FR is infested with losers who are heavily invested in deaftism, DU trolls and agent provocateurs trying to smash morale.

Tocqueville estimated a democracy would last about 200 years before it would self destruct in the manner described by Heinlein.
‘Bread and Circuses’ is the cancer of democracy, the fatal disease for which there is no cure. Democracy often works beautifully at first. But once a state extends the franchise to every warm body, be he producer or parasite, that day marks the beginning of the end of the state. For when the plebs discover that they can vote themselves bread and circuses without limit and that the productive members of the body politic cannot stop them, they will do so, until the state bleeds to death, or in its weakened condition the state succumbs to an invader—the barbarians enter Rome.”
— Robert A. Heinlein
You do know that that was a key point of Alinskyism .... inducing a feeling of defeat and helplessness in the Main Enemy.

The Russians called such induced dispiritment a key strategic objective in their geopolitical struggle against members of the Western community. Their name for it was novolya, or "lack of will".
Good point.
