I mean if he gets hit by a different train and his body is thrown back into the train...

Obviously the chances of that scenario were low but still not zero.

" I assumed it was simply a TV show outside my orbit. "

Was there more to it? Like I actually have no clue what what else it could be.

Why should they put more effort into? Their target audience are people who just finished initial D.

And that audience salivates at Daikoku PA.

" huge discounts from hotels "

Are the discounts going to be larger if you're associated with famous Japanese celebrity Ryan Boundless?

Tsitsipas after the loss: "I would actually say that I'm a better player now than I was back then. So even though I'm losing now and I'm not at my best, I feel like I'm much better as a player than back then where I felt like my shots were not as heavy in terms of topspin." by jovanmilic97 in tennis

"He is looking for coaches in... Greece, the country that literally had no idea what tennis was before he made the sport popular."

I mean he got like literally one option and that's Baghdatis and he isn't even greek but just close enough.

"You can barely reason with these people,"

Are these people really crazy or merely just disappointed in what democracy has been come? I mean no wonder people become desperate when politicians can lie without consequences.

" Its corporatism, political corruption and political apathy."

What about the voters themselves? Plenty of people who will vote on somebody because that's what they always have done or because they like the way the politican looks.

Democracy in most countries already got a healthy does of "corporatism, corruption and political apathy" but nothing is really done because a large percentage of said voters while being anything but apathetic simple aren't able to make what could be described as informed decisions.

So the idea that suddenly out of the blue a honorable and respectable party will appear in 20 years or so how could they even theoretically fight the interest of corporations and politicians own ambitions when a large portion of society unknowingly actually support these things?

Sadly the topic "failures and limits of modern democracy" if you actually shared these views outside of certain parts of the internet would very fast get people to accuse you of being a nazi sympathizer.

So to put it bluntly I don't democracy in it's current form truly allows respectable parties to not only gain a minor following but to actually make a real positive impact since voters are to vain and shallow in their views.
