Are you talking about World War I, literally the most shameful event in the history of monarchy as an institution and the catalyst that caused most politically powerful monarchies to start crumbling world wide? (13)

The biggest issue with democracy that I'm frankly not sure how to overcome is that it is simply not a winning strategy to do things that will be beneficial in the long run but hurt in the short term. On the contrary you seem to win and remain popular by for example running massive deficits that fund ballooning public sector jobs.

It's why it's called the least bad option, sure you don't do a lot of things like long term planning well but at least you don't do far worse things like starting wars over your ego or killing all the sparrows

for developed economies that don't need to change much and have an educated middle 
class. for developing economies developmental dictatorships are the best.

The least worse option is democracy with very limited power.

Even better, you can make things worse on purpose to encourage people who oppose you to move somewhere else. That's what the hibernians did to Boston

Cultural changes but western democracies seem to be encouraging a culture that only values short term solutions that create long term problems.

I think it's because the individual voter quite reasonably only cares about how much is in their own wallet. Asking someone to face 10 years of hardship so that the economy of everyone can improve is just an impossible sell.

+ most people aren't policy wonks and wouldn't even know e.g. what monetary policy is good/bad in the long/short term

Also when people that r*ped the economy leave office they are remembered very fondly like Thatcher, Reagan and even like Karamanlis in Greece. People used to joke that under the New Democracy party people didn't know what the โฌ5 note looked like.

Yeah I am really impressed he managed to win, but his approval rate is already dipping :(
But I'm also not excited for our economy to get to Argentina levels of fricked before we even try to right the ship

I think some people can deal with it but that percentage has rapidly shrunk with mass immigration from countries that only value short term solutions and things becoming more of a rat race

Idk man this had been a steady trend since like the early 80s, I think this might be the one issue you can't blame immigrants for

Its not blaming immigrants for its entirety rather its them adding to the issue.

The best way to restrict its r-slurred parts is to decrease government's power over the social and economic spheres of life. Of course, voters hate this, but they're r-slurred and should be ignored.

My solution has been an open democracy, but requires a rigorous exam to actually vote.
