Without having read the article, reacting on the headline: no single person should be allowed to control our future. Democracy is a thing in large parts of the world, and we should try very hard to keep that functioning and even improve it.
- PUSH_AX 5mo agoPeople are voting with their wallets
- xboxnolifes 5mo agoThats not democracy.
- jstummbillig 5mo agoIt's also not not democracy. It has little to do with a form of government.

Rest of the western world is utterly ruled by politicians, governments with ever more control over _their_ population's private life and money, and some who shout out "democracy", deluded they have any control over anything through voting lol.
