Well then, let’s hold them to true democracy. The alternative is ……… unthinkable…

These things are true but not in the absolute. Democracy is still the best form of government. The peasants have never had a system that tilted the balance of power so favorably.
The peasants shouldn’t be concerned with politics. The peasant sitting at home on the couch having his entire lifestyle funded by the productive class has zero incentive to vote for what’s best for those that actually fund him; they vote for more benefits for themselves. Anarchy or Monarchy, maybe strict Minarchy - those are the only acceptable systems. Democracy is mob rule under a different name that always devolves the same way. https://i.nostr.build/xEO87.jpg
Have you heard of the movie The Jones Plantation?
I've heard of it, but have not seen it yet. I just checked out the imdb page for it and noticed that the main character's eyes in the movie poster almost appear as if he has laser eyes. Hmm... interesting. Might have to watch this one. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26964727/mediaviewer/rm1957438977/?ref_=tt_ov_i
