> Democracy is having all your authorities under scrutiny and control by the people. It's hard. Agreed. The population needs to be at a point where it can handle the responsibility of having discernment. They need to see beyond the illusions spun by those who wish to suppress the mind. > Imagine a country where corporations can't sponsor political campaigns. Or where surveillance isn't monitored by secret courts applying secret laws. That would be wonderful! I hope we get there soon. These are basic tools used to keep the current systems in power. The people who wish to dominate us will use technology to keep people enslaved in the current 9-7, pay you taxes, buy lots of things, spend your life commuting, live the generic American Dream, don't decide what your actual dream is, culture. My opinion; the system is run by intelligent and malevolent souls who make the money, impose culture, have massive influence, & power. If they are hell bent on dominion, do you think they want to allow transparency in how decisions are made? IMO, that will never happen with the current structure. They will simply take "Democracy" and redefine it to what we see today. I think we agree that it's up to the people to take their power back. > Democracy isn't black or white, it's always a shade of gray. I hear that. However, there are still dualities at play. We can go in different directions. Toward thriving or toward death.
