you are a stooge for the state.
Oh absolutely, because rebelling against basic societal rules and contributing nothing has always been the key to dismantling the all-powerful state. They must be terrified of your... non-compliance?
are you seriously comparing native american society to modern "democratic" society? have you lost every marble in your head?
I don't. You brought them into the conversation, not me. The point is, many pre-colonial Native American tribes had functioning structures, even if different from our modern democracies. These structures involved complex leadership systems with councils, chiefs, and representatives - all chosen by the people. So, like I said before, next time you should really learn some history.
one major and profound difference being, each member of the tribe actually could go talk to their tribal chief and explain their worries and concerns.. good luck getting a meeting with the potus.
the other being, they did not have anywhere near the amount of regulations and laws that modern society does, the governance structures were extremely loose and basic.
democracy in small groups works, that is patently obvious.
democracy in large groups (try 330 million) does not work and cannot even be considered democracy
