Chapter 31. The Electoral Illusion and the Titanium Ceiling
Abstract: Throughout Europe (from Le Pen’s France to the AfD’s Germany, from Farage’s United Kingdom to the new sovereignist movements in Italy), we are witnessing the same electoral dynamic: political forces that promise the restoration of order, the closing of borders, and the certainty of punishment gather millions of votes, propelled by the exasperation of citizens. Yet, once the programs are presented, jurists and commentators immediately demonstrate, law codes in hand, that such proposals are unfeasible because they are “unconstitutional” or contrary to European Treaties. This chapter applies the Mechanics of Community to today’s geopolitics, demonstrating that the Western democratic game has been rigged by design. Through the dogma of Human Rights (the Immanent Domain), elites have built an unmodifiable “Titanium Ceiling.” Opposition programs are destined to become scrap paper, as citizens continue to vote to change the rules of the Social Domain, ignoring that the Empty Machine has armored power within Constitutional and supranational Courts, making the popular vote a mere and harmless thermodynamic relief valve
