    Yes, it’s crazy. People still think the CxU has some hidden competency when it comes to economics but they’re just here to fill their own pockets and leave the rest of us to rot when they’re done.

      It’s almost like this problem is repeated in every “democracy”. It’s almost like we live in capitalist dictatorships with the illusion of democracy, not much different to communist dictatorships with the illusion of workers owning the means of production.

        For a democracy to work you need education. That’s where we’re currently lacking and why the whole system is not working properly. It’s not like there is this huge conspiracy going on. There’s just a whole lot of people who are not using their rights properly. And a smaller group of elites that have the means to profit from this lack of education

        E.g. in the last coalition we had politicians like Robert Habeck who definitely wasn’t for everyone. But it was obvious he’s trying to make a good job. But at the same time the right started a smear campaign through Springer press and too many people believed it.

        People need to be educated. Then a democracy can work as intended. As long as this is not the case, it’s not going to work.
