Democracy at work?

Does anyone still think there is such a thing as democracy?

The mass media now controls every aspect of our lives, our young people in general have been "brainwashed" as effectively as those in N Korea.
Our education system for the masses is a joke, simply containment till they can be quiety got rid of... into the benefits sludge.

However, the endgame is at last in sight, the biggest impediment being the "we can fix it liberals"
