Been there, done that. Owned the world.

It will never be. It cannot be.

We all know how slow a democracy is. It takes a major event or crisis to stir up politicians to act in a timely manner and with vigor.

Now imagine the absolute dumpster fire that would need to burn to get 27 democracies to get their shit together. I doubt anything short of a full-scale invasion of EU territory by Russia would do.

The US was, for better or worse, a sort-of functioning democracy until the late 2010s. And it did quite well.

All it needed was a russian agent infiltrating the white house to damage the country

I think the horrible truth might just be that democracy is flawed. I don't know if there is anything that is better than it but clearly it can be infiltrated by bad actors.

Part of me really does wish that sci-fi AI existed that would just make the humans do the good things.
