Pure Democracy is MOBocracy .
mobs = lynch party
democrats are lynchers.
That party ceased to exist in real life , was murdered by psychophants that wear their victims skins for camouflage and manipulation and to keep the blinded blind.
Yup
The angry mob which will burn witches at the stake, and the greedy politician who will violate people’s rights are just as real today as they were in the day of Salem.
The human is a nasty beast, willing to do bad things to others. Those rules and procedures slow things down, force people to think, apply certain tests that attempt to achieve consistency and an outcome congruent with basic values we have codified.
Even just Covid recently. Look at what some of these politicians and folks were advocating?!?!? Are things really so different today? People become savage when fear and group social -dynamics take over.
And always were.
