Democratic governments are literally incapable of committing to long term plans going beyond 4 years. Democracy, by its nature, has no future.
>>
>>532219464
people who use social media a lot simply are presented with plenty of evidence why democracy with universal voting right is a failed experiment

You moron that's literally just a correlation with age

>>532220110
more than that, it would be counterproductive for politicians to actually think beyond the next 4 years

We have water tunnel projects that take 50 years to complete. Maybe the problem is the way we conduct our democracy? Like billions of dollars spent on campaign ads just to attack the other candidate....how is that not corrosive to the moral fabric of society?

There is no democracy under capitalism. Especially under late stage capitalism where choice is an illusion and the candidates are all pre-selected puppets for special interest groups.
>>
>>532220546
True democracy has never been tried
>>
>>532219464
anything is better than going back to feudalism
democracy is fine, because:
>at least we have two nepobabies from two different streams, who have other low-level nepobabies working for them and making decisions for them.
(this also depends on what country you're from)
>Modern capitalism allows, perhaps not for individual success, but if you make the effort, you can invest in generational success: be the first generation to accumulate wealth and inherit it; then your children will be the second generation to accumulate wealth and inherit; by the third generation, you'll have a nephew if all goes well; in the worst-case scenario, by the fourth generation, at least this family will have improved its economic status and social standing.
under feudalism, this was impossible.

Imagine having a king who inherited the throne at 15, and nothing changes, absolutely no improvements, and everything gets worse until this king dies, an entire generation ruined by having a stupid king.
At least nowadays there's a change of power.

The websites aren't doing anything to influence your opinion on this matter other than exposing you to the opinions of the average voter. The more time you spend around other people, the more you realize "holy shit, everyone is retarded" and either want a government where you are the dictator, or a total lack of government.

>No finance capitalism
>No export of capital
>No import of labor
>No private equity
>Companies can not buy stakes in another in another company
>Companies are worth what they product themselves.

>>532219464
more like interacting with average voter more makes you doubt democracy. Still superior to autocracies tho
>>
>>532219464
All this points to ks that, the more people you interact with
People used to think democracy was god because they unly interacted with like 30 people on their day to day and it was people of a similar background to them and usually friends and family.
Once you have access to mass ammounts of thoughts of your fellow countrymen, you realize that any form of government "by the people" is going to be fucking retarded.
Plus there is the problem mentioned by >>532220110 where the current widespread form of democracy of 4 year terms is flawed by default. A system with longer terms but where kicking the rulers mid-term is easy would be much better to keep the rulers in check but give them more space to think long term.
>>
>>532219464
Democracy is basically rule of the majority. In a republic you have your god given rights that nobody can take away. I would be satisfied if market anarchism could be implemented in society kek

All those things exist to make the market more stable by offering ways you can hedge against volatility or the opposite direction of your main investment.

>>532221632
Nigger there's no such thing as rights. Get a grip. Best we can do is have leaders who take pride in their country and its people. Democracy is incapable of providing that. In order to be a good leader you need to:

1) Be wealthy enough to be above bribing
2) Be guaranteed power so you don't need to beg in elections every 4 years
3) Be born and raised for the position

What system does that sound like to you? Sounds like Monarchy to me.

Democracy has always been a shit ideology, which is why the founding fathers made our country a republic and not a garbage democracy. The USA's decline can be traced back when the individual was given the right to vote.
>>
>>532221779
>1) Be wealthy enough to be above bribing
There is no such thing. There are lots of studies showing that extreme wealth reshapes how your brain works in a way that resembles that of a clinically diagnosed psychopath. Having a lot of money just makes people not consider regular people as human beings.
The only actual way to be above bribing is to be morally righteous, a set of values you actually follow and not be materialistic, so basically the complete opposite of the type of person that our current world promotes and gives power to.

All you're saying is that might is right. Rights from God exist in the way that a powerful weapon gives you the right not to get killed by a feral lunchtime rowdie. Government grants privileges in exchange for forfeiture of sovereignty then calls those privileges rights to induce cognitive dissonance in neurotypicals of low to middling IQ.

Ok, so what? They've been at the ruse long enough to keep from being killed by a maligned, solitary noticer and whatever group of Cosmic Crisp havers he can bring with him.

In my state, if you own 1 acre of land you are probably paying $15,000 a year in property taxes on it, and you cannot legally own I firearm.

It's not programming. It's quite the opposite.
It's DEprogramming.
Social Media has killed the lie that Democracy needs.
"The average voter is as smart as me."

EVERYONE who uses social media, even the morons, looks around and realizes they're surrounded by fuckwits.
Even absolute retards will look around and say "how the fuck are these people so dumb?"
Democracy only thrives as a concept, not as a government but as an ideal, when people believe everyone is sensible.
When everyone realizes the people around them are fucking imbeciles they also realize that letting these people have any say in governance is doomed to be just as stupid as they are.
This dooms the concept of democracy.

And the practice of democracy is doomed when people realize that voting doesn't do shit and we just have an incredibly inefficient dictatorship.

Democracy is rule by psychopaths that gaslight the normie civilians that they have the power

I have no idea what democracy is since voting literally does nothing and only counterproductive agendas that hurt average people to enable to the Epstein class and their shabbos house niggers are ever enacted.

Democracy is a stupid fucking concept for stupid fucking people. How is Democracy supposed to work when you have every flavor of nigger with the most evil fucks in society in charge in a race of who can be the biggest victim and who can steal the most from everyone else?

On a State level, the state government literally does the opposite of whatever the voters have voted for since I can remember and the voting here hasn't been real for almost 30 years. On a Federal level, the US government only works for jews and their niggers. So what the fuck even is a Democracy? A bunch of people who look like me and think like me getting together to create a better future? The government has spent the last 20+ years telling me that's evil. So what is it? jews and their niggers telling everyone else how it's going to be? Fuck that.

Then secondly, what are you trying to accomplish?

Lastly, ask yourself, why does democracy even exist?


Power rules. The weak suffer what they must.

>So the solution is a one party state?
Paradoxically, a one-party state is often preferable because the government is considered illegitimate. James Madison actually had a discussion with Thomas Jefferson about this very topic. James Madison, if you aren't aware, was one of the founding fathers of the United States, and often referred to as the "Father of the Constitution" because his "Virginia Plan" was the framework for the US Constitution.

https://teachingamericanhistory.org/document/letter-to-thomas-jefferson-9/

The relevant part is pic-related...

Thus, the great irony of tyrannical governments is that they are always weak. This limits their ability to act. As Abraham Lincoln said, "In this country, public sentiment is everything. With it, nothing can fail; against it, nothing can succeed. Whoever molds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes, or pronounces judicial decisions."
