You don’t think it be like it is, but it do: whenever the people try to implement the popular will, it is viewed as an attack on democracy.
This is very simple: democracy is not compatible with the popular will. It is an elitist system run by the media.
It’s good the Dutch are rising up. But the democracy rulers will just send the cops to smash their heads in eventually. Just like the truckers in Canada, they will be labeled terrorists as soon as the government decides it is out of control.
