Modern Democracy

Modern democracy Think of an egg hollow it out drink its albumen and yolk the empty shell cracks easily and we call it democracy and free expression which is subjected to unwritten laws. You can call Trump a son of the devil, but not wish him hanged, like Mussolini, was hung. You will be subject to a sensor and put in a cell for a night, democracy is a schoolyard with high walls if rules are following the power to be will smile benightedly, you are a useful idiot and they shower you will see the illusion of richness if you play their game. The world is now a fascist state, and they spy on you in shops or in the street and what you say on the phone is recorded because if you think and turn they will lose credibility, followed by a revolution that will set you free providing they do not infiltrate and snatch your power base away.
