How about: any democracy where Elon Musk (an unelected, private citizen) isn't granted unfettered access to dismantle the federal government.

Is this a new thing? As a non-American the US is for us famous for the exact opposite in south/latin America.

That's true, but these are Yarvin acolytes. They literally don't believe in democracy. They think their superior intellect entitles them to rule over the rest of us.

Rather than tearing the system down, let's identify the areas of rampant waste to a degree more lucid than what a news channel or podcast claims. Most areas people claims for alleged waste are legally required/statutory or spindoctored (especially grant topics). Social security isn't waste, but it is on the chopping block. It blows my mind that people are so hungry to hurt so many others and themselves in the process…
I disagree with social security not being waste. Just because some people find it useful, doesn’t inherently make it not wasteful. I’ll be lucky if my generation will even be able to pull anything out of social security.

So I've been paying for social security my whole life and you think it's a waste and you have the right to take the program away from me? Will I be getting a refund?
I doubt it, but hey welcome to the club. Like 1/4 of everything I make goes to social security.
But just because I’ve been contributing my whole life doesn’t mean we should double down of a failing program.

#99How did you Americans allow any of this?
We allow _this_ because we're tired of _that_. Hope it helps.
