This is kind of how i understood China to work when i lived there. People there have the added bonus of theoretically being able to disclaim responsibility for their shitty government because nobody voted for it at all, but end of the day there's still a billion people just kinda sitting there, letting authoritarianism happen. The problem is, everyone still has to eat, still has to pay rent, still has to send their kids to school, still has to go to the hospital for emergency surgery... so what are you gonna do? Speak out against problematic party policies that your neighbors are (whether cynically or authentically) praising? Just dealing with everyday life takes up a lot of spoons, and challenging authoritarianism may cost a whole drawer full. Party leaders are careful not to cause too much mayhem in the mainstream of society, so that actually does allow most people to keep their heads down and survive it, more or less.

This has led me to believe that maintaining a society based on democratic norms is more difficult than just making

I take a few days away from ElJay and you end up catastrophically ill??? WTF girl, I need some kind of bat signal for this! I'm so sorry I missed seeing this and am glad you're on the upswing. Your care package is still being put together but I'll get it out to you tout suite. Take care of you.
