> lockstep forward Those words are the problem. Why even have a democratic system if everything is done in “lockstep”? Moreover, “forward” is a highly opinionated term. Perhaps we can all, in lockstep, take a Great Leap Forward. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Leap_Forward https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Leap_Forward

Coordination and shared purpose are often good things actually. I'm so tired of people decrying any pursuit of consensus and collective action as tyranny, it's intellectually lazy and just leads to further atomization.

  Voluntary coordination and shared purpose are great things. Otherwise, all the “forward” and “shared purpose” euphemisms do not change the fact that you have a tyrannical system, nor do the “intellectually lazy” ad hominems.

    Uninformed or misinformed people can make choices against their own interests, such is MAGA. Facts and physical primary reality matter more than ones opinion, but we paint the sun on the sky and order the tides to recede to please the king anyway. An informed populace can make informed decisions. Lying fake news not so much... Aka $50million for condoms in Gaza is a lie. Alternative facts will bite us all when the pedal hits the metal.

    > Voluntary coordination and shared purpose are great things. To an extent. We can never have 100% agreement. For example, we would still have Polio if the anti-science squad hadn't been forced to go along with the plan. At the risk of sounding "elitist", fifty-four percent of Americans now read below the sixth grade level. We should not let their inability to function in the modern world keep our entire society functioning at or below the sixth grade level.
