This is why I genuinely don't think democracy is that good an idea.
Ancient Athenian culture was ultimately undone by democracy - by the 4th and 3rd centuries BC demagogues would whip the populace up into knee-jerk stupid decisions which would then be reversed the next day by a different speaker with the opposite view. In the end nothing sensible ever got done and their society foundered.

Under strong leaders like Pericles they were a mighty force. 'The public' are fucking retards who do not know what's good for them.

This is why I am a committed Nazi.

That's why we have a parliamentary democracy
so you choose people to govern for a set period, then if you don't like it you change it after that period, but you have to give them a chance. Dismissing Democracy on the basis of Athenian culture is a silly viewpoint. But I realise I'm taking the internet too seriously here so yeah, shoot the cunts. Shoot them right in the cock and bumhole.

I had to shoehorn ancient Athenian democracy in, I'm afraid.
I don't know anything about the modern world.
