There is this post complaining me not silencing opinions they don't like. Would I be welcome to move my community to this instance and allow discussion like seen in this thread: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/37235684
Democracy as a literal political system was traditionally rejected as a bad political philosophy, the "two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner", which promoted a "tyranny of the majority".
Plato famously rejected democracy in his book "The Republic". Modern anarcho-capitalist writer Hans-Hermann Hoppe wrote an anti-democratic book, "Democracy: The God That Failed" which argued many bad effects come from transitions of governments from traditional monarchist governments to modern "democratic" governments.
The Republic of the U.S. was structured to minimize the problems of democracy (or "mob rule"); so the U.S. is "anti-democracy" in this respect.
The word "democracy" has been generically used to mean a sense of participation in society and politics, or of "having a say" in what decisions are made, or of encouraging individual initiative. These kinds of things aren't really intrinsic to democracy as a political system, though.
I think a lot can be said about it - it seems like a win for the drivers, but I can also see how it could be an inconvenience to the users...
But, overall, it's a W, right?
Or am I missing something?
I do not live in a place that has doordash, and our food delivery service is not really done in a comparable way at all, so I cannot acutally fully relate to what is going on.
