I had the exact same comment! 'Our democracy' often serves as a synonym for the rules-based order, which is essentially the technocratization of society. It stands at the threshold of a totalitarian state. In Europe and Canada, which lean towards more socialist policies, steps have already been taken with CNBC, Agenda2030, and the widespread censorship of 'disinformation' under the guise of 'combating hate speech and protecting children from online abuse', among other measures. My sole advice is to hold onto your amendments as dearly as life itself, because from my perspective, they currently stand as the sole barrier against being consumed by those very institutions.
To understand technocratization masquerading as benevolence, I recommend watching the video featured in my brief article on European censorship.
Social democracy is light years away from Socialism. They have far more democracy than we do. Take your uneducated agitprop bullshit elsewhere. I will not stand for it.
Your definition isn’t even right. In a democracy, every single person who’s a registered daughter would vote on every single issue before the Congress. We are representative democracy or at least intended. We have zero legitimacy you’re correct in your assumption about the institution and how wrong it is but that’s totally on we the people
I think that anyone that has read much about organized crime (e.g., Mafia, etc.) could spot the very careful and purposeful use of the word "our" in "Our Democracy (TM)". "He's a friend of OURS" or "It's OUR thing." This is the language of exclusion and subtle messaging.
Who makes up the "our"? Spoiler alert, they don't think that means you and me.
This article here is great because it points out that when the establishment is "Manufacturing Consent" (Herman & Chomsky, 1988) they don't care what you and I think outside of our actions against their consensus. If you agree or disagree, that by itself, doesn't matter. "Whatever you tell yourself to get through it. Just don't rock the boat." sort of thing.
See, this is why I’m glad I opened it up for suggestions because I’ve encountered this a few times but never really dug into it or thought too much about it! Now I’m going to. Thanks so much for the suggestion!! 🙏😄

Pseudo intellectual gibberish much?

Seriously?
