Insurrection, Authoritarianism, and Liberal Democracy
Opinion » Columnists
The Capitol "insurrection" in the U.S. on January 6, 2021 reveals an "uncomfortable truth" about "liberal democracy," which is that it can be "authoritarian," so the distinction between "authoritarianism" and "liberal democracy" has been "falsely framed" in political discourse since the modern era. This unconventional view was first proposed in my 2007 book titled "The Rise of Authoritarian Liberal Democracy."
It is too simplistic to lay blame on pro-Trump protesters. Four days after the "insurrection," in an ABC News/Ipsos poll released on January 10, "56% of Americans think...[Trump] should be removed from office," but "43% say he should not." And 43% means more than 141 million Americans in 2020.
Authoritarianism and Liberal Democratic Elites
The Capitol insurrection is only the "symptom" of a deeper problem in the U.S. political system. From its founding in 1776 to now, the U.S. has experienced "authoritarian" (intolerant and violent) acts against the "Others" in the political divide: Native Indian Removal, Black slavery, the Civil War, the forced Mexican cession (of California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming), the annexation of Hawaii (after overthrowing the Hawaiian monarchy), the occupation of Pacific islands (like Guam, Midway, etc.), Jim Crow laws, the Monroe Doctrine (for political and military interventions in Latin America), the Wilmington 1898 coup, the Chinese Exclusion Acts, glass ceilings against minorities, Japanese American Internment Camps, the Red Scare (or McCarthyism), the Watergate Scandal, the Irangate Scandal, America's endless wars abroad, the 2000 Florida Recount Scandal, covert operations (revealed by Wikileaks), global mass surveillance (disclosed by Edward Snowden), recurrent hate crimes, the Trumpgate Scandal, and now the Capitol insurrection.
This long history of "authoritarian" liberal democracy has much to do with its "individualist" political culture which values "ruthless competition" in the quest for wealth and power. The Founding Fathers of the United States were aware of this danger and built a mechanism of "checks and balances" (among the three branches) in the U.S. Constitution to prevent one group from gaining absolute power. Unfortunately, this mechanism has often been broken, either because one group wins a "majority" (or "plurality") of votes but is then tempted into a "tyranny of the majority (or plurality)" at the expense of the minority, or because one group tries to win a "majority" (or "plurality") by "any means necessary" (like "stealing votes," "fabricating voter frauds," "sabotaging vote counts," etc.).
In other words, "individualist" political culture in liberal democracy has no shared "substantive" conception of the "common good" (other than the mere "procedural" allegiance to the "formality" of the "rule of law"), so the word "liberal" in political thought is "procedural" in spirit. Consequently, greed and corruption are pervasive in "liberal democracy," in spite of the "rule of law." This explains why many voters in liberal democracy are often disillusioned with "professional" politicians who come and go after a few years, without achieving much of anything for the "common good," while excelling in "political soundbites and promises." Just think how much the U.S. has messed up in handling the COVID-19 pandemic (with politicians laying blame on others), and Trump even said that he was "proud" of the highest number of U.S. COVID-19 cases in the world.
Authoritarianism and Liberal Democratic Non-Elites
Moreover, there are authoritarian "non-elites" in liberal democracy (not just "elites" in power). In the U.S., there are "radicals" (not just "moderates") in "leftist" political groups, with "ANTIFA" politics (vs. "MAGA" politics) as the most recent example, like "neo-Socialists," "Social Democrats," "left-wing anarchists," "radical feminists," "radical Black Lives Matter" activists, "radical LGBTQ" activists, "radical Me Too" activists, "radical Cancel Culture" activists, etc.
Surely, not all "radicals" are "violent." But an "authoritarian" can be "mentally violent" ("intolerant") to perceived opponents without being "physically violent." For instance, "radical Black Lives Matter" activists and "radical feminists" practice a "double standard" to criticize their favorite targets ("whites" and "men," respectively) but perceive those (in the latter) who criticize them as their "enemies" who need to be "cancelled," "expelled," "forced to resign," "prosecuted," "silenced," etc. in a highly "intolerant" ("politically correct") culture of our time. This has resulted in "reverse racism," "reverse sexism," and so on (as detailed in my 2002 book titled "The Future of Capitalism and Democracy" and in my 2004 book titled "Beyond Democracy to Post-Democracy").
