We constantly bang on about democracy. But think about it, it is the ultimate form of violence — the will of one group suppressing another, just because it is larger.
Take the UK, we have democracy (allegedly) — we have a rabid socialist government .... despite roughly 4/5 of the people not voting for Labour. That IS NOT democracy.
It looks like we are about to get a new PM, a man with an at best "patchy" record of achievement. Based on him winning a backwater by-election on 3/10 of the votes. That is hardly a resounding mandate!!!
The current system oppresses the majority with policy and taxation. We are bombarded with DEI, ESG, minority representation propaganda by a state media and press .... all whilst being cowed into silence by socially engineered outrage peddlers or police action.
Nah, the UK is not a democracy. Never has been.
