When you realize that in a democracy the poorest don't vote at all and that we are represented by millionaires, it all seems so pointless to vote.
Self determination my ass.
- colechristensen 5y agoDemocratic process isn’t coming to conclusions I agree with -> democracy is a scam -> an authoritarian solution is required because I’m more correct than everyone else It seems like too many people only have ideals about politics when those ideals result in everyone agreeing with them. Otherwise the whole thing is a rigged scam and not worth the time.

- gruez 5y ago>a technocratic solution that meets the needs of the burgeoning disenfranchised population is required because the degree of inequality that we're dealing with is creating severe social conflicts I'm sure that the non-elected technocrats wouldn't be susceptible to the "represented by millionaires" problem that you bemoaned about earlier.
- colechristensen 5y agoExactly. Technocrats are just oligarchs branding themselves as smarter than everybody else.
