As an example is the most recent movement concerning the "gay rights"
issues. While it is that I am a proponent of the use of that mechanism
to achieve desired results, I must observe that this was an great
example of the use in a topical sense, being that many other aspects of
that designed mechanism were entirely ignored in the want of a desired
result for a very limited part of the population. Again, without
regard to the peripheral ramifications to even that mechanism itself.
This isn't to argue that one "agenda" should be concerned of the effect
to another "agenda" in respect to it's own desired outcome. This is
only to say that in transcending, transgressing the outline and design
of the existing mechanism through many, rather rudimentary tactics, is
to actually be a detriment even to itself in the longer context.
This then lends to a form of political desperation which develops,
causing then the remnants of a given example "agenda" to then
compromise themselves, and in that then compromise further the aspects
of that healthier governing mechanism in the effort to maintain some
perceived political dominance and control.
This as well is not intended to be an argument against motivating
people through emotion. Emotion is and always has been a great tool
for politics and change. It is to point out the short term want
somehow becoming more of a priority than is the long term effect of any
political movement and agenda.
Is it then possible that through the application and use of these
"instant agendas" and the resulting parabolic dynamic in sooner than
later becoming dependent upon a larger political body, that eventually
the entirety of the mechanism used to govern could be inhibited
permanently?
Is it rather just a facet to be expected in the modern day given the
multiple layered effect of "selling one thing out to gain another." Is
it to be expected that the larger more dominant interests in any given
situation, will eventual come to hold the political sway of a given
"agenda" as it results in "burn out" within that immediate want of
success? Rendering that immediate more emotional "agenda" nothing more
than a tool, in effect, to larger more cumbersome interests which
eventually then impose greater limitations where once was the desire
for greater freedoms?
Is it that said immediate wants in social movements can only be
expected to play the role of such "upstart" capacity within the
designed motion of "progressive corruptions?"
