Tp4 isn't hoping for fascism, but looking at the ineffective democratic experiment, especially in time-costs, we might not make it.
If we did the hard work, educated population, strong civic culture, etc, it might be alrite, but that's not what we have.
Now throw in Social-media epidemic, the young people are dumber and more superficial than ever.
What is democracy handed to these personalities.
This is not to shift blame around, everyone's at fault, but we are where we are. How can you right the course without overwhelming autocracy.
Democracy has devolved into what it is today, because it's a democracy of morons.
How do civilizations steer. We reduce to fascism/dicatorship/monarchy, The smarter dictators rise, we're hit with Clear-and-Present Calamity, the Dictator orders civic projects to address the crisis.
AS of current, you lock people into Congress, America has effectively 50 presidents, they debate for 20 years which State gets m0ar federal tax.
The current bureaucracy is paralyzed. What narrow-benefits there are, is that truly enough to offset the meteor that's about to hit us.
It's also a misnomer that the people have no rights under dictatorships, If it comes to that, and he does a bad job, Just cut his head off.
But, when you have 50 presidents, every single 1 wants exorbitant payment for their leg of the highspeed rail = NO highspeed rail, this is across ALL-sectors.
