There is a huge lesson to be learned here for everyone who hadn't before. If we let the rich govern our states or give populists and radical to extremist forces any power, they will try to dismantle a stable state for either their own gain or for a certain ideology they wanna push by force.<br>Looking over to the US, we must not make the same mistakes and make absolutely sure, that our checks and balances, especially the judicial branch, are safe from (foreign) interference and extremist power grabs.</p><p>Now that this is out there,</p><p>thanks for listening to my TED talk, have a nice day, take good care of yourself and spread some love to the people around you :)</p>
