There's nothing wrong with being skeptical of Democracy, as people have been since Ancient Greece. More recently there's the famous Churchill quote, "Democracy is the worst form of government, except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time."
- pavlov 3y agoIt's good to be skeptical of how democracy is implemented and executed at any given time. (IMHO Americans in particular should be much more skeptical of their 18th century constitution rather than treat it as scripture.) It's not good to be knee-jerk skeptical of everything that defined the post-WWII rules-based international system while idolizing billionaire founders and their corporate power. We had some good things figured out by the 1990s. It wasn't the proverbial "end of history" but IMO we need more of the cooperative spirit and respect for human rights that got us there, not less.
