Democracy is dead, but we can revive it through the right education

In the wake of the deadly riots in Washington, people all over the world are lamenting if democracy can survive.

I am sorry to be the bearer of bad need, but democracy cannot survive, since it is already dead.

Today we all live in a Matrix where the masses are totally manipulated and exploited, most obviously in the US. Democracy means "power of the people", it presumes "free choice", where can we find such notions today?!

If anybody needs any proof please watch the documentary "Social Dilemma". For us living outside of America the last 4 years was also a great example of this incessant manipulation, remote control over people, which is of course much more difficult to see for those who live in America, heavily invested in partisanship.

In order to revive democracy we would all need to disconnect from the Matrix and go through a unique, purposeful educational method, which can teach us, make us feel what it means to live in an integrated, interdependent world, where only through equal, mutually responsible, mutually complementing connections and cooperation can we solve the mounting global problems (and today each problem is global) and facilitate our collective survival (and today only collective survival is possible as we sit in the same, global boat).

And since we need to do this above and against our constantly growing selfish, individualistic egos, despite increasing mutual distrust, animosity, we need a very special education that can connect us above everything that rejects people from each other.
