That's an interesting argument for direct democracy, which I haven't heard before.
I've used it as an argument for libertarianism initially, because direct democracy is kinda impractical (thought me back then, LOL), but having grown up a bit I see the need for big militaries and in general synchronous pooling of resources, which libertarian models are notoriously not very good at.
But right now things just as impractical as direct democracy are implemented everywhere, so times have changed.
