😂😂😂All Countries & their Political/Military/ Wealthy Elitists think like this. I'm beginning to think there isn't a single healthy Republic anywhere in the world ATM.
To varying degrees, yes. But the "varying degrees" part is significant; and the amount of variation here between one country and another is huge. Each country's own complicated set of norms, expectations, laws, institutions,....... which limit the degree to which elite minorities are allowed to get away with "thinking like this" is what is referred to by terms like: "freedom of speech"; "checks and balances"; "division of powers"; "rule of law"; "democratic elections"; and so on. -- These terms don't refer to anything simple. But they are meaningful.
Nonsense! The quality of life and level of freedoms in the West, particularly the US is unrivaled in the world. Crazy to suggest Russian or Chinese style of authoritarianism is equal to democracy.
So much to consider here. Our democracies are in deep crisis and the media is part of the problem. Will relisten to this many times. Thank you.
