I know what the results are supposed to tell us, but still I am sceptical about what those who said that they were disillusioned by #Democracy might think about their desired future outlook, what should change and how this change should be achieved.

Of course not every person who says that it rated Liberal Democracy rather negative prefers authoritarian or generally totalitarian structures; but we do have a tendency towards incentives that could require a more proactive state with further duties and rights to intervene in

society (surveillance, police state) and the market (Socialism at worst).
As I said, not everyone falls through this riposte, not everyone would like to see a Big Brother or a GUlag-building totalitarian who sent rich people off because they are rich.
But we clearly walk into

the wrong direction.

Luckily, we can see that at least some of the people who expressed their disliking have good reason to do so: States appear impotent towards the crises of our time, and many of them fear of falling into poverty and an uninhabitable world. They want the

state to finally get its arse up and get things done. As he doesn't do that, they think that something has to change, and blame the Liberal Democracy's status quo as the reason for why it does not happen.

Maybe this could be a reason to relieve over this study, rather than mark

millennials as the trailblazers of a new totalitarian era.

Or maybe they are?: axios.com/millennials-vo…
