RE: Democracy: Incompetence factory
I've held for some time that democracy in practice is pathetic, but the idea is terrifying. A mob in power can do far more damage both to itself and the world in general than a simple autocrat. Even a manipulated mob is less malignant than one that guides itself.
I've heard for many times that a man can feel more free in monarchy than in a democracy... but it depends on the monarch. Still, both systems are based on violence.
I would say that mob is a definition of manipulated people.
