Democracy is the truth

Democracy is good but the first-past-the-post system gives power to the state without it being democratic which means it gives illegitimate and tyrannical power to the state. Fptp insulates the state from the opinions of the people (which delays freedom). The state is absurd but it is not able to learn this since without democracy it will remain in place… people cannot easily reject the state if it not democratic which means that it remains ignorant and arrogant. The purpose of democracy is to enable the state to be answerable to the people but fptp restricts this process meaning that it remains ignorant. Democracy can awaken the government but fptp enables the state to remain asleep. With fptp the people can’t wake up the government because their votes don’t matter. First-past-the-post is a way for the state to switch off democracy and to be unanswerable to the people. But the power ultimately rests with the people so it is best for the state if it uses a more democratic system so that it is more accountable. It is better to know in advance if we are not doing a good job for our employers because otherwise we will be shocked when we are replaced. Fptp is a way for the state to stifle reality for a limited period of time (and slow down the progress of freedom). Eventually the people will get the freedom they want whether through fptp or otherwise… not even fptp can stop the truth.
