Some cultures are not ready for democracy at all.
If I am going to allow Democracy to Work in China. Within months there will be a democratic referendum to invade Taiwan.
And the mass media influence right now is absolutely atrocious. They are so good with it that we common people are completely brainwashed by them if we are not careful.
The amount of time we spend looking at our cellphones and getting involved with Social Media have wrecked our brains. A lot of people are brain dead to be honest.
We cannot seem to understand global issues and we are not well informed. And when we consider ourselves as well informed, we are always informed by our selected media that fits our political or cultural ideology.


education would be a good place to start: https://ourworldindata.org/global-education but your right, media is now a global problem and I have yet to see a meaningful attempt by governments to properly combat this issue. To my mind most people are not politically inclined, and are too easily spoonfed a narrative which is not 100% factual, or rather that is knowingly false or misleading. the spectrum is quite bad with countries on both ends of the scale.

I don't even think education is enough anymore.
We need people with common sense and more people with the ability to pierce through the fog of propaganda.

Common sense. Cultivated by centuries based on the experience of retrogrades which already turned to dust. It requires a meditation to rethink all of this.

If I remember correctly it's an old Chinese curse to wish someone to live in the time of changes so if we truly seek peace then we have to sacrifice everything and come down a notch.

The best Putin can do for his illegitimate war:

At least 12 dead in Russian bombings on Severodonetsk. Most of the shots have affected residential buildings.
