A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy.

As for the UN, what do you expect when you put anti-semites and petty tyrants in charge of something.

“How did so many crazy people get in charge of our gov’t and the U.N.?’

They are not crazy. They have different assumptions about reality than we do.

They see nothing wrong with lying if it advances their cause. The biggest sin that they have is getting caught, and then, only if it leads to failure.

The have no problem with lying about global warming or “climate change” because they think it necessary to concentrate power in the hands of well meaning technocrats.

They do not admit that the technocrats have agendas of their own that can be more destructive than any evil they claim to control.

Perhaps we can say they are crazy, but only if we posit that believing that power is the only thing that matters is crazy.

I say it is closer to evil than crazy.
