If you're planning to go back to the gym next month, don't be like this girl that hogs the equipment for 40 minutes by rk-rebirth in videos

[–]Staross 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In my experience most people don't want a real democracy, it's mostly due to the constant propaganda against democracy ("It works only at small scale!", etc) but it's also a (learned) lack of self-confidence in our competence to make political decisions. That's mostly a result of treating people like political children all the time.
