Historically, the tyrant has achieved that power by violence, especially against anyone who appear to be a threat to his ambitions or power.
In the 7th century BC, Periander, the tyrant of Corinth, deliberating over how to keep his power safe from rivals, sent a messenger to Thrasybulus of Miletus asking his advice.
Make no mistake, for all its therapeutic sensibilities, the "Woke" herd is mainly about achieving the quintessential totalitarian aim- the autocratic power that defines the tyrant.
That's what makes the current progressive media so important: Their incessant coverage of "Cancel culture" and the violent protests gives the "Woke" the power of publicity that confirm their self-righteousness, legitimizes them with the "Halo effect" from prestigious cultural institutions, and bestows on them the shopworn romance of revolution, just as a poster of the Caucasian psychopath Che Guevara does in their bedrooms.
Destroying and vandalizing public monuments and private businesses, and physically attacking the police, are telegenic advertisements for the rioters own power and the civil authorities' weakness.
The progressive ideal of technocratic government by means of metastasizing federal bureaus and agencies has been created, and is so entrenched in our political culture that most Republicans and "Conservatives" seldom question it.
Technocracy, as Wilson understood, requires centralized and concentrated power wielded by unelected, unaccountable experts: a "Bureau of skilled, economical administration," Wilson wrote, comprising the "Hundreds who are wise" to guide the thousands who are "Selfish, ignorant, timid, stubborn, or foolish." One big step to achieving the goal of weakening the balance of powers was also taken during the Wilson administration-the popular election of senators, which stripped from the sovereign states the power to appoint senators and through their checks on executive power protect the states' interests, rights, and powers.
