overstating the case against democracy
Democracy isnt a bad system even though its faults are glaringly obvious at present.
It seems to fall down when the populace dont engage, for whatever reason and there are a few. And arent able to/capable of making informed decisions.Or when the elected turn out to be bullshitters par excellence, with hidden agendas.

Here’s a Reagan era song just to remind you of those “wonderful”, according to trump, times. -

the Saker
Your joking right?
We need globalisation, but not based solely in trade, we need to become a global civilization if we are to survive longer than the next century. But and its a biggy each country has to get its own house in order first(thats a metaphor)
And, I could be wrong but, what is being proposed there isnt it. -

citizen liberties and informed electorates.
Cant think of any country in the modern era that has had these, ever. Some pre- industrial societies were better at it that us. And then we got all consumed with the mighty dollar (beautifully disguised as self empowerment) and these ideals got pushed aside.
You pulled that little missive straight from The Slog? Sorry but while he may make some useful points. The author descents into paranoid and lunatic label throwing raving, just a little too often for my liking.
The years ahead wouldn't look so bleak if we, collectively, faced it head on. Something no monetary or political leading light, including the Trumpian, presently seems capable of doing. That alone will condemn us to a miserable future, and then there's everything else.

the writer had some person or persons in mind.
Not having read a book for a long time , I observed that I was not the only one of whom it could be said pejoratively “does not read books”.And
Something to tilt at perhaps? A focal point for venting a bit of spleen? A way of saying : – “I am not like those deplorable people”?
You seem to have the grasped the cow by the tail rather than getting the bull by the horns.
And I'll be as cryptic as I want, Thank you very much -

Cows think
So did these cogitating cows offer any insight as to why, and the deeper implications of said observations by their herd?
Or are you just taking the piss?
Not very well, I might add.
About as well as trumpian adorer R Hide.
You can go to harold yourself, I'm sure -
Since when has Trump indicated he’ll end the war? Since fucking when?
He has just subliminally put it out all along, he would whip everyone's (the whole world that isnt 'merican) arse. Great foreign policy BTW not!
And then there'd be no more need for war 'cause They'd be the undisputed champions!
Cue Freddie...And swathes of people fell for this subtext. How dumb can you be...
Anyway Obama has nicely suggested globalization needs a reset(does it have that button?) doing himself no favours here, He only realizes that now?
Im sorry, but sometimes any number of us completely lose the plot, but when its those with hands on the levers of power it is just farcical and dangerous. -
there’s a massive conspiracy being proposed
No, but you just disproved it anyway, and you are right its people acting independently, you can read whatever you like into people’s deeds…
So what do, we, do about that? Yes both problems.Ah,
Yes
Baffle them with billbullshit I say. So 2000 something
Monologues, thats what some people do best, talk bullshit
