Because we’re ruled by idiots, who are voted into positions of power by even greater idiots and/or gullible people.
Democracy, power by the people for the people, but the people are retarded
Democracy only works well if people are sufficiently educated, critically thinking and engaged.
Not speaking out against democracy here, rather pointing out severe gaps in our education systems.
The older I get the more I fear there is less idiocy involved in the whole mess. The people in power are definitely conscious of their wrong-doing. As for the voter, it is scary how the sociopathic traits and overall individualism has grown in society. Everyday I meet people in support of this scorched earth approach where they’d rather embrace adversity than fight for ideals and bare with the few downsides of living in a group.
