Democracies inherently threatened* Why?

Human begins, a vast  majority of them ( 90% or more) are constantly trying to survive . With their hopes and aspirations or  with the mere task of managing couple of meals per day. They live by the day. Few have the time or the intrest for statecraft, governance, rights , equality and thus democracy. At most religion occupies their left over time. Education is only for survival and not for knowledge and wisdom. 

It's the nature of people then to be led, told what to do, what to think and what to beleive, whom to trust and whom to hate, what is right and wrong. 

They leave all this  to those who lead them.

So its easy for  those like Trump, Modi, Putin, Netanyahu, Khameni, Jihadis, Taliban, RSS, Maoists, khlu klax kan and the likes to   control peoole. The Trump and Modi Bhakts, the islamists, the christian extreme right, the Jews and many,  are led like cattle and they follow! A huge mass of humans, across continents, act like zombies and are directed   what to do, think  and act .  

UK , EU  citizens are a trifle lucky in a  way,  as they have yet to have a Trump or a Modi, at least in the last 8 or 9 decades. Germany had its fill from Hitler. 

Poor  UK/ EU guys, they have to do the thinking and acting,  partly themself!! And also survive and live!! 

So is democracy a fad? or a myth?

Well, if you look at alternatives, that's a dead end. 

Implying humans  as a race are condemed by what we are. Let the Robots take over please.