In both cases (involving "elites" and "non-elites"), "liberal democracy" can be "authoritarian," so the dichotomy between "authoritarianism" and "liberal democracy" has been falsely framed in political discourse in the last hundreds of years. The Capitol insurrection is a wake-up call to those who have uncritically embraced this "conventional" wisdom (dichotomy) in political thought for so long.
The second impeachment of Trump on January 13 will perpetuate the vicious cycle of confrontational divisionism between the Left and the Right (as many Republicans are already fighting back in the 2nd impeachment trial currently in progress). The "alt-cons" under Trump will not last when he is gone, just as the "neo-cons" under Bush did not last when he was gone, but there will be "new"-cons in the future, so the vicious cycle continues.
In conclusion, both the Capitol "insurrection" and the subsequent "second impeachment" will not resolve one of the most fundamental problems in the U.S. political system, namely, its chronic "authoritarian" tendency as already seen in the last hundreds of years, both by the "Left" and the "Right," and by "elites" and "non-elites."

Romarco Minerals' proposed mine is expected to be the largest open-pit gold digging operation ever developed in South Carolina. The Canadian corporation says the Lancaster County mine, located halfway between Columbia and Charlotte, would be one of the few east of the Mississippi River and the largest in the eastern United States.
The mine site is on 4,552 acres, about half of which would be used for digging gold.
Some pits would extend more than 800 feet deep. Mining the site would affect, either directly or indirectly, as many as 1,100 acres of wetlands, an amount greater than any proposed for a development project in South Carolina today.
Much of the impact would result when the mine lowers groundwater levels to keep open gold pits dry. In perspective, the 1,100 acres would rival the size of some state parks in South Carolina and be about twice the size of the University of South Carolina campus in Columbia.
Corps officials expect many wetlands to recover eventually, but they concede the gold mine's scars on the landscape still would be substantial. At least 120 acres likely would be lost forever, an amount in its own right that is larger than most projects pending before the Corps in South Carolina.
In addition to wetlands impacts, the mine also would affect up to 24 miles of creeks, many buried by mining waste. It also would include a toxin-tinged waste tailings pond.
Romarco Minerals, the Canadian company seeking to dig the mine, said the final environmental report moves the project forward after three years of study. The company says it is trying to minimize the environmental affects of gold mining.
"We are pleased that the process has reached this point and grateful for the overwhelming support of the local community," Romarco president Diane Garrett said in a news release.
Romarco previously has received state approvals to discharge water and air pollution, as well as a dam permit and a stormwater construction permit. The company still needs a state mine operating permit, a state water quality certification and the federal wetlands permit to begin excavation.
The company's plan is to reopen and expand the historic Haile Gold Mine, an operation that dates to the early 1800s.
The site has been mined periodically through the years but never to the extent proposed by Romarco. The company plans to dig deep for tiny flecks of gold that could not be reached by past operations. Higher gold prices make the effort possible.
Romarco's plan has drawn praise throughout Kershaw, a tiny community with high unemployment.
A recent hearing drew hundreds of people, most of whom said they back the gold mine to help the economy and provide badly needed jobs. Up to 800 jobs, both temporary and permanent, have been forecast to be created.
The mine has met mixed resistance from environmental groups and natural resource agencies because Romarco has offered 3,700 acres of waterfront land near Columbia as compensation for wetlands losses in Lancaster County.
The S.C. Department of Natural Resources supports the mine because of the land being offered along the Wateree River, which includes Goodwill Plantation and Cook's Mountain in lower Richland County – a unique land formation long coveted by conservationists for public ownership.
The only major environmental group to openly challenge the mine is the Southern Environmental Law Center, which has said the Richland County land isn't adequate to offset the damage that is likely to occur in Lancaster County.
The Richland property is more than an hour away from the Lancaster County mine site and in another watershed. Such out-of-watershed trades are often frowned upon by the federal government.

Wonder if Nick would have signed that clause?
Schroder butts in
Latest NYPD Blue hunk ready for TV exposure
By CLAIRE BICKLEY
HOLLYWOOD -- Uber-producer Steven Bochco has a history of recycling actors, whether that means using them again on another show or giving them a job after they missed on their first try.
So he calls it "very possible, very possible" that he'll have future starring roles for Nicholas Lea (The X-Files) and Kevin Dillon, runners-up in auditions to replace Jimmy Smits on NYPD Blue this fall.
For now though, it's Rick Schroder signing on the line of NYPD's famous nudity clause. He'll join the drama in the new season's sixth episode as a former narcotics officer now working homicide cases.
