Work to pay taxes to unaccountable govts, get teargassed for exercising constitutional rights. Sometimes, this "democracy" feels overrated.

@asteris You can of course fight for it,but right after your triumph you will be disappointed by where you got.The same old story everywhere -
@Rot_Solo sorry, I don't subscribe to nihilism. Any progress is only incremental, at best, and what's the alternative to fighting, anyway? -
@asteris For me the alternative is to come up with a better system than the present practice of democracy. -
@Rot_Solo work in progress, and arguably, best practices so far have arisen from mass, (mostly) peaceful grassroots actions on the street.
