Didn't the founding fathers say that the Constitution could only work with a moral society?

[Jupiterxice]

Plato even said democracy is dangerous if you give it time.

[briancordero]

Democracy is the freedom to choose the choice that has already been chosen for you.

[allencollins]

Frank Zappa Quote;
"The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater."

Democracy is the rule of majority, BUT majority can be easily manipulated and influenced by the medium, and the medium is owned by a minority, so democracy is the rule of a minority .

[techpriest]

Power does not corrupt, corrupt people simply seek power.

Power shows you who you really are when not restrained.

In an autocracy, one hateful ignorant person decides how you get to live your life.
In a democracy, millions of hateful ignorant people decide how you get to live your life.

[alecfoster]

I named specific corporations that control our society and the algorithm took my post down. How aptly ironic.

“I care not who controls a nation’s political affairs, so long as I control her currency.”

— Mayer Amschel Rothschild

It does not matter for whom you vote for as long as the banking elite is allowed to pull the strings...👈😔

John Adams was speaking against pure democracy (mob rule), as opposed to and as an argument in favor of a Constitutional democratic republic.

The key to a functional CDR - that is to say one that protects individual liberty and allows society to remain free and to flourish - is an educated, knowledgeable, and involved citizenry willing and capable of keeping its elected officials in line and accountable. This is precisely what has gone awry in the United States.

[jeffreypmitchell]

Beware of controlling language. Use Common Sense. Stand Up and Speak Up and say No! to coercive language especially when the language makes slippery assumptions.

[petromax]

Voting lets people feel like they're doing something without having to do anything that will actually matter.

[ceasedcare]

Here in the UK, we don't live in a 'democracy', but in a constantly shifting unwritten Constitutional monarchy. Once in, all UKMPs swear allegiance only to HRHKC, not the electorate. Ephesians 6:12.

[neugey]

Now I'm really not in the mood to finish my taxes.

[fearthehoneybadger]

"I don't care if the people can vote as long as I choose who they vote for."
Stalin

[OPPOSMITE]

Not sure why so many think America is a Democracy?
It's actually a Constitutionally Republic.
I wish more people would learn that fact.

[MGood-ijhi]

One thing this video fails to do is mention that " the people" are just as corruptible and have just as much tendency toward cruelty, brutality, and authoritarianism as any one person in power. Too many people want to speak of the greater population in terms of goodness, decency, and being the "victims" of despots, when usually the despots are created by the very people who become their victims.

[Ming]

Guess we now have modern documentation why all the great philosophers hated democracy.

[akhydra]

People will inherently vote for those promise more provision and welfare, this loop itself is always the downfall of democracy
