    I agree.

    The system is broken because the minority wanted it designed broken: https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Madison/01-10-02-0065

    They wanted a way to launder the votes of their slaves and this worked.

    The real problem is that a sane majority will lose to a fanatic minority every single time. The only counterexample I can see is the American civil war, and it was close.

    Us sane people simply have too much meaningful shit to worry about, which is why we didn’t care about civil rights until the 60s.

    Once the terror has died down in Israel there’s a chance we can have a discussion, but I doubt it, the right will take credit, their narrative is that the weak opposition couldn’t do what was necessary, therefore they must keep power for the good of Israel.

    And nobody will fight them because they are fucking insane, last time they assassinated the PM, Bibi himself got power for inciting that.

    You can’t fight crazy, you get hurt and they get aroused.

    I’m not saying there’s no solution, I’m saying there’s no simple or easy solution.
