how, in a democracy, are we still getting politics wrong? the easiest thing in the world for a mind: support the honest. support policies good for our commons.
the fact that we fucked up democracy is proof we do not deserve democracy.
at least in china the political terrorist party is doing renewables. what are we doing? obliterating the very land with unconditional approvals for fast track mining projects.
literally destroying the country.
who elected this? names and addresses. go.
@falcennial Sometimes it's difficult to get rid of a system that makes democracy worse, and the US has a few of those. Capitalism and democracy are not the natural state of human civilisations, feudalism and monarchy are. We need to actually shape the tools we use to keep being democratic.
@falcennial Perhaps feudalism is the natural state of capitalism :) You're right though.
@pies I take your point, but those precursor systems aren't any more natural than the current ones, or the preceding ones of tribalism and food scarcity. but you make a good point, the shit is work and we are not doing it or letting anyone who can do it.
