How long until we can just let the machines take care of us again?
Maybe over time democracies just naturally start to eat themselves as the politicians realise they can get a lot more success by trying to corner the stupid vote thus degrading the level of political debate to a farce
Seems like that's what has happened in America and we're heading the same way, how many more people would've voted Labour if Miliband had a strong jawline and a less nasal voice? How many people were duped into thinking UKIP are the party that will stand up for the working class because their leader pretends he's one of them?
“The larger the group, the more toxic, the more of your beauty as an individual you have to surrender for the sake of group thought. And when you suspend your individual beauty you also give up a lot of your humanity. You will do things in the name of a group that you would never do on your own. Injuring, hurting, killing, drinking are all part of it, because you've lost your identity, because you now owe your allegiance to this thing that's bigger than you are and that controls you.” - George Carlin
