What you have today is an illusion of the freedom and the "equal and impartial justice under the law".

- a3n 13y agoYou're probably right. I think the Feinstein/CIA spying episode currently unfolding shows that the intelligence services have flipped the fuckit bit, and they don't even try to make it look like they're subject to Congressional oversight. They do still say they're subject, which I guess is something; they just don't try hard anymore to hide what they do.
- whatevsbro 13y ago> They do still say they're subject, which I guess is something Nope, it's meaningless. What else are they going to say? "It's exactly what it looks like! We just don't give a fuck about you or your rights, and in fact, we're an important part of the police state springing up all around you. When you're thinking of rebelling, remember we know where you live, where you are, and pretty much everything else about you! Stay in line, peasant!" That would be fairly accurate, but they're not going to say it. Doesn't the propaganda just keep going anyway, even in North-Korea?
- Houshalter 13y agoNo, there isn't. Democracy might not be great, but it is orders of magnitude better than not-democracy. The main function of democracy is to keep true tyrants out of power, and it's very effective at that.
- collyw 13y agoI would call the system in UK, US more of an elected dictatorship than a democracy, as the politicians are not representing anyone other than their corporate buddies.
