In Finland we know what to do if we dont like government.
Some farmers were angry for not getting enough money from government for supporting their farming. So they drove to one of the biggest market squares in our huge capital city.

Hey it's almost like there's a correlation between education and civic engagement.

It's almost like you're familiar with instances where people protested in your own country and not aware of instances where it happens in foreign countries. Having lived in large American cities for >90% of my life I can assure you similar protests happen regularly and with success.

I don't, intelligence and education aren't the same thing.

But you have to consider that Europe already has a tradition of welfare and socialization and these ideas are diffuse in the European education system. A lot of stuff that's obvious for you isn't so for the average American. Also, you can't compare Fennoscandian education to the rest of the world dude, everyone else will always be less educated than you.

Democracy to the extreme where all issues are voted on by the population rather than being negotiated between representatives of the population. In the age of nearly instantaneous information sharing, it's possible, but I don't think it wise.

As a nation of blood and soil I have no quarrel with Amerika. As a vehicle of global subversion and empire I am significantly less keen on it.

Americans could make app like tinder.
Each morning, every citizen would open the app and check out few dozen decisions. Swiping right for yes and left for no.
