Just wait'll the fascists take control in the next election, and it may become so here! (this statement works regardless of country or year or even party affiliation, unfortunately, but people are people)

Oh. Probably. That does sound boring though. :-| :-P
You are so very welcome my fellow Lemmy...ite? I dunno what we are called, and at this point I am afraid to ask!:-P
Oh, Lemmyian sounds cool!
There you go then, now we can all go nuts, flushing away!:-)
Okay well if you want to talk more about it we can but obviously not if you need a break. I did warn you... that video is... a LOT to have to process! I have watched it many times and still can't quite put my finger on it.
If in part it seems like it is missing something, note that it is: judgement. The creator does not say whether these things are "good" or "bad", as almost every other YouTuber does these days, but simply presents the information for us to make up our own judgements. Wow, such respect accorded to us!
Fwiw I think you are right about a lot of what you said: the forces of Globalization and Automation are changing our world, and Democracy isn't as necessary as it once was, to have e.g. advances in science, technology, and so on. e.g. Boeing planes can literally fall out of the sky, and what do trillionaires care for the loss of a few more of the masses, among the billions of people already on this planet, when they have computers and possibly a single pilot to fly their fleet of tens of private jets anywhere and however they want?
Anyway, rest easy - these things won't be solved overnight, or possibly at all, but either way they are kinda out of our hands.
I only do it once a day even - the flossing part before bed is by far the most important iirc.
"Need"? Not really.
"Want"? Absolutely, apparently.
But it is their house, so their rules, and the issue of corruption in the world won't be solved overnight. The same if someone says "you can't smoke weed at my house", okay then... you know what to do about it - find another house, or even make one on your own.:-)
Here's to hoping that it happens right at midnight for ya! :-D
Already ha... oh uh, I mean nope, I sure wouldn't do that, ossifer law! :-P
Username does check out! :-P
