"Democracy"

What is a democracy? I don't know anymore. But the more the world changes into some kind of weird dystopia, the more people repeat this word. WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGES. Press CC for English subtitles as an important part is in French. SOURCES: Michel Houellebecq reading Tocqueville: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtiJQZTqu9M

NOTE: The image from 9/11 is from "September Clues", a documentary that argues that the planes didn't exist and were added later as special effects. I can't say I agree with that theory, but the video is intriguing. It is not available on YouTube. Perhaps it was not a good idea to add it here without the context. Also, perhaps too many images of actual violence, for which I apologize. They did go well with Leonard Cohen's dark poem, but, they are not for sensitive people. Perhaps I should have toned it down a bit. Thanks.
