Let’s get this right: democracy is a diversion
After writing this I will go back to read this article. Let’s get this right: Democracy is a diversion.
Hardly a day goes by when we aren’t bombarded with the virtues of democracy as a diversion from the fact that democracy does not exist. Democracy has replaced religion as the opiate of the masses, an illusion, a diversion from the day-to-day realities of CAPITALISM.
The realities of a greed-driven society who, like casinos, are happy for the odd mug punter to have a spectacular win so all the other mug punters keep betting. Like all greed-driven systems that came before, we are now in a cycle of turmoil because the differential between the haves and the have nots has become too obvious, the greedy have become too obvious and the poor too poor.
Is it going to be a planet-ending climate crisis of a major war that is the reset and gets the masses back under control back in their box?
The capitalists have lost control of their democracy illusion.
Will computers and AI be the benevolent dictator the world needs to get a more balanced harmonist society?
