Democracy is incompatible with freedom by definition, it's the dictatorship of the majority over the minority.
Especially in a time where controlling public opinion is just a matter of running targeted ad campaigns on social medias and buying newspapers and tv stations.
If we like freedom we need to get rid of power centralisation, as much as possible, and give back the power to the individual by removing as many laws as possible and relying on privatisation and decentralisation.
But there is no one left to fight in the western world, everybody is glued to their smartphone and we're doomed to become the next China.
- torben-friis 1y agoThe people doing the public opinion control you mention are powerful private interests. What makes you think those people would be any less dangerous to your freedom when unbounded by law?
- the_gipsy 1y ago> it's the dictatorship of the majority over the minority. That's very naïve.
- uncircle 1y agoYeah; it's even worse than that.
