@hotmanila So... an uninformed and irrational mob is always preferable over Plato's informed and benevolent ruler-king?

@hotmanila Exactly. That's why I don't believe that real democracy exists. There is only mobocracy which is used to legitimize oligarchies.

I like Plato better. RT @hotmanila: yep RT @ @hotmanila You believe Churchill is correct?

@hotmanila You believe Churchill is correct?

@hotmanila In short, when we say we fight to protect democracy, what is it we want to protect? The dream world or the mere term?

@hotmanila It's always relevant to ask whether we're living in a dream world when we say "democracy"

@hotmanila Is having ONE dictator worse than being dictated upon by an UNTHINKING MOB whose decisions we have to abide with?

@hotmanila Non-democracy? What's in a name. What we call democracy being arbitrary as it is.

@hotmanila Exactly. It is NEVER going to be up to the thinking voter. It is the greatest irony of democracy.

@hotmanila But, seriously, those are very possible scenarios. Eliminate the GMA as PM angle we're still left with a possible Erap comeback

@hotmanila Me I prefer migrating HAHAHAHAHA
