So yes, fake democracy? Or real democracy...? In any "democratic" country?

"The so-called democracy is just a fake theocracy, and a scam" said someone on Youtube. Very interesting PoV... because I share his or her view on this. And guess
what? Said by a Westerner.

I'd like to see that video and know which country they are talking about.

"someone on youtube" could have been anybody for any reason.

I'm with you on this and would also like to see the video.
 
So, you're supposedly quoting someone from a video on YouTube, and you cannot produce the video. Correct?

No, i'm copy-pasting a quote from Youtube. (a reply)

"The so-called democracy is just another kind of autocracy, the American democracy is not true democracy, is just a huge political scam, all civil rights is false, and in fact, this is lawlessness, warm water boil dead frogs, western medicine western medicine perish the united"
 
That quoted reply was made after they watched a YouTube video, no?
 
I'm confused. Did you make the YouTube video?
 
Are we talking about any democracy here? It seems to be criticism directed at the US, but just making sure.

If it's directed at any democracy then you gotta be kidding me... There are enough countries, like Belgium for example, where religion is not a big thing anymore so calling us a Theocracy is ridiculous.

Not sure... you'll have to ask the person... but I think he was referring to the US allowing religions to rule a state or religion-ruled states in America (like the Utah). And everything isn't perfect anywhere in this aspect either.
 
I agree that no system is perfect.

As for the comments on the US. I don't know enough about it so I'm not getting involved in that discussion.

And no every political regime is fake.... since it's made by humans.

What do you mean fake?

Made by humans, thus an illusion and thus fake.

Sorry but I do not follow your logic!? :shock:
Why do you say that something made by humans is an illusion and thus fake!?

Because it's made by mankind... so it's only in our "imagination". Especially stuff like ideologies. Ideologies are fake and only "imaginary", so "imagined" by humans, thus fake and an illusion also.
And democracy is an ideology, such like totalitarianism/utopia and etc.
 
But when imagination is executed it then becomes REAL! :lol:

So yes, ideologies are indeed "ideal" (idealism) but when the idealism is then put in practice (executed, run) it immediately become real... :)
