“Participating democrats” = “NGO-paid activists”

Elizabeth Nickson, Feb 08, 2025

What the left has done is create something they call ‘participatory democracy’, which means that activists, paid by NGOs, fight any and all economic activity in every jurisdiction to the point where anyone with a brain says, like I did, “Why bother?” This is why and how the activists live, on little bits of money doled out by NGOs and every level of government from every department (even libraries) and at every conceivable level: municipal, regional, state or provincial, and federal.

No one else shows up at the meetings. It is the participating democrats, all paid by us, and no one else. Because everyone else has a job. And a family. And is busy. And trusting. And the levers of government are enormously complex and hard to decipher, which is deliberate. So the bureaucrats and legislators shrug and consent to whatever stupid anti-scientific thing they want. These same people, all paid by us, show up at the legislatures.
