Really good way of putting it. I recall talking to friends back in 2015/6 about this stuff and them thinking I was nuts. I seem less nuts to them today. Honestly, it still surprises me how few people get it. Not talking about dumb people. I guess they just stay in their bubbles or don't think about solutions that include people that aren't like them.

Sometimes it's just a matter of hearing it put the right way. After hearing Tom Woods describe democracy as a "low intensity civil war", I couldn't see it as anything else. Of course, a low intensity civil war is preferable to a high intensity one, but I think if people saw it for what it is they'd be less enthusiastic about "solving" problems democratically.
