I think what you’re saying, the non-peaceful coexistence, is a symptom, it’s not the root cause. The root cause is that when emergency happens, our gut instinct among population is not more democracy; it’s not collective intelligence at the moment; it’s not going to the social sector at the moment. Every time there’s a emergency or urgency, there’s another chance for authoritarian tendencies to gain ground even within developed democracies.
