Sorry to say this but you are sadly delusional if you think any of he Western shamocrises are actually democratic in any meaningful way. Yes you can play at being a rebel, and call marches and sign petitions (Biggest street protests took place yet still the politicians gave the green light to invade and destroy Iraq) you can form a rock band and call the Queen or President shitty names and not get arrested; all such actions are tolerated.ignored like an indulgent parent treats the teenager who will grow up to inherit the family business. But watch what happens to people who actually scratch the surface of the dmoractic sham states, and therefore pose a real threat, such as Julian Assange, Katherine Gun, Chelsea Manning, etc etc. See what happens to them? Then there in the shadows of the sham democracies, are the thousands of people who bring a case to the courts for all manner of wrongdoings within the institutions of the State; they are offered a settlement ie money, to shut up and go away. Thus silenced they get chronic illnesses and fade away.
