Re: Why Socrates Hated Democracy
Democracy has big flaws. For example every stupid f.ck is allowed to vote including all these antifa who are actually nihilists and they want to destroy any kind of order when they know that there is no such thing even in the most uncivilized cultures. They are actually working for third word powers who want to destroy anything that the West Civilization represents. Not only Socrates was against but Aristotle was too who was in favor of the king-philosophers (aka very educated kings that would be fair and wise and that would have interest in advancements of philosophy and science), that's why he tried his best educating Alexander The Great.

Re: Why Socrates Hated Democracy
Democracy is a sham. "Two wolves and a sheep vote for dinner" sums it up perfectly. Socrates nailed it with the lack of critical thought prevalent throughout culture. Cannot have uneducated/indoctrinated people voting (i.e. BLM, antifa, democrats, Karen). But then the conundrum is who is to judge the education received? How to determine voter competence without jeopardizing free thought is a slippery slope.

Lifetime politicians is also a burden on society as their only vested interest is preservation of their own perceived relevance.

We need a council of representatives from various fields and not lawyers who act as a spokesperson that receive kickbacks and bonuses from various lobbyist groups and corporate entities.

We need actual teachers and professors to council on education, for the sake of learning not profit. Actual practicing doctors and nurses to council on healthcare for optimal health and not profit or "treatment".

We need to do away with a single entity being in charge, at minimum a council of 12 or more elected individuals from various fields. How can a society function if potentially 49% go ignored, unheard or completely left behind? The people's money should not be at the whim of a single entity. An entity voted for through ignorance and manipulation 90% of the time. I don't have an alternate solution, but democracy sure isn't a solution to anything.
