Myth Weaver
I don't see anything wrong with anything Aldarion has said, only that is some parts among many. All of that can be true, while whole lot of other stuff can be true as well. I would stop short of calling everyone idoits, but then, maybe everyone is? It can be true that the Democracy is an illusion, while it is also true that people are giving up a portion of personal sovereignty return for some set of agreed upon rights. And also be true that democracy creates an illusion that the voters matter when individual votes don't matter much at all. It can also still be a better system than others. But there is good and bad in every system, so one should expect that whatever the bad, some will notice it, and what ever the good, some will praise it. It would bring me back to choose your filter...
