Domocracy my ass! I know for a fact that vast majority of the population wants to pay less taxes, get their money's worth after paying whatever it is they're paying and be left the fuck alone. Even them leftists would agree in principle. So how are we living in democracy?!

@ThatCrazyDude democracy is selecting the color of the laces of the boot on your neck.
we don't even have freedom of speech, because words are literal violence now! how can there be legitimate democracy while being robbed AND gagged? it's utterly insane.
@ThatCrazyDude not sure i'd want a hegemon, but at least those usually were quite aware that their head will eventually end on a stake if they do too much shit.
@bonifartius at the very least you only had one family of parasites to feed
@ThatCrazyDude @bonifartius Maybe intelect of people doesn't have to do with our predicament as much as tribal instincts which are hackable and being manipulated by skilled psychologist (disciples of Bernays). People not as easily manipulated are alpha males, autistic individuals.... Collectivism is on both sides of political spectrum.
@bonifartius pretty much how I see it, yeah. And the funny thing is that I'm pretty darn sure even Plato, the original democracy guy would agree 100% and at this point he'd be, like, fuck this shit, we need a hegemon!
And yeah, I've read Plato while sober lol