"I got no problem signing it," Schroder says of promising to drop his drawers in the line of duty. "My wife says I've got a great one."
Easy for him to say. He's 28.
Co-star Dennis Franz is less anxious for a reappearance of his middle-aged rear.
"Average working-class guy with an average ass -- I think that's what I represent," he says.
"We don't need to go there too many times."
But Franz adds a butt but.
"It's also nice to see an average man have a sexual appetite and sexuality to him. Listen, we don't all look like Jimmy Smits. And the majority of us who don't, still have active sex lives and we do get naked once in a while. So we show that on the show, for better or worse."


Preposition: in the street, on the street, at the street?
I've heard that in the street is a BrE and on the street is an AmE. Would you mind telling me whether it is true or not?
From where I'm sitting (in Los Angeles), it's "on the street."
Well, I think in AE we use both, but "on the street" is more common.
And I suspect they may have subtle differences in meaning depending on context.
Hrmm, I'm American. To me, there's a significant difference between the two.
"In the street" means literally that you are "in the middle of the street, standing on it, and waiting for a passing car to hit you.", while "on the street" can be used to describe buildings which face the street. i.e. "The factory was on Jackson Street." or a pedestrian who is walking down the street, but is on the sidewalk, not in the middle of the road.
As a British English speaker, I would say that 'in the street' is more common in BrE, but we do say 'on the street' as well, probably because we do use many AE phrases in everyday speech.
I have always had this problem. Some say that in the street is for the activities and on the street is for position. is this true? Please give me a hand. Thanks guys.
That sounds ok in theory - but usually people can think of examples to contradict these generalities.
Riding my bicycle on the street...which is an activity.
Where is the manhole cover? It's in the middle of the street....position.
I somewhat disagree--I think one rides a bicycle in the street, but on the pavement. Which is interesting, because one rides a bicycle on the sidewalk, not in the sidewalk. And, even worse, one drives a car on Main Street. Why do I think a bicycle uses in and a car on? No idea, it's just the way I've always said it!
At any rate, it's tricky, isn't it?
I would ride my bike on the street. "In" the street always implied a more risky endeavor, since childhood. Don't ask me why.
I wonder what the man in the street would say?
If we listen carefully, I think we'd hear him speak BE, whereas his cousin, the man on the street, would speak AE.
Try changing 'street' to 'road' and 'highway'. For me, though the vehicle may remain the same, whether bicycle or go-kart or roller-skates, the prepositions sometimes change. Curious. It seems to be more about sound and cadence than grammar.
The kids used to play games in the street.
They were not allowed to play on the road(pavement), but were told to stay on the footpath(sidewalk).
Cuchu's cadences, of course, compel me onwards.
We say "on the street" here in Minnesota, USA.
I'd also heard/read the comment that one was American and the other British. I don't remember which was which.
3) "a car parked on the other side of the street"
I wonder if one can say #2 and 4 with "in".
I don't think you can. Sure is complicated!
Hm, now the obligatory question for me is, if you heard a nonnative speaker saying "on the street" where you would have said "in" and vice versa (apart from the cases #2 and 4), would you consider it a big mistake or wouldn't you even notice it if someone didn't point it out?
1. He lives in London.
2. He lives at 34 Oxford Street.
3. His house is on Oxford Street.
4. He lives on Oxford Street.
I know the first 3 sentence are fine. How about the fourth sentence? Would you agree with the preposition 'on' in the fourth sentence?
The fourth is fine. "On" is the best choice for the sentence.
He doesn't live "at" Oxford Street, he could live "in" Oxford Street, but that can be misinterpreted to mean a down-and-out who lives in a cardboard box in a hidden-away corner.
Would you agree with the preposition 'on' in the fourth sentence?
You wouldn't use the prepostion 'on' here, would you?
It's nugatory. Countries and streets are different pair of shoes.
5. He lives at 34 Oxford Street in London.
I guess,if you want to specify the address, the fifth sentence is fine.
Would you write the fifth sentence?
My question is on the prepositions.
According to what I have been taught AmE and BrE differ in this respect. AmE would take on while BrE would take in, and thus AmE He lives on Oxford Street and BrE He lives in Oxford Street. However, if you specify the address, you indeed use at.
I'm happy with all four five.
I think the choice between in and on (in 3&4) depends on how big the street happens to be.
Oxford Street is huge. If anyone lives there, they live on Oxford Street.
Chadwick Street is short. People who live there live in Chadwick Street.
