try current Russia, USA, China, India. all extremely large countries where nobody gives a shit about human rights or democracy and where human lives aren't worth shit. look at how high-level corruption abounds.
look at UK and france with their >60M and how they're both slowly turning into police states.
now look at those tiny european/nordic countries like iceland (where they actually made a revolution to overthrow a very corrupt government and
everything turned out fine) and all the other snowed-in countries up north, where people have dignity and human lives and rights are valued and the voices of people are heard. paraphrasing (a quotation commonly misattributed to) stalin, a single ignored citizen is a tragedy, a million is a statistic. how long will it take us to understand that democracy does not scale?
