Democracy basically means... government... by the people, of the people, for the people. But the people... are retarded.

Get the Democracymug. Its interesting what people have called democracy since 2020. Trying to force everybody to wear a mask anywhere they go is not democracy, its a nearly totalitarian government. People that think Biden is democracy are not as different from people that think Trump is democracy as they may think. Neither Biden nor Trump gives a fuck about them, and they'll never really see that, because they still think Biden is on a different side than Trump. Its two sides of the exact same coin, Democrat and Republican.
The reality of democracy is any rights you're not fighting for, you don't have. As long as you never wake up, the people calling themselves the government will take right after right away as long as nobody is governing them, reminding them that they are of the people, for the people (and not over the people), and the same is true of everyone else.

A political system that balances capitalism with a strong commitment to social justice and welfare. It aims to regulate the market economy to prevent exploitation, reduce inequality, and guarantee fundamental rights like universal healthcare, education, and workers' protections. It believes democracy isn't just about voting but also about ensuring everyone has the real means to participate in society. Social Democracy tries to create a fairer society without dismantling capitalism entirely, promoting gradual reform over revolution.
You're a threat to everyone tho.

Olof Palme: Again, I am a Social Democrat.
Journalist: Soo, a Capitalist?
Olof Palme: Dumbass, I am apart of Social Democracy, I am in a Social Democratic party, and that means I am a Social Democrat.

Get the Social Democracymug. Lack of democracy doesn't just affect white people. Ahmaud Arbery was a casualty of a shortage of democracy, that kind of thing happens when people value safety over personal freedom (it's the opposite of safe, even if it seems like a good idea at first, after all Hitler spoke of peace and love winning before he took over Germany). A guy got shot because some other guys thought he had no right for them not to feel safe. When people value safety over personal freedom, rights disappear. It works the same way with masks and vaccines, and an overpoliced country where unarmed people are getting killed frequently for no good reason.
Democracy is still around, but people aren't fighting for it, many are still accepting any restrictions to their freedom and democracy a few people can think up to put on their behavior and movement.

Get the democracymug. As long as people value safety/security over personal freedom, they will have no right to do anything that makes them feel safe, they will only have a right to get in line for the slaughterhouse, since they've already given up all the other rights they weren't fighting for. When someone tells someone to tell you that is what's best for you and you never question the source behind the (mis)information, that's what you end up with.
Democracy is only as good as the fight people are willing to put towards it, that was how the country got started. There has always been hypocrisy and double standards, the country was founded by slaveowners fighting for independence and freedom, and bullshit has always been the glue that held it all together, but if nobody fights then nobody has any rights, no matter what they look like.
