Also the democratic systems like Germany are not known for their pro people / worker law decisions, the opposite actually in the last couple of years.

This Democracy does not equal "what people want". It's a system designed to make people feel like they have the power for change. Knowing that, many people just vote to stop the far-right party from gaining power.

The EU similarly is working as designed. It's a symbiosis between State and Capital and in hard times it has to regulate peoples rights in order to maintain stability. Or in this case open the door to stop anti-state/EU propaganda.

I'm not against Democracy, just want to lay out it's limitations as it is applied.

Deeper pockets mean less regulations apply to you though. You have better lawyers and lobby.

You right. Market competition makes this situation a prisonors dilemna. Under capitalism this problem will persist.

But USA can't even be on the side of their own people. I can see the recent ICE shooting, health care issues, clearly corrupt government officials. Why should anybody trust them with another country?

Also the US has massive protests aswell, would it be okay for china to liberate the USA, since china itself is lead by a "democratic party"? They could argue the USA isn't a real liberal democracy.

> why not let them vote in fair elections? Elections can be faked, people can be mislead, oppositions and media can be bought.

thanks for sharing. Marketing seems frustrating to me for an open source project. I had similar issues with python in the past and i wish I knew about this project back then.

sounds awesome. Just out of interest, why do you think pyflow didn't catch on, but UV did?

> In the long run we are all dead. Economists set themselves too easy, too useless a task if in tempestuous seasons they can only tell us that when the storm is past the ocean is flat again.

J. Keynes

He was specifically criticising this "the market will regulate itself after a while" attitude. Nice for you to have a big enough safety net, bot not everybody does.

1. if your government decides google has to put spyware on your phone, you wont be able to remove it, unless your device is reprogramnable.

It's actually the other way around, the only way to garantue that your device is free of spyware is you reprogramming it. You shouldn't have to trust the potentially compromised manufacturer.

> There's no "real homelessness" either.

Sorry, then I misinterpreted this sentence
