@brecht Indeed.
@aral I think it’s not democracy it’s only the label,.
@Ihazchaos yeah, not even close to democracy. @aral
@aral Definitely 2023. And also practically all of the cold war.
@aral This reminds me of a video I saw of this Chinese scholar explaining what is wrong, from his country's point of view, with the American political system. That's exactly what he said. Your country's problem is your political system can be bought. In China there are billionaires but they cannot buy political outcomes.
Whatever is wrong with China's political system (a lot) he was right about that.
