Can be personal or external but what is something (you believe/see reflected so strongly in reality) AND (!(OR) the world of ideas)

AND but not OR

Please stick to that which you are confident about and holds to at least the spirit of the question

People's democracy > Liberal democracy
The (current) scientific method is as flawed as liberal democracy.
And they're actually very similar in that both started out as 'free-for-all' little narratives that fall apart when you start asking the important questions and both "work" through attempts to patch up it's major inconsistencies which leaves even more inconsistencies and then patch up those inconsistencies which leaves even more inconsistencies and then continue the process until it becomes a complicated mess.
People who flip out calling for the death for anyone who does X, can and will at any time do X if X becomes popular enough. Even on a dime and unapologetic.
