This is why democracy is doomed to failure.

Democracy? We don't directly vote to choose our own way through life. We elect "representatives".

what's the alternative? I'm actually curious

A good education system with good funding.

Education is an alternative to democracy?

Either you don't get it or you're being intentionally obtuse.

Education is kind of required for a democracy to function effectively in this new age of global communication. Where previously every village had an idiot, now every idiot has a village, And without good education and good critical thinking, this is an expanding and compounding problem.

As such, democracy is doomed and societies that are spiraling will continue to spiral until whatever else forms, forms

I'm guessing some sort of dystopian oligarchy, since society's in this state seem to be incapable of not handing over land wealth, power and decision-making control to just a few wealthy individuals.

Someone asked what the alternative to democracy was. They answered "education".

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
