Ok. How about this take. More than 50% of the electorate DO NOT WANT self governance.

They want to be told what's good or bad, what's dangerous or safe, what (through govt laws) is legal or illegal, etc, etc, etc.

If you do away with the systems that enable their non-functioning existence then they'll have to become more self-sufficient or perish.

I just spent a week on a jury. It was terrifying. Not the murderer we were trying but the people reporting for jury duty. Very eye opening and has me looking for property in the most remote part of Wyoming.

This is globalists’ justification for intervening and taking the reins from the inept, apathetic, and undisciplined masses.

Only they put everyone outside of their tiny circle of enlightened globocommunist oligarchs in this category.

The rest of the world is suitable only for slave class status or extermination.

According to globalists, that is.

I agree with everything you've stated.

If we were better educated


I think it's important to reiterate what "educated" means in this context because the Dems will point out there's a high and recently increasing correlation between being "educated" (degrees) and being Dem. You can have a master's degree in engineering and be an intelligent person and not have a damn clue about politics, economics, foreign affairs, etc.

This is all said to add to your point, not to challenge it.

If you made your citizens be responsible for their bad decisions I believe our society would be much better off.

Reduce government by 50% and see what happens.

I think it's mostly because they don't care. They see the same things we see but shrug their shoulders and say, "Yeah that's a shame but I care about my things than my freedoms".

Luxury and comfort have made most white people dependent and incapable.

If this thing crashes, most are fricked. They have no idea what survival is like.

Government mandates about specific education or training requirements as a prerequisite for exercising our rights can get fricked.

Don’t we elect people who are supposed to represent us in congress? Voters knowing what’s in a bill doesn’t mean a dam thing. Voters don’t have a say in bills in congress only the people that vote on them.

85% of Americans are incompetent.

Probably 75% of humanity is incompetent.

A survey found that people aged 65 and older were more likely to pass the US Citizenship test than those aged 45 and younger.
About two-thirds of Americans, 224,400,000 would not pass the test required to become a United States citizen, a new survey says.
Just 39 percent of Americans can pass a multiple choice test with questions taken from the U.S. Citizenship Test, according to a report by The Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation.
The test has a passing score of 60.

About the same percentage of people that can’t read past an 8th grade level. So you know they can’t do math. They certainly won’t understand science. A lot of these people are critical to keeping our infrastructure going, but the rest are just waste’s of space. Useless eaters as the globalists say
