Demagogus

Demagogus (Francice demagogue > Graeco demos 'populus, vulgus' + ago 'ferre'), vel plebicola^[1] vel publicola,^[2] est dux civilis in democratia qui animi motus, timores, praeiudicatas opiniones, et ignorantiam inferiorum classium socioeconomicarum provocat ut potestatem capiat et propositis civilibus faveat. Demagogi ad discrimen civitatis tractandum deliberationi plerumque adversantur et actionem proximam et aliquando violentam suadent; adversarios moderatos et providos infirmos vel etiam debiles appellant. Demagogi in democratiis post tempus democratiae Athenarum antiquarum oriuntur. Prima infirmitate democratiae abutuntur: quia populis est potestas ultima, nihil prohibet ne populi hanc tradant potestatem homini qui improbissimos allicit.

Exemplum saeculi vicensimi: Iosephus McCarthy[recensere | fontem recensere]

Senator Iosephus McCarthy, demagogus Americanus.

Iosephus McCarthy^[3]^[4]^[5] fuit Senator Civitatum Foederatarum ex civitate Visconsinia ab 1947 ad mortem, anno 1957. Quamquam orator debilis,^[6]^[7] innotuit in Civitatibus Foederatis annis 1950 ineuntibus, aetate ex eo Aetas McCarthyana aliquando appellata, cum neglegenter et ferociter pronuntiaret locos altos in republica et militia Civitatum Foederatarum communistis infestos^[8] fuisse,^[9] secundum Terrorem Rubrum augens. Ad ultimum, ab Eduardo R. Murrow aliisque fortibus scriptoribus actorum et politicis provocatus, quia documenta eius affirmationum dare non potuit, notatus est a Senatu anno 1954, et gratiam etiam apud homines inscitos mox amisit.^[10]
