The reactionary dilemma: is liberal democracy bad because the masses vote and are bought off by gibs ("aristocratic mode"), or is it bad because plutocratic capitalists are preventing us from having gibs ("Caesarist mode")?

The masses vote, they're paid off in moral gibs and they pay out actual resources. The moral gibs are giving to a bottomless pit of lifting up the unliftable. There are no possible middle gibs - no one can pay for them - expropriating the high breaks the machine.

The blacks give "votes", collect money and sinecures. Middle whites pay money, get uplifting stories about how this time the blacks have a fair shot and you're morally superior to your ancestors who kept them down. The top gets moral credit and money.

Is this democracy's fault though? I think this is the fault of a liberal ideology but not the mechanism of voting/democracy. Noone voted, or ever voted, for any of the degenerate stuff going on in society right now

"Liberal ideology" is just a key shaped to fit the locks democratic government puts on power. If it doesn't offer power it has as many adherents in the US as it does in Afghanistan.
