This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

Where in modern history have voters influenced politicians like lobbyists? That's what has to happen to get results.

You are right about the danger of enabling fascists. But insulting me shouldn't be your refutation of the problem that voters benefit from the current situation.

Letting voters take responsibility is very difficult because it requires voters to see the details and their own faults. That doesn't justify the need for establishing a socialist elite. It just shows that it will take more effort than people are currently willing to invest.
