Contemporary right-wing discourse is too quick to dismiss democracy in all its forms out of hand.

I have become more lukewarm on democracy over time and my opinion has changed, i have never been fully against the notion of a limited democracy though. Most of democracy countersignaling i think comes from the fact that getting out of the current situation is differently not doable democratically.

the main result of democracy is becoming a dictatorship eventually

full democracy is retarded because it lets 80iq shitskins have the same voting power
only limited democracy works

Democracy is a left wing concept stemming from the idea that all people are in theory equal and free. This is directly incompatible with the right wings idea of order and hierarchy and as such has no place on the right.

While understandable, I think one could opt to instead eschew representative democracy/parliamentarism as it exists in the state capitalist west and speak to how little agency citizens actually have in these supposedly participatory governments we toil under.

Yes, it's the nature of any nation-state to grow into a monstrous leviathan but that doesn't mean this process can't be slowed down with a degree of feedback from the citizenry.

That's one of the critique of democracy, there is no incentive to learn about governing or policy because of the way elite theory and the average citizen works, especially under libral democracy, where the individual's rights are supposed to be the main thing but democracy is a collectivist concept. Within limited democracy there also arise problems like incentives and hoe tou regulate these quotas. One of the reasons i have shifted my mind is that i realized the idea of an "absolute democracy" like Switzerland is unironically superior from the current status quo and i looked up what kind of policies were passes under it. Ironically, the absolute form of democracy in consequential terms ends up with better results than all other forms of democracy, it also kinda avoids in some ways the iron law of oligarchy by being a system where you directly vote on policy etc…

Democracy is retarded because the voters are retarded and only a a few % of them are actually educated on politics. They all just follow whatever bullshit they hear on the tv or social media, like political parties have started to post fucking tiktoks to appeal to cacas, jsid…

While I like direct democracy I don't consider it working efficiently in practice.
