Even Plato hated democracy
>The laws of democracy remain a dead letter, its freedom is anarchy, its equality the equality of unequals

It’s obvious why democracy is garbage. The majority are too retarded to make educated decisions on political matters.

Democracy is great because it gives the elites the actual control while pretending to give the populace choice to keep them happy.
It's a great tool of stability and the reason why we didn't have any major wars in the last fifty or so years.

I cannot think or comprehend of anything more cucked than having a democracy.

>A man is hurried to the hospital, after suffering grave injury. Soon he finds himself lying on the operation table, still conscious, and feels relieved by the doctor’s figure. He then realizes the room is actually rather crowded - accompanying the doctor and nurses there are nine random citizens who, he is told, each have different perspectives and aptitudes, but none of which have previously studied medicine. In fact, at least one of them seemed to be illiterate. The patient is then horrified, as he realizes his operation’s procedure is to be decided through a voting process - the doctor’s opinion bearing the same weight as everyone else’s.
>Why is it that the thought of a medical or military operation being decided democratically strikes us as being absurd to the point of humor, whilst we proudly apply the same principle to the gravest of political matters? As a first step in such inquiry, the qualities of the political “doctor” should be defined.

Wouldnt it be called "white Timocracy". I believe Plato enjoyed the idea of a timocratic governance

>Democracy seems dumb to me, but I can't articulate why.
If you are referring to the original Democracy of Athens, then we can debate. If you are referring to today's "Democracy", then we have nothing to discuss because in reality it is oligarchy.

the average person is a mongoloid, and a democratic society is a society run by the average person (mongoloids)
