I'm gonna try to articulate something I've been thinking about for a while, regarding *why* disillusionment, distrust, & dissatisfaction with democracy are rising.
Almost everything I read takes this phenomenon as an exogenous shock, assuming no one chose to make it so. I suspect that's incomplete.

‘Recognition’ of Palestine is simply colonial theatre. Palestine is a nation long occupied not ‘invented’ by imperial signatures. Anti-colonial solidarity means standing with a people whose sovereignty lives beyond Western permission. #FreePalestine #Decolonise
