Not a reason to believe in democracy, since there is no democracy now.
Yes the majority are never right, no matter the form of government. Even in a Republic or dictatorship.
You must think what type of government. And whether the majority of that type even comes close to agreeing with you no matter what type.
An anarchy is just that! Everyone out for themselves. Only the strongest and smartest can survive in an anarchy and they will still never agree with you. In an anarchy your chance of agreeing or winning is less than a small fraction of a percent! So you lose most of the time.
A true democracy is the only option for the least worst scenario. There's at least a chance you can agree with something, though rarely everything.
Some I see are referring to the strong man theory and totally forgetting the smart people that will out wit the strong! 🤣
The chances of winning against one, the other or both is still fractionally negligible! You'll lose 99.6667% of the time.
Are you currently in the top ten percent of even your own country in ANYTHING? How about the top 1%? For that top 1% will take everything from you, including your own life.
This is a cost versus benefits assessment! There's no such thing as always winning in such a assessment. You win something and you lose something every time. There's always a cost as well as a benefit for the cost.
The benefit in a democracy is winning at least some of the time for the majority even if it's 5% of the time.
Not so in a republic or dictatorship. You just have a smaller majority that's always wrong!
