I really have begun to believe that politicians should employ historians to give advice on certain political events by drawing comparisons to previous situations.

That only really works in a benevolent dictatorship. In a democracy, the masses can vote for reality-rejection candidates.

It's a pity democracy seems to be better than all the alternatives in practice, cause in principle there should be ways to improve things more. Inevitably though all other forms turn into draconian crap. Well, democracy does sometimes too, but less often.

What's odd about today's "democracy" is how increasingly little government itself matters, next to corporations that are stronger than nations.

Cyberpunk was supposed to be fiction, not a blueprint :(

Just wait for the cyberpunk crossover with The Handmaid's Tale. This is the worst timeline.
