    I know you weren’t, which is even more frustraring because we want the same things and the only reason I’m engaging :)

    Most of the rest of the western countries absolutely are oligarchies designed to maximise profits for a handful of people, some more than others, sometimes a good government happens for a cycle or two and then bad ones for a while. Doesn’t mean people can’t demand change and sometimes, not always, obtain it.

      Many of us have been demanding change for a very long time now. I certainly have. But the people in charge don’t want change. I still march for change, but I can’t make it happen.
