How true this is

@LTCTheresaLong This is why our Founding Fathers set up a Constitutional Republic

@LTCTheresaLong Look at our Congress, did we elect the best people?

Way ahead of his time, or people haven’t changed much!

People haven’t changed much

Knowledge is power, but it's not nearly so powerful as ignorance--especially for those who know where to find it and how to exploit it.

“Democracy” <-But…. But, we are a “Federal Republic” <-That was the whole point.

Better than communism or socialism

The of communist/socialist leaders are normal elected by the people before they become dictators.

This is sad, but real.

That is why Plato favored Republics over Democracy.

I believe that we all need to reach deep within ourselves, let our egos die & finally come to a conclusion as a collective. Liars need to stop manipulating. Greed, power & perceived influence corrupt. If you woke up today, you should be grateful. Real talk. Life is precious.

Hey Virginia See Abigail Spanberger !

Remember presidential run for 2024, DeSantis vs Trump? People were saying, DeSantis is so weird, but people preferred Ms. congeniality, Trump.

That's why a healthy democracy requires a populace that is: Educated Moral (to the extent it is possible) Faithful Wipe out those supports and, yes, you end up with the best liars with the least scruples.

Yeah

Seems very true!!!

True indeed ‼️‼️‼️‼️

Pluto's observation still hits the mark today; not a single thing's changed, still as timeless as a celestial joke.

This is partially true. Those whom are docile or calm while not interfering with the horrible people are choosing to control what is controllable…their environment of sanity. This is hugely important because your Chakra energy centers require balance for health. Those whom seek power also seek greed. This results in pulling away from the beliefs that Chakra energy is required and they push towards Medical pathways to save their bodies that fall apart. Medical paths are both good and bad. Your health is governed by your spiritual side far more than any medical advances can control The spiritual path is free and only relies on you being a good person and knowing how to be a good person. You cannot be a politician and have balanced chakras, easily. Point is that seeking to fix things is a worthy pathway buy it is Not for everyone. It also does Not mean those that do not participate “beg” for tyranny!

It is all too common to assign power to leaders and public representatives whose only prerequisite qualification for having ultimate control over your life is their ability to win a popularity contest. Let that sink in.

Spot on. Living it in real time...

UGH!!

In short, democracy IS tyranny at all times, in a marketable disguise...

@TuomasMattila3 If you vote for a person, you got narcissistic people elected. In electoral systems where you vote for a party you got (also) serious, introvert people making laws.

So Ancient and So Profoundly Relevant!

THERE are ZERO movements calling for PURE DEMOCRACY. NONE. NADA. ZERO. ZILTCH. They don't exist So what is this all about? ANARCHO-CAPITALISM & DARK ENLIGHTENMENT. It creates a PRE-TEXT TO DESTROY THE UNITED STATES AND WESTERN DEMOCRACIES - using word play DON'T FALL FOR IT!

Important to understand Difficult to stop except to manipulate also But nonetheless imperative to know

High school all over again.

@xviddownload download please

And yet, we must endeavor to keep fighting for it, because if we dont, we are custom creating an invitation for tyranny

Alas

Some say Thomas Jefferson owns this quote, others disagree, regardless it’s my favorite quote about democracy. “Democracy is nothing more than mob rule where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine".

Seers 🙏🏼

Democracy does not stop at election....democracy should mean open, honesty, responsible governance. Itnonly starts with election. We elect those we feel they have our best interests...then there should be a democratic process of governing...laws, checks and balances.

Socrates condemned Democracy before Plato, his teacher, for more important reasons. Read ancient Greek philosophers, then understand the lies OF TODAY in their name. Basically stupid people shouldn't vote for obvious reasons. Manage a system when qualified and not corrupt.....
