completely polarizes society and nobody give no fucks about each other but their own voter group

old farts will vote for anyone that makes their pensions higher, boomers will vote for anyone that isn't going to endanger their current wealth

1) Democracies always work, unless the Government is corrupt. What many people like to do, is to blame democracy for their country's problems, while they should be blaming the Government(s) they elected.
2) Solving these problems isn't as simple as you would like it to be, nor as simple as you think it is. No ruler in human history has ever been able to solve all problems of the society. Therefore, for these problems to be solved, the society needs a leader who can actually do their job. And here comes the question, who knows if they can do their job correctly? The answer to this question, is the SOCIETY, because it is it which has to deal with social problems. And what is society made up of? The people. Therefore the people should elecr their leaders.
3) Individual Freedom should always be attainable, but could also be restrained when it threatens the nation - but that's under extreme circumstances that we yet haven't witnessed.

@Draško Letting students vote for their teachers is a democratic procedure, but no Democratic system has ever done that.

The example you gave is purposefully full of flaws.

of course, i'm making an analogy as to how silly democracy is

when a voter votes, he doesn't have the best interest of society in his mind

only his own self interest

The analogy is false.

it is a bit of a stretch i'll be fair but you see the same line of thinking in voting for the president

I have to get to class, I'll get to you soon

if you gave the students the right to vote for their teacher, they'd vote for the one that gives the highest grade for the least bit of work

voters in a democracy think along the same principles, they don't care about the survival of the state or the people inside it.

if there was a candidate that promised to give all hobos housing and food for life at the expense of the rich i can bet you every single hobo would vote for him

@Koninos you realize that democracy isn't democratic, right? There is no way to best represent the will of the people when you have two factions that are loyal more to donors than they are to the People because every x number of years there's a peaceful revolution (election) that destroys the progress that was made under one side of the kosher sandwich

Serious political discussion is intellectual masturbation. Embrace retardation as the only serious way forward

Before you say this is a shitpost, I’m being 100% serious

I agree

I wholeheartedly support acting like an actual downy when confronted with any form of degeneracy

tard screech against the modern world

Thank you

They are fighting a war for your mind

But they cannot win if you have lost your mind

precisely

they will not try to conquer what they see as unworthy to conquer

No

Just be monkey

You misunderstand monkey

no yeah that's the point

if you are a tard they leave you alone

and then you win because of your tard strength

Good

@Charlie H. Inkie in a way i agree with you

the only way to make change is to do the dumb thing in a political environment

because the masses are generally dumb and don't care about any high intellectual discussion

@Koninos Democracy institutionalises corruption. A ruler providing resources and privileges vastly disproportionately to his loyalists is usually considered corrupt historically, but that's the expectation with democracy, we just don't consider it corruption in the same way.

The main reason it seems less corrupt is because both systems are judged by different standards - with monarchic or oligarchic systems judged more harshly, or recategorising corruption as part of the benefit, eg. benefiting the majority (but this is rarely synonymous with benefiting the nation generally)

It’s more than that

I’m going to be a smartoid here for a moment

But when politicians get on stage, it’s not to inform the public, but to use sophistry to manipulate them into supporting globohetero

We would learn just as much as if they were to get up there and make monkey noises
