@derp said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

The flaws in democracy have been apparent since the first one was thought up. Plato wrote about it. Aristotle wrote about it. Extensively. It always, always leads to power creep and oppressive tactics. It's just inherent in the nature of the system.

Bearing in mind that part of the problem Aristotle and Plato had with democracy was that the "natural slaves" of the world got uppity rather than gratefully submitting to their betters, of course.
