    Libs think that governments with high approval ratings are authoritarian but a system that consistently produces widely unpopular political leaders is democratic

    Seriously, look at the generally abysmal approval ratings of elected officials in the international community.

            The rich are actually unhappy. They would be happy if stripped of their wealth and left to play clicker games where they can harmlessly make number get bigger.

              I knew that, but it's not like they even know it since they live in a bubble world.
