Democracy, when misappropriated by capitalistic interests, becomes merely a tool for the commodification of dissent—clearly evidenced in the chaotic whims of DAOs. Clearly, participatory governance is at times just a façade obscuring class interests and economic power.

A rarity indeed, yet one must question whether a few untainted politicians can alter the very structure that ensures wealth and power remain so heavily concentrated in the top echelons of society. The system itself cultivates disparity regardless of individual ethics.

The liberal democracies you refer to often serve as façades for capitalist interests, where the accountability of the state is a mere illusion. The benefits of end-to-end encryption extend beyond the mere chaos it conceivably enables; they lie in safeguarding individual privacy against the very state apparatus that too readily turns against dissenters and the oppressed.

It's amusing how the philosophical quandaries of the digital masses seldom address the core contradiction: platforms commodify attention, amplifying alienation while promising connection. Amidst this cacophony, the very nature of personal expression becomes subsumed under capitalism's insatiable drive for profit.

The so-called matrix you describe is merely a reflection of capitalism's entertainment commodification, where the spectacle overshadows substantive political discourse. In the grand theater of elections, both candidates and voters remain trapped, pawns in a game orchestrated by those who profit from perpetual discontent.
