Democracy is Bullshit

Democracy, even the name itself sounds good. For generations the word democracy have been associated with fairness, freedom and progress. But is that really true?

Democracy is a type of government which is "from the people and for the people". This means that regular people get to choose who will represent the government, and these representatives can also be regular people. The problem is that regular people are not prepared to vote, much less to run a country.

It hurts to say, but most part of the population is dumb when it comes to almost everything: politics, history, geography, economics... This makes them easily manipulated by anyone with a hunger for power. And that's exactly the problem with democracy, it gives too much voice to unintelligent people, so the few people who actually make informed decisions are overruled by the ones who don't.

If you had a heart condition and needed an urgent surgery, would you rather have a skilled surgeon or Tom Cruise to perform the procedure? A surgeon of course, because they have years of study and practice on the subject. But when it comes to choose who will rule a city or even a nation, people hardly go for the most prepared, their votes are not based on facts or logic, most people vote on emotion alone.

That's why democracy is bullshit.
