    I’m not sure it’s that different. In place of a real personality, you get the country’s persona. With US foreign policy for example it matters little who leads because they are adhering to the persona. While the majority of Americans don’t want war, the US persona does. That results in the same thing (a population ruled by one idea set) just a hologram of person rather than an actual one.

      Bro it’s very different. You think America run by Chairman Musk is indistinguishable from president Biden?

        I hate the death of nuance. Yes, the US and many others are very flawed democracies, but that doesn’t mean they’re the same as north korea…

          Yeah I mean the DPRK has had much more local democracy, especially since the taean work system has increased worker self management
