It’s wild that most of us don’t realize this. Yeah, the system could be better, but good lord look at your life now vs. what life was like for people 1000 years ago and what it is even now for 90% of people around the world.
you should all be kissing your lucky stars the random lottery of birth has you where you are instead of dreaming about some utopia. History has also shaken out in your favor pretty well. I’d be cautious about wanting big change to whatever system we have now.
This! We've been given the best system of government in the history of humankind, and yet there are some who are like "this sucks, I can do better."
Instead of trying to burn down our existing institutions, why not try to make it better?
