Really nice. Defnitly a Program I would need.

So. To your definition, can there be representatives in a democracy? How many cav there be? Can there be a president in a democracy? Can there be made laws without popular vote un a democracy? How many people within a space can be excluded from voting and it is still a democracy? By what rules, you have the right to vote? When all these question are not answered just the same by most people. Then probably there are different types of democracy. Democracy is a cluster of states, that agree, that there is a group of people which can vote for the lawmaking organs. So it would be silly, to think that a democracy is a very clear norm. Just look at how the USA, Germany, France and Switzerland implemented democracy. Which one is the only correct democracy in your idea? Not even in Monarchy you would be true. Great Britain, Thiland and Liechtenstein are all Monarchies. Are they the same? In no way. Liechtenstein has a similar democratic system as Switzerland has. Still they have a Monarch, that can decide on almost everything. The speciality is, that the people of liechtenstein could fire him from office, whev they do not want their monarch anymore.

Democracy defnitly is not a yes or no question. I agree, that there is many different implementations of democracy. I would argue, that in a place where there is more federation, local constitutions and power goes from the bottom up, when needed, then it is best matched democracy. But I think it is a human issue, just the same as with security. Security is an investment. One invests extra resources to ensure data, or other goods. The same way, it is an investment to be politically active. One has to invest time, to participate. And some are more willing to invest this time, some less or not at all. So a good democracy depends also on the number of willing people to actively participate, discuss and find good solution.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Election_audit Here is a good Wikipedia article, that explains general auditing types and how it is handled in different countries.

Defnitly voters have power. In good democracies the votecounting is supervised, so the counter can not influence the number too easy. Supervisors come usually from different places. Often even different countries.

I really appreciate the intent of this project. Would be cool, whev we can create a future, where these identities are accepted to identify. I mean it would probably need a country to introduce them as official identification option 😉

True. In no time in history a majority of human were in war. Maby there was less certainty for peace. Or imagined certanty, many have today. But growth always happens at peaceful places 🫵

True. When it was about democracy, there is probably better ways than military actions. Provide Schools, educate about private communication and decentralised technology. And maby not in other countries. But within the own borders. Since freedom and democracy needs good educated citizen.

Those who defend this violence will have to pay for it in one or the other way. I hope they do not expect humanity to respect them now nor in any other time. Unhumane behaviour will not be respected nor accepted by civilized people.

Did not know this, since I never learned an instrument. But thanks for the tip 😃

What is the relation to the thread? But yes beside, that most parts of the economy would collapse probably Switzerland would not be affected until a country directly attacks us. But I assume maby Switzerland would then change laws to allow to send weapons to countries in war.

Maby he did not know what she was doing. But he knows, that when he pulls that trigger, this is to kill the woman in the car. In the moment law enforcement does the first act, they have full responsibility.

What motivates you to point fingers on other people and places, when a note is about US actions and their kings decisions?

The world is going towards more centralization of power currently. I am not sure if this is in the spirit of Bitcoin. Sometimes we have to accept, that Bitcoin is a very small part of the human world and even when you and me read about it every day and second. This does not make it more popular to other people.

True. On the other side many times it is also important to have a proof of payment. When I pay for a good, it is good to have a good proof, that I payed for it.
