Words and meaning (or metonimy ?)

[adamo]

1)Some people call this a direct democracy : people choose yes or no, and the number of which is bigger imposes (dictates) it's choice to the minority, and naturally to the one who have not said anything. Some people describe this process as "dictature of the majority", but do not judge the value of this process. (lawmaker >). In this system, the people not following the decided rules are called "impeacher of well-functioning"..or "believers more intelligent than the majority"

2) Some other system, the people have nothing to say about the new laws. In this system people not following the rule are called "revoluationaries". The extreme of this is the 1 person dictature. (Some people think of computer automatic dictature, but this is science-fiction)

3) And finally, there are systems in which every case is different and has to be repertoried (DNA and mostly medical stuff, or personal stuff, Brave New World).

It's obvious that system one is very heavy and lack most of the time of precision and puts doubt on the secrecy (1984), whereas mixing 1 and 3 seems to be the "normal" system, in the sense : we cannot always follow the rule, and there are new rules du to new cases, and old rules have to be abandoned, and so on..

From this it is sometimes believed that superpose(1,3)--->a ghostly shadow of 2...(?) In the sense : the dictature is hidden by a system decided by people reminding hidden scruptiures or virtual people that are more real than real people in a dedalus of pseudonyms, mutating DNA, wrong dead people and other random generated events (or pseudo-random) putting in the media wrong figures with words from other people on million of mouth...or the opposite way...Some psychiatrists call this state of mind giving that description of social reality : schizophrenia ?

I would say that this content is discussing different forms of government and their implications on the use of language and labeling. The first system described is a direct democracy, where the majority rules and those who disagree are labeled as "impeachers" or "believers more intelligent than the majority". The second system is described as having no input from the people and those who resist are labeled as "revolutionaries". The third system is a combination of the first two, where there is room for individual cases to be considered, but also a potential for manipulation and hidden agendas.

The use of language in these systems is important, as it can influence public perception and shape societal norms. The author suggests that in some cases, the language used can hide the true nature of the government, creating a "ghostly shadow" of a dictatorship. This can lead to confusion and even mental health issues, as described by the term "schizophrenia".

I would also consider the psychological and sociological factors at play in these systems. How does the use of language affect the behavior and beliefs of individuals? How do different forms of government impact the overall well-being of a society? These are important questions to consider when examining the relationship between words and meaning in the context of government and society.
