One of the blackpill truths is that almost every successful civilization in history has been a patriarchy because women can't run things. But there is also another blackpill, which is in regards to democracy...
Many people think democracy is a recent invention and that the reason it was virtually unheard of in the past was because people were simply not educated. That's not true. The ancient Greeks had democracy. The Romans had democracy. There are cases of democracy in the ancient past. And yet, just like matriarchies they all collapsed and/or were very rare. Why is that?
Fact of the matter is, if democracy was superior to autocracy then evolution and natural selection would have favored it over autocratic forms of organization. But it did not. Virtually all societies in history have been autocratic, and the few ones that were not ultimately failed, much like matriarchies always failed. This is proof that just like matriarchy democracy creates too many perverse incentives and always leads to eventual failure. And this isn't merely because of women voting since ancient democracies still failed despite no women being allowed to vote.
