Hubris, incompetence, and lies....


Newminimalists remain strong in the face of chaos.


Is CHAZ the first step towards a new world?.

Hubris is widespread today. It is tied to incompetence. And it is cocooned by lies.


Hubris, incompetence, and lies has led to a physical presence in Seattle. Hubris is evident in the radical assertion that the people of CHAZ are the anointed ones and everyone outside the borders [enforced by armed guards] of this six block area are tyrants. The incompetence of this movement is obvious because it immediately moved on from chants to rule by force. In CHAZ the big lie is that mob rule is a viable alternative form of democracy to what has persisted throughout America since the war of independence.


Will CHAZ become a lasting symbol for a new social structure in America? Perhaps..... At this point it is not too hard to imagine that the beta-test of mob rule in CHAZ is the beginning of a change that will soon spread to LA, San Francisco, San Diego, San Bernardino, and beyond. However. Surely the challenge for mob rule is the impact hubris, incompetence, and lies on any type of leadership that can emerge from this soup of ideologies, illusions, and delusions.


Raz Simone is apparently the newly self-appointed leader of the community named CHAZ. Apparently, he has command of a group of armed supporters who now control this start-up autonomous zone inside the city of Seattle. Is this an emerging nation? Is this a community of rebels who are destined to become the core of the movement that changes America from a Republic to a new form of democracy? Can this community become the model for a new type of collective rule? I have no idea, sorry.


But I do think that a start-up community that is most notable for the embedded traits of hubris, incompetence, and lies will struggle to sustain a viable economy and a stable social contract with all of its citizens. However. It is way too early to say where the CHAZ movement will ultimately lead America and the rest of the world.


Fortunately, I live in Prague and here some citizens still retain clear memories of the hubris, incompetence, and lies that accompanied the Warsaw Pact takeover of their nation in 1968
