This is a real problem though. Democracy is a fuck-based system. Uneducated people fuck without protection more ofthen than educated people, which gives them more voting power. Minorities (mental or otherwise) are only protected if the big-fuckers want it, since by design majority wins.
Except the quality of education and other sources of information one receives during life by far outweighs the genetic element of intelligence (which you are confusing with education).
People getting dumber doesn't mean Idiocracy is a documentary - especially if it's happening too fast to be genetic. It's the education system that is cooked.
I… what?
Every person (who is not deemed invalid, criminals cannot vote haha what if they change the law right?) gets to vote + Everyone's vote counts the same = If you have one child your family has 3 votes, if your neighbor has 4 children they have 6 votes. In a democratic event, if they can come to an agreement, they choose what happens without your input.
Maybe in the next generation your children will out-procreate their children, then you get to decide without your neighbor's input. How isn't it fuck-based?
Of course, this requires all children to share their parents' political alignment and not deviate from it whatsoever.
Which is probably the best joke I'll read today.
