    If voting didn’t work, you will blame it on corruption or unprecedented times like war or natural disaster.

    Its either democracy or some external thing happened, never that voting didn’t bring democracy.

    And we haven’t even touched the subject of legally making it difficult for minority and “unwanted” groups to vote. We also didn’t talk about immigrants who live work and pay taxes but are not represented by voting




  • Doesn’t this kinda breeds complacency? By framing it as just a social construct, aren’t we indrectly telling ourselves, in order to fix gender inequality, we just need to change the social discourse? Which completely ignores the politico-economics reality.

    IMO most people already believe gender i equality is bad (atleast in west that is) but inequal gender practices still persist today.

    Not to mention the economic forces (like elon musk) uses political forces (like MAGA or AfD) to further such inequalities for their own benefits.
