Kakistocracy
From Falsipedia
Origin of Kakistocracy
Kakistocracy is a form of government in which all who are governed are required to wear Khaki clothing. This mass uniformism was seen as a way to unify and conquer the will and spirit of the people as a whole. First developed in the 1800's by the British armed forces who needed a way to break the will of the native residents in what was known as British India, now part of Pakistan. They decided to use a new textile called Khaki, developed in Mangalore a province of India proper, that consisted of a course durable fabric that was very drab and earth colored. The correct shade of "Khaki" is the color of "Multani Mitti", meaning "the mud of Multan". Multan was a well known military cantonment of British India. The British excursion into textile fascism ultimately failed, but the concept was picked-up by several other countries for use in their armed forces units. The uniform concept and durable material was an economical way to break the will of the individual and develop the ideal soldier persona.
Modern Kakistocracy
It wasn't until the late 1980's and early 1990's when the concept of one nation under Khakis would once again rear its ugly head. This time the concept was embraced by commercialism and not tied to any known government. The Khakis movement as it was called, was led by the Levi Strauss company under the guise of Dockers. The goal was to unify the white collared worker under one business casual flag. The concept quickly developed a strong strangle hold, especially on the American Public, mainly due to the clever changing from the traditional Khaki color, to a wider variety of colors, mainly a slight variation in the shade of brown. The design of the pant was kept the same in order to keep the uniform look which made the owners of several large businesses stand up and take notice. Such corporations included Target, Best Buy, and most recently the supper juggernaut, Wal-Mart, have all joined the Khakis movement. It now appears that the dream of Unity through Trousers may soon be realized as the rapidly growing commercial movement, powered by slick advertising, is slowly converting the world work force into walking automatons of commercialism, with one unified mind, focused solely on the bottom line
