We need direct democracy tbh.
Democracy: Dictatorship of the majority. Mob rule.
Yes, and that's good. How's your aristocratic pseudo-democracy, authored by elites (possibly slavers, depending on your country) who feared real democracy and passed down your present system, doing for you and the world?
Like, do you really look at how there's massive popular consensus to fight climate change, have better healthcare systems, stop genocidal wars, all of which your aristocratic politicians ignore, and then say "We need less democracy because muh mob rule"??
The capitalist class, Walter Lippmann, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Trilateral Commission’s The Crisis of Democracy would be proud (emphasis mine):
Game theory would like a word.
Considering the smallest non-fragmented group has resulted in the current 2-party system in most western countries, and results in tribalistic xenophobia, I'm quite content stating democracy is not the egalitarianism it is purported to be.
And I quite resent the insinuation I'm a lapdog.
