I have never understood why people think democracy is the ultimate goal, it is not

individual liberty is the ultimate goal. One way we have been able to get that is via a limited democratic process (key word limited)

Democracy unrestrained is just Mob Rules and almost always ends in Dictatorship, or Authoritarian Theocracy

>>and all of that stuff so popular in the US?

Tell me you do not know anything about American history, or US politics with out telling me...

Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

Edit: it looks like you've been using HN primarily for ideological battle. We ban accounts that do that, regardless of which ideology they like or dislike—it's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. If you want to keep commenting on HN, we need you to stop doing this. More explanation here in case it's helpful: https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...