It seems to be quite subjective.
I thank everybody for the comments.
So Tony Blair lives in London.
6. Tony Blair lives at 10 Downing Street.
7. Tony Blair lives on 10 Downing Street.
The place 'number 10 Downing Street' is a spot.
So it should be the sixth sentence.
For example, we say I met him in London but I met him at Heathrow Airport. London is a huge geographical area where as the airport is a particular place though it has a mass area.
We use the preposition 'in' for a geographical area and 'at' for a spot or rather a particular place.
Would you write the seventh sentence?
I don't think you should use 10 Downing Street as an example. It is not a spot, it is the Prime Minister's official residence.
Tony lives in 10 Downing Street rather as the Queen lives in Buckingham Palace.
Queen lives in Buckingham Palace.
The above is obvious. The Palace has the three diemensional aspects.
I live in this house. The preposition 'in' should be used as it has some walls, roof, etc.
I am not satisfied with 'in Downing Street' , though.
From the perspective of a UK resident, the name "10 Downing Street" means the building we see on the news every day. It is a three-dimensional concept, not just an address.
Bill Bloggs lives at 47 Adelaide Street.
He does not live on 47 Adelaide Street.
He might say he lives on Adelaide Street, or in Adelaide Street.
I think that his choice of on/in depends on how big Adelaide Street is.
I thought everyone knew that the Blairs and the Browns have swapped - the Blairs actually live at 11 Downing Street as it was more commodious for their larger (by previous Prime Ministerial standards) family.
Is this some strange sort of BE thing? I would never say anyone lived IN any street, no matter how short or small it was.
Which would mean something on the lines of beeing homeless. However, I would use ON there as well if I felt like it.
Please read the links provided in post #8.
He lives at 34 Oxford Street.
He lives on Oxford Street.
He lives in Palace Apartments.
There are always exceptions and linguistic nuances. One could say, "John lives at that restaurant" to mean "John goes to that restaurant so often that he practically lives there"; but to say "John lives in that restaurant" would imply "John physically inhabits that restaurant."
When speaking of geographic regions, one always uses "in" since we literally mean "He lives within/inside of London" and not "He lives on top of London" or "He lives at the specific spot of London."
We have a shop on Adelaide Street.
Our shop is on Adelaide Street.
Does it really matter the size of the street?
Adelaide Street can be a small one, big one or famous one like Champs Elysee.
I stress that I am speaking BE, and perhaps more locally than that.
On is perfect if Adelaide Street is well-known for shopping.
If no one expects to find a shop there, the shop is in Adelaide Street.
Others may suggest different uses of on and in.
I'm sorry, but use of in and on in this context has no objective rule.
I'd be happy with both of them, and with "Our shop is in Adelaide Street".
The size of the street doesn't matter to me.
There used to be a difference in the understanding of what constituted a road/street/place/lane/avenue etc. but no longer. I think this might be what panjandrum is referring to.
[...]There used to be a difference in the understanding of what constituted a road/street/place/lane/avenue etc. but no longer. I think this might be what panjandrum is referring to.
If so, it is entirely sub-conscious for me.
Over here the President lives on Pennsylvania Avenue. He lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Yes, and he lives in the White House. I think Panjandrum meant that the phrase 10 Downing Street is equivalent to the White House, rather than to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Honestly, you'd think the idiot would manage to say what he meant first time instead of needing to be interpreted.
I'll have a word with him and tell him to try harder in future.
Is it because of the usege difference between British and American that these two types are equally frequently used?
Yes, I think so. Our visitors from the US will say "Is the monastery on Albeq Street?" and the British ones will say, "Is the monastery in Albeq street?"
I wonder if "in the street" can mean "in the middle of the street, in the traffic lanes" in both AE and BE?
The preposition depends on the meaning of the sentence.
The word on the street is that Tom is dealing drugs.
The graffiti painted on the street . . . .
The car was parked on the side of the street.
Jane was standing in the street crying and calling for her lost dog.
The water in the street was waist deep.
What is the sentence you need help with?
1)the building facing the street. The Opera House is ( ) the X street.
2)There are musicians ( ) the street.
To my way of thinking a person who is on the street is basically living on the street.
To be in the street is to visit the street for a short period.
But there is an AE BE difference I think.
The car was parked in the street.
So, it seems we only use "on" for the the "word on the street" (although I may not have thought of an example of "on" of course).
Yes, I meant on the road surface.
