Instead we have what masquerades as a democracy despite actually functioning as an oligarchy
Just like every other oligarchy…
I’ll never understand why people legitimate think people used to run around saying:
I’m evil, am doing evil things, everyone knows it, but no one will stop me.
Propaganda has been around since Og told everyone Grog just fell over for no reason and hit his head on that rock 5-10 times.
Even back to “real” oligarchs like medieval royalty, none of the peasants thought it was an oligarchy at the time. They thought royalty was chosen by God and who were they to argue with God?
By your metric of people needing to recognize in the moment, we’ve never had an oligarchy and never will, and you don’t even seem to understand that.
The only time the populace realizes they live under an oligarchy is the short time it takes them to have a revolution.
Right like “we have what masquerades as a democracy” so it’s am oligarchy, you’re just too chicken shit to call it that LOL. What’s under the MASK? Or did OP forget what “masquerade” meant ??
