[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks to the internet we can see that authoritarians can actually get things done, while in democracies every election, every budget cycle, every little thing becomes an existential crisis.

China gets high-speed rail and we get to see Union Station turn into a homeless shelter. Until democracies start delivering again, you're going to have people checking out other people's grass. [/quote]
You don’t have a passport do you. You’ve never traveled beyond Canada and Cancun, Mexico when passports weren’t required. [/quote]

No one cares to refute the fact that democracy isn't delivering anymore? Just going to keep pretending that problem doesn't exist? Owning the authoritarians one homeless camp at a time? [/quote]

Since you're making these big sweeping statements, let's discuss what is that democracy you're talking about. Because we aren't really living in democracy, there's no real separation of church and state, we are ruled by a bunch of oligarchs buying up politicians. Yes this "democracy" isn't delivering because it is the main cause of those homeless camps. Instead of addressing the real issue of money in politics and institutionalized corruption your solution is to surrender completely all the freedoms you might still have because of, you know, homeless camps.

Real Democracy hasn't been tried yet, amiright?

So what exactly are you arguing here? We can't have an authoritarian because we like our oligarchy too much? [/quote]
