Re: In the end ...

"We either have a system that ensures some kind of dictatorship (benign or otherwise); or allow that 'stupid' will occasionally/often win the day and live with the consequences."

Consequences including taking the rest of us with them. Thus why you can't escape American imperialism or Facebook: because you get caught up by Stupid even without your intervention. So I say you MUST find a way to argue with Stupid. Otherwise, you're basically conceding we're stranded up the mountain, staring up at the avalanche and realizing the only option left is to curl up and pray.
