  • E.g. the UK is seen as a “democracy”

    It’s basically as bad as USA, and also a dysfunctional democracy. They even had the chance to change that in a public vote, and the idiots voted against it!!

    A FAIR democracy is a democracy where all interest groups can have representation, although you typically have a lower limit of 2-5% vote to get representation.
    And where every vote is counted equally, so a vote in 1 end of the country counts as much for representation as a vote in the other end.
    And representation is according to the populous vote and nothing else.

    My perspective is that I don’t see democracy as any more virtuous than authoritarianism as a political system when elected officials aren’t serving the people’s interests.

    Well technically it isn’t really a democracy then, because their job is to serve their constituents.
    Of course the worse the democracy the more that can be the case. And USA is a very bad democracy.
    Still even that was way better than not having democracy until the Republicans went full blown sociopathic, and was still rewarded government power.
    Something I suspect will only happen in a very bad democracy without equal democratic representation by minor parties.



  • Communism is one of the systems we know for sure demonstrably is worse for the general populace than democracy.
    Others are Patriarchy and dictatorship.

    Although for 50 years Americans have fucked up their democracy so badly, it’s beginning to look like it doesn’t matter.
    But that is only until democracy is overturned, THEN it will show that democracy is obviously superior to the authoritarian dictatorship that is likely to come after.
    Even a dysfunctional democracy like the American is better than any of the 3 mentioned above!

    What would be better would be to strengthen democracy, and improve protections of citizens, and regulate capitalism better.
    All of those are best done with a functioning democracy like for instance the Scandinavian model that is based on Social Demoracy.






  • If you think this is bad, it’s actually just a small taste of what’s to come, when MAGA has turned USA into a full fledged dictatorship.
    What Americans are experiencing now is PEANUTS, compared to what they are risking if they don’t act.

    Bye bye democracy = bye bye freedom.
    And on top of that, fascism will be extremely harmful to the American economy, and normal people will suffer a dramatic downturn in available income, as power is concentrated 100% among the rich.

    Best hopes and wishes to the Americans that stand up for democracy.





  • USA is a totalitarian state now, ruled by a government with zero regard for the law, it’s only a matter of time before people begin to fall out of windows like in Russia.

    But apparently a lot of Americans are fine with that? The country and people that used to stand for democracy, freedom and human rights, is becoming a fascist regime, that supports Russia and is undermining NATO and economic and democratic allies. And is even blatantly disregarding constitutional rights for the people living in USA.

    I wonder if there is a point where this madness ends, but unfortunately I can’t see it. 😐



  • Yes even in death he was disgusting.
    But more seriously, why are leading democrats so eager to say this was wrong? Which of course for normal circumstances it is.
    But these are not normal circumstances, and do democratic politicians think they still can use democratic standards to debate and reason and talk the extreme right down from systemic violence against minorities, when the MAGA crowd has destroyed democracy in USA and there are no remotely fair elections?
    Democrats continue to behave as if things are normal. But they are not! And even if they were, it’s madmen like Charlie Kirk that are the reason USA has so much terrorism, and school shootings.
    Also by Charlie Kirk’s own statements, he was perfectly OK with being a shooting victim, and that some people must die for the rights of the 2nd amendment.
    It’s not disgusting, it’s poetic justice.
