AlphaCuck 02/13/18 9:28:49 PM #1:	https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2017/06/millennials-are-rapidly-losing-interest-in-democracy/ Not long ago, liberal democracy was regarded by many as not just the best form of government, but the inevitable form of government. At the end of the Cold War, Francis Fukuyama famously called the end of history: democracy had won, everything else had failed. In 2017, that view looks naive. New research warns that democracys fan base is shrinking, especially among younger people. In a paper published by Roberto Stefan Foa of the University of Melbourne and Yascha Mounk of Harvard shows that the proportion of people who support having a strong leader who does not have to bother with parliament or elections has risen across the world over the past 25 years, in many cases considerably. Foa and Mounks research shows that millennials have become less attached to the importance of voting. In 1995, only 16% of 16 to 24-year-old Americans believed that democracy was a bad way to run the country. By 2011, that share had increased to 24%. Another chart, based on the same research, shows a systematic decline in the percentage of people who think that it is essential to live in a democracy, depending on what decade they were born in. Wow. <cite>AlphaCuck posted [p:896038175] in Millennial...

Ultima Dragon 02/13/18 9:34:18 PM #12:	It basically doesn't matter who you vote for or what sort of political system you have in place. People are too corrupt to govern other people, and the corruption just gets worse the higher up you go. Naturally, better this than a brutal dictatorship that commits genocide against its own people or something. I can still see people not caring about voting anymore at all. The South Park analogy of "Giant Douche vs. Turd Sandwich" has never rang more true. It truly doesn't matter who gets your vote, they're going to take your money and run (while running your country into the ground and selling out your children's futures to boot). --- "It's Canada, their idea of rioting is a half-muttered swear word." - deathbeforelife <cite>Ultima Dragon posted [p:896038503] in Millennial...

The foundations of our great nation truly is being eroded by and replaced with a cult of outrage. You mean like outrage over some NFL players kneeling and outrage over Obamas portrait? Oh wait... This is a prime example of what we're talking about. You're losing the culture war so instead of coming to terms with it you're just becoming outraged about... what people who ultimately don't matter think of a portrait? Let me put this in terms you and all the other millennials will understand: "smh".

The ideal form of government is an elite minority choosing what's best for everyone, not the majority choosing what they have been fooled to believe is the best for the majority. I used the word ideal to point out it's not realistic. A single all powerful leader is beyond idiotic. Who would be the elite minority? Rich people? I don't think that would turn out well at all. you make it sound as though this is speculation and not reality Heh sure.

I'm still a pretty new user so I'm not sure what "whining" you might be referring to.

What's with your guys' obsession with him? I've only ever seen him post a few times but he seems pretty cool. Holt alt confirmed. Anyway, in the whole of my 34 years of living, democracy has never helped me once, and voting was always a waste of time.

Other highly educated individuals? There's no system where greed and power won't get in the way in some regard. Humans are too selfish for that.
