because teenagers can vote as can woman
Woooooo. we're back. Was starting to get withdrawals.
A woman needs a man, a man needs a king.
>mommy I can't live free, I need someone to breastfeed me

People are manipulated emotionally and not logically

Because its majority rule plain and simple. The masses are only as smart as their weakest members.

Tocqueville was too good for this world.
He saw it all coming 100 years in advance, but no one would listen before it was too late.
To anyone lurking who hasn't read his chapter on the kind of despotism democracies have to fear, leave /pol/ and don't come back until you have.

I've held the following opinion for many years now, and I have always felt like that I was being ''edgy'' or simply stupid.
Totalitarianism manifested in a single person is the best* way to govern.
* Meaning on a large scale level, and through long periods of time.
Am I stupid, /pol/?

Because in democracy 2 fucked up junkies got twice as many votes as a university professor.
Also in democracy majority rules, and the majority of people are stupid and thus stupidity rules in democracy.

Look at all the craziness going on in our society and universities. FEMEN, La Raza, Marxist educators, pro-pedo news outlets. In a democratic society you can't do jack shit about these problems. But with fascism or monarchism all it takes is one command and you have these chucklefucks taken out into a field and shot. Problem solved.

because everybody votes in their own personal interest, not in that of the country or the people
because people that are parasites on society get the right to vote, especially the old
because single women systematically vote for what gives them less responsibility and is ultimately bad for the country

Nah, you're just smarter than 99% of people.
>too much freedom
>too much stupidity
Alright then.
So what ruins democracies? Atheism, capitalism, or something else?

Corruption.

Which weakens the nation and the family unit

It weakens the nation yes and the family unit through downgrade of the economy, but families suffer more these days because of cultural marxism, woman liberation movements, loss of religion etc.

They are just easily subverted. Since everything is a consensus, coming to a decision is not easily done. On a lower level the masses can be manipulated by propaganda (Papers, Hollywood) then vote against their interests. On a higher level politicians can be easily bribed since the majority have no real power or money aside from their office (which is temporary). It is very hard to bribe a king.
