Democracy is the most retarded system, because it's always going to align with herd mentality, so if you control the sheep, you can do what you want.

Certainly true, and a valid critique of Democracy. I can't defend democracy on its own merits. However, I would say that in tyranny one doesn't even need to bother controlling the herd mentality to achieve the same result, and the odds of getting the one good guy aren't great.

    Which is why i prefer monarchies over republics. Republics, no matter how masculine, always lead to feminine democracies. The reason why rhe UK, Spain and Belgium are doing poorly is because those countries are constitutional monarchies, where their Kings do nothing and their prime ministers call the shots.

    We are where we are because the system we use, whether it's good or bad, is the thing that survived.

    It's decent, but assumes all parties are honest.
