C'mon dude. Democracy does not work. Because I have never bent to any rules and never will. And you are the same. And we are the smart ones. Normies will always be a majority, and will always keep creating stupid rules, and thus will keep forcing us to abuse them by breaking their own stupid rules. It is that simple. This leaves us with two options:

1. Go back to tribal times with zero work specialization.

2. Live in autocratic as small as possible units. So it is kinda monarchy, except forget the few democratic / religious attributes they used to have: inheritance, funny dressing, and all that. Whatever the ruler says - happens. As long as he has enough bitcoin or weapons to make it happen.
