When did you grow out the democracy meme /pol/?
Basically all of Western civilisation's accomplishments were made in the pre-democratic eras. Now, (((democracy))) is invoked to defeat all right wing ideas in the public sphere.
>inb4 muh Athenian democracy
Ancient Greeks never contemplated allowing women and retards voting. And Plato even thought democracy was retarded.

We don't have democracy. We have representative democracy. You get a choice of which politician to sell you out.

What baffles me in our modern times me is how we can both treat minorities like sacred cows and consider democracy, which is tyranny of the majority, as the best political system.

Yes, we had a handful of journalists and (((thinkers))) contemplating how universal suffrage is maybe not such a good idea after Brexit / Trump and to a lesser extent the EU constitution referendum.
Thoughts that got jettisoned by Macron's election, oddly enough.

We don't even have democracy anyway, we vote on people and not things

The French Revolution was more destructive to Europe long term than WW2