Oh, we'd probably call that "street art" here!
I would agree with this. I worked with a project called on the street and into work which was about getting homeless people off the streets, into work and then into housing.

Q: HTML and CSS modal box faded background issue I'm using this modal box made from html and css on my website. It turns out fine for the main part, but I'm having a problem with the background fade.
It somehow only fades the background on the part of the site that appears over the position of the box (in the code). I'm using ID's to identify sections of the site (which is a one-page site) for the links in the menu. All sections that are below the section that contains the modal box, doesn't get faded.

Friends to foes: Courtney Cox and Lisa Kudrow face off on new game show 25 Words Or Less
Alex McLevy
Filed to:Friends
Screenshot: Edward Staley (YouTube)
Not since Monica and Phoebe faced off over whether the latter should be performing in front of the former's restaurant have we seen Courtney Cox and Lisa Kudrow gone head to head in such a brutal manner: At least, that's probably the sort of attention new game show 25 Words Or Less is hoping for when it brings the two Friends stars together for a mini reunion, then pits them against each other and demands we choose sides, Alien Vs. Predator-style.
Deadline reports Fox's new game show, based on the board game of the same name, will kick off later this month with the Cox-Kudrow matchup being the highest-profile lineup among the many celebrity guests slated to appear. While we regret to inform you that there will be no visits from Joey, Chandler, Rachel, or Ross—not even a Gunther, either!—the announced guests include Chelsea Handler, Chris Noth, Oscar Nunez, Margaret Cho, Rick Fox, Lea Thompson, Mary McCormack, Natalie Morales, Loni Love, Penn Jillette, Pete Holmes, and more.
If you've never played it, 25 Words Or Less has a pretty simple premise: two teams each have one member look at a card with five words on it, and then those two players bid back and forth over how many clue words they'd need to get their team to guess all five words, starting at 25 and bidding down. So, like a cross between Pyramid and Family Feud, kind of, but with the heart-stopping excitement of watching famous people yell numbers at each other first. Frankly, we're not terribly shocked about the Phoebe-Monica matchup; Kudrow helped develop the show, and the showdown with her old costar is timed to the 25th anniversary of Friends. You can see "The One With The Game Show Reunion" when 25 Words Or Less premieres September 16 on Fox.

ALBANY, N.Y. — New York State's mask mandate has been extended.
According to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, the mandate has been extended to Feb. 1, 2022. The mandate was originally put into effect on Dec. 13 and was intended to continue until Jan. 15, 2022; however, the state has since extended that date in response to rising COVID-19 cases.
At this time, masks are not required at businesses or venues that have a vaccine requirement.
"I want to give everybody the heads up that this will continue just two more weeks beyond what we had originally planned," Hochul said. "Again, being very willing to reassess, hoping that the picture is much more positive in February. But again, we just don't have that information right now."
During a COVID-19 update Friday morning, Hochul stressed the importance of wearing a KN95 mask saying it is a "better, more effective mask." This was a topic that was discussed in great detail two days earlier in Erie County's COVID-19 update.
On Wednesday, Erie County Commissioner of Health Dr. Gale Burstein said because the omicron variant of COVID-19 is two to three times more transmissible, it requires higher quality masks to reduce the risk of infection. Burstein went on to say that some situations have a higher level of risk of infection and require a better, more protective mask. These situations may include forms of public transportation, when someone is taking care of someone with COVID-19, and being out in public.
"And it's just not any cloth mask," Burstein said. "We need to have certain criteria in a mask that's effective. First of all, you want to try to get a mask that is the highest grade quality like a KN95, a KN94 — something that is very high quality. Or double mask — wear a disposable mask and a cloth mask. Get as high quality as you can. Also, you want the mask to fit your face really well."
Hochul says New York State is making sure these masks are available to everyone. As of Friday, Hochul says the state already sent 5 million KN95 masks to counties across New York. The governor went on to say that New York is also giving KN95 masks to state legislators who in turn will give the masks to local community centers, senior centers and places of worship. Hundreds of thousands of masks will also be given to nursing homes for visitors.
Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz said Wednesday that the county plans on distributing 400,000 KN95 masks starting this week.
The Erie County Department of Health will be giving out the masks at COVID-19 test sites and vaccine clinics. In addition, the county's social services and senior services departments will be handing out masks along with the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library branches, municipal emergency managers, local nonprofit agencies, and houses of worship.
"We now know that masks are important - they're an important line of defense," Hochul said.
