senates or upper houses are assemblies of unelected people, often appointed for life, who have the power to block any political change in a country even if the people want it. They can nullify the work of the people’s representatives. They are major obstacles to the will of the people.
Social networks, unlike journalists, have not been to school and do not have a journalist’s card; the protection of their sources is not governed by law. They have no authority to guarantee their information. Social networks are replacing journalism. There is no transparency or ethics. They are commercial companies that sell their influence to private companies, political parties or governments. 73% of 16-30 year-olds get their information solely from social networks, according to the newspaper L’Etudiant.
The police and the army are illegitimate when they serve power rather than the people. They are legitimate when they defend the people. For example, General de Gaulle was legitimate in his appeal of 18 June. General Lafayette sided with the French revolutionaries against the nobility. Napoleon was legitimate when he overthrew parliament.
Courts of exception are illegitimate. Justice is accountable to the people, so why are our elected representatives judged by parliamentary commissions of enquiry, high courts of justice or military tribunals? Industrial tribunals are an aberration. The administrative courts are a form of justice where people judge each other and are not accountable to the people. The arbitration tribunal set up by the European Union judges economic disputes by economic players, not by judges.
The European Central Bank is independent, not subject to the power of elected representatives.

Jack Nicholson at 85
There is no shortage of significant April 22 birthdays. As I write this, it is the centennial of the births of Bettie Page and Aaron Spelling; last year it was Charles Mingus. Also born this day: John Waters, Henry Fielding, Glen Campbell, Charlotte Rae, Eddie Albert, Byron Allen, Ralph Byrd, Mickey Deems, Paul Dresser, and many others, plus it’s Earth Day. But there are still worlds to conquer!…

Fuck that entire decision. They just upheld systemic racism. The Supreme Court is barely legitimate at this point.
What's really horrific is the same 14th Ammendment designed to protect Blacks from white racism is being used today by 6-fake SCOTUS justices to deny Blacks protection from white racism/supremacy.
Beyond pathetic!

you would think that the Rhaenyra stan’s would be crying for Mya Stone to sit the Iron throne but crickets
Targ stans are famously bad at both media literacy and critical thinking. If a war between five kings broke out over the Lannister bastards, then why wouldn’t ppl be upset by rhaenyra’s? They really thought that in this backwards ass world that is Westeros ppl would just be fine with rhaenyra’s kids clearly not being laenor’s. It’s kinda nice to once again say I told you so lol
It truly is a sight to behold. I get that the modern perspective means it doesn’t matter, but it doesn’t take the most galaxy brain in existence to realize Westeros is not taking place in the modern perspective.
Key point? Rhaenys and Rhaenyra. They are supposed to represent modern feminist ideology. (They don’t.) However, Rhaenyra believes she’s the exception to the rule of inheritance and it should only be sons after her. And Rhaenys had no problem marrying off her 12 year old to an old man so that her daughter could birth heirs and usurp Rhaenyra.
Stannis and Renly Baratheon declared war against Joffrey because he was a very clear bastard. “But they weren’t related to the king!” I hear antis crying. Yes. But none of Robert’s bastards that were related to him took the throne either nor did any of them have a claim.
Bastardy is a hot topic in Westeros. No matter how you try to construe it, bastards don’t have a claim to the throne. Therefore, Rhaenyra pushing them on the throne is treason. If it wasn’t a big deal that they were born bastards, Rhaenyra would’ve cried to daddy that her kids aren’t legitimate and asked him to legitimize them by royal decree. But she doesn’t do that. She hides it. Because it is a big deal and she knows she fucked up.
It takes the smallest amount of critical thinking to understand that Rhaenyra’s kids being illegitimate is a big deal that hurts her claim to the throne. But what can I expect from people that watched a white woman crowd surf brown people calling her mother and thought “Yes. This is clearly a good person.”

The decision to keep the relationship with Chertoff quiet is a reflection of a pattern of opacity at the nation's highest court, whose rulings affect every American

I always felt like it but I saw a reply here that confirms I've done something to be deemed problematique. Other than entertaining on tumblr I can't figure what else it could possibly be.

W.C. Fields' Dirty Secret
What can the title of this post refer to, you wonder? W.C. Fields wore all of his sins on his sleeve: drinking, smoking, and professed animadversions for such untouchable subjects of societal sanctity as children, dogs, family, religion, and the New Deal. His will specifically stipulated that no black children receive any of his bequest to orphans, a rare example of an S.O.B. extending his…

This is an illegitimate and deeply corrupt Supreme Court
Today is a sad day in American constitutional law and in the lives of LGBT people. The Supreme Court of the United States declares that a particular kind of business, though open to the public, has a constitutional right to refuse to serve members of a protected class. The Court does so for the first time in its history. By issuing this new license to discriminate in a case brought by a company that seeks to deny same-sex couples the full and equal enjoyment of its services, the immediate, symbolic effect of the decision is to mark gays and lesbians for second-class status. In this way, the decision itself inflicts a kind of stigmatic harm, on top of any harm caused by denials of service. The opinion of the Court is, quite literally, a notice that reads: "Some services may be denied to same-sex couples."
Today, the Court, for the first time in its history, grants a business open to the public a constitutional right to refuse to serve members of a protected class. Specifically, the Court holds that the First Amendment exempts a website-design company from a state law that prohibits the company from denying wedding websites to same-sex couples if the company chooses to sell those websites to the public.
The Court also holds that the company has a right to post a notice that says, "No [wedding websites] will be sold if they will be used for gay marriages."
Our Constitution contains no right to refuse service to a disfavored group.

thinking about this article i read that mentioned illegitimate children in ancient greece (athens in particular) and also this chapter from imagining illegitimacy in classical greek literature and how teucer's entire relationship to telamon (and by extension, ajax and eurysaces) is reliant on maintaining telamon's favor, and how when he loses that - after fighting for ten years to sack his mother's city, killing his own maternal family in the process - he is basically left without any kin at all. and i think it hits harder that teucer went to war against the side of his family that (in other circumstances) he would have been included in, since illegitimate children were typically raised by their mother's relatives. he gambled everything and he lost it all in return
#and why wouldnt teucer choose telamon? his fathers recognition gives him agency it gives him legitimacy it gives him status#now given the article i'm referencing is focusing on classical athens so it doesnt give a complete picture of illegitimate experiences#but i still think its interesting to chew on when thinking about teucer & his family. that he chooses the most precarious side#and it falls apart in front of his eyes. and all thats left of his mother's family is smoking rubble and ash. and helenus i fucking guess#teucer#teukros#the iliad#tagamemnon
