"You know, it's pretty easy to poke holes in something. It's another thing entirely to come up with something better."
I have no problems with coming up with something better. More like 3 a day before breakfast; I'd just have problems making people actually go along with whatever I would come up with. But you know what? If people are so fucked that even I can't magically solve it, that doesn't mean I can't say they're fucked. It just means they're gonna pout and roll their eyes, none of which is news or unexpected.
"There hasn't been a single political system that hasn't been corrupted."
What's your point? That therefore criticism isn't allowed? That naive believe in cynical manipulation is not an issue?
Also, was I talking about a "system"? No, I was talking about specific circumstances, an actual situation, and individuals and their responsibilitie.
But of course, it's easier to just throw some mud into a completely different direction, not hitting anything, and then deluding oneself into having dealt with the issue just nicely, than to actually address any of it.

Perhaps because you don't actually share your "something better"?
Two posts in, lots of words, still no alternatives.
