You cry about democracy without knowing what it means, It means majority rule, Ayn Rand had a word for that, mob rule. Rights aren't up for a vote. The majority has no moral right to violate the rights of even a single individual. That’s why the United States was founded as a constitutional republic—to protect individuals from the majority, not to empower it. So no, I don’t worship 'democracy', I defend liberty. "Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage's whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men." Ayn Rand

You seem to believe that posters must agree 100% with any article they share. In your world, disagreement is forbidden, and merely posting an idea is treated as a full-throated endorsement,one that must pass through your unspeakably sanctimonious, woke conscience. Aristotle had a better grasp of intellectual discourse than you do: “It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.” But perhaps that’s the problem, you’re not here to entertain thoughts. You’re here to police them. Ironically, both Aristotle and Ayn Rand were deeply skeptical of democracy. They understood that when mob opinion trumps reason, liberty suffers.
