Don't be naive. Who do you pay your taxes to? What are they used for? Anything you voted they were used for? Who is responsible for the franklyeducation systems? High crime? How much money is on your paycheck vs what your company makes from you? I'm not even bringing up child labour in some of these "democracies".
Why is it that these "democratic" governments have failed to protect my savings in the financial crisis, ant not only that, but have sunk more billions of public funds into paying bonuses so the people responsible for them could manage to come out on top? Is that not an oligarchy? Is that not preferential treatment? Where are the interests of the man on the street represented?
When "democratic" governments dragged everyone in a war in Iraq and Afganistan despite massive popular protests were they serving your interests? Or those of Blackwater, Colt, Boeing and Co? Do you not see that what you are so fervently attacking is already almost here. It just has a different name.
If voting made any difference it'd be illegal. I care if I'm being pushed around and told what to do. Which is why I change countries as often as I do. I don't like the feeling of anyone watching my life, and I value my independence.Originally Posted by Beskar
Also I have lived in enough democracies to know that they are not better in any way than any other system. It all depends on the person in power, not the structure of it. I'm yet to see a "true democracy and fair system of government" where people like me actually get to have an opinion that even gets put to a vote. When that happens I will consider changing my mind.
Well, I, for one, think that your lack of manners is not something to be proud of.Yes it is.
