Yo yo my Steemies, wattup?
I've talked about both democracy, and false dichotomies, in previous vlogs, but never in association, like i do today.
The western style democracy of rallying the mindless mobs into left vs right, is the ultimate farcical false dichotomy.
I expand on why, in today's vlog.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter too.
Peace.

howdy sir bobaphet! well sir, I agree that we have no choice in the system but what lousy choices they give us and we're usually voting for the lesser of two evils but since the only way to make changes is through the system, then what choice do we have?
beside not voting I mean. lol

That's the problem with false dichotomies, we don't even consider other options.
Even to vote, or not to vote, is still a false dichotomy.
There must be solutions, but it takes enough people to spend the time considering them, for that to evolve.

howdy sir bobaphet! well sir then that's a problem because there will never be enough people to spend the time considering them will there? maybe if a major event happens to wake them up.

Democracy is the worst system in the world because two stupid drunks have advantage over one clever guy.

But this is better than a dictatorship, but the fact that citizens who live in a democratic country want and do the development of democracy is already fine. In some countries you can only dream about it.

i would argue that at least a Dictatorship is far more honest, while a Democracy is given "the illusion of choice" i just wrote an article about all politics being fake, you can read it here if you are interested.

Thanks mate, do what i can :) BTW i have said the same thing about voting in Australia, if all of us said "no way mate" and didnt vote they would be screwed.... now imagine if we could do the same thing when it came to taxes ? you know since they (the gov) seems to think they can bullshit us at every election. What are they gonna do throw the entire population of Australia in jail? lolz.

Who said anything about honor ? If we are going to argue irrelevant semantics then there is no point in discussing further because everyone knows that kangaroos like raspberry jelly more than polar bears... just sayin, lol.

I think that the difference between a democracy and a dictatorship, is that the people in the democracy, don't realise that they're actually in a dictatorship :P

I live in Ukraine, I lived in the USSR, and I see how people live near and in neighboring countries. If we compare it with the Soviet dictatorship of the proletariat, modernity loses in some positions, but in general it is much better.
