I was first introduced to Anarcho Tyranny in a little known article “about “Defund the Police in Real Time: Collapse of Law Enforcement“. Interested in the concept of Anarcho Tyranny I investigated a little further. The best resource I found on Anarcho Tyranny is “Anarcho-Tyranny, U.S.A.” July 1994 by Samuel Francis. In addition to anarcho-tyranny, radical chic and defining delinquency down are two other concepts that fit nicely together.
Radical Chic
Tom Wolfe first coined the phrase “Radical Chic” in an article in the New York Magazine, “Radical Chic: That Party at Lenny’s“. Grok neatly summarizes the concept: “Radical chic refers to the phenomenon where affluent or elite individuals adopt and glamorize radical political causes or revolutionary aesthetics, often superficially, to signal moral superiority or cultural sophistication without genuine commitment or risk“.
Defining Deviancy Down
The best source for Defining Deviancy Down is by Patrick Moynihan in an article by the same name. Grok summarizes Defining Deviancy Down as “It describes a process where society lowers its standards for what constitutes deviant behavior, normalizing actions once considered unacceptable. As behaviors previously seen as abnormal or criminal become tolerated, the threshold for “deviance” shifts, and society adjusts its expectations and policies accordingly.“
Finally I asked Grok to compare and contrast anarcho-tyranny, radical chic, and defining delinquency down and this was the RESPONSE
