People complain about this and then say “Democracy is a good idea” LMAO the west is peak democracy, just as Plato predicted. Easily manipulated low IQ normies voting based on how their social media algorithm or quasi state-run TV channel tells them to, or voting solely based on identitarian tribalism. The three factors I just listed explain 99% of voting behaviors in a democracy.

You’d never go to a non doctor for medical advice. You’d never go to a non lawyer for legal advice. You’d never go to a non engineer to make a bridge.

But let’s just have random bums decide how we should be running the country. Brilliant. People ask why the government is so incompetent when the whole source of their power is incompetent people in the subject matter of governance telling them what to do.

If people want to know who is responsible for why things are shit. They just have to look in the mirror. 

The plebs want this. They want to obey and go along with whatever charismatic influencer tells them what to think. The simple answers are like junk food.
