After listening to the debate (which had some interesting moments) it sounds like Liberland is finding out what happens when you allow 4 people to hold 60% of all the power.
And the main thing that happens is: the average person is no longer incentivized to participate. No country can run when only 4 people are happy and everyone else is resentful.
The merit system needs a dramatic overhaul to have any chance at being part of a working country. Though even if drastically changed, will Liberlanders ever have any trust for such a system. Once bitten, twice shy.
America has performed well through the centuries because the average person has, at a bare minimum, the illusion that their vote counts and that they can have a tiny effect on the system. Currently that illusion has been shattered here with the reveal of the Epstein class of pedovores, so something dramatic has to change in the US to continue on successfully.
The illusion has been shattered for liberlanders because it is obvious to them that 4 people can vote themselves in indefinitely and veto anything they don’t like. How long will those 4 continue on a path of self-destruction before they realize the necessity of having the average masses being active participants…?
