I live in the UK buddy! Here is what I see of democracy, UK PM, voted in by less than 100k pensioners, at the same time, outside my office here in London we have a church that operates as a food bank! Tell me, who is being disingenuous at this stage? People who just cry democracy as Casus Belli to destroy their own city (heck even other people's countries), or would you rather try to look for the actual underlying problems? From what I've seen, democracy is certainly not doing a good job at that. Brainwashed, yeah, I agree with Mark Twaine: If You Don’t Read the Newspaper You Are Uninformed, If You Do Read the Newspaper You Are Misinformed That quote about the misinformed part is certainly true in the west (or at least the UK where I live).

Thanks for answering the other poster about where you're living. He shouldn't have accused you of being coerced or paid, but he was as polite as possible about it. Here on HN, we usually tell each other when we have some involvement with a topic we're discussing. For example if we own stock in a company we're discussing, or when we work for a company or its compititor. This helps us judge each other's comments. Would you make a statement about whether you do or don't work for China (including through a shell company). I am not accusing you of anything, I'd just like to understand your comments better.
