Since we periodically elect such parties and people, apparently we get what we deserve. Shitty governments, consisting of people, who care more about their own deep pockets, rather than improving the status quo. Every 4 years we have men in black walking around blitzdingsing everyone apparently, to forget how bad the government before the current one was and then we reelect those. Now "new" to the mix we have AfD and BSW, which are so far removed from reality, that I don't even know how to describe them any longer.
Of course part of this is by design, letting the education sector drift into becoming utter crap. Wouldn't want a populace capable of thinking for themselves, now would we? And as such maybe we do deserve better, but are somehow incapable of voting ourselves out of the bad situation we are in. Doesn't help at all, that there is a growing aging polulation, that is basically not actually capable of living democracy and simply always and forever votes for corrupt gangs, oops, I mean parties.
I expect from a person valuing and living in a democracy, to actually inform themselves before voting, instead of letting calcified brain cells vote. Maybe I am asking too much here, but all it takes is 2-4h once every couple of years, and not only thinking of oneself, actually being a member of society and understanding oneself as such.
