> I didn't argue against democracy. I argued against putting the population on a pedestal. Please note that democracy literally is the rule of the people. You simply cannot state that you are not arguing against democracy and in next breath say that people should not be on its pedestal, because, theoretically, people are its ruling class. If it is a democracy, people are on its pedestal. That is the main weakness of democracy. People, as a whole, are idiots. Your issue appears to be with commonly held beliefs that are not your beliefs. But that is a very different discussion. > And as a citizen who fully supports restrictions in response to a pandemic - IMO the government can't require you to get vaccinated. But you can't demand to be allowed into nightclubs and cruise ships while unvaccinated. Fair? I have zero problem with that statement.
