Democracy is far from being perfect reflection of what people want. Voters are manipulated and fooled all the time by media and millionth dollars election campaigns. And very often they have to chose between two evils, like in the last US election for example. That's a fact.
It's not the real control. It's another illusion to keep people in check.

People used by someone else with lies, or just because they are naive deserve second chance. We all make mistakes. Where you see a depersonalized society I see a group of people with unique faces, voices and dreams. I don't believe in collective responsibility. Also blaming society is very convienient. Puts you above them.

Most people in general want the same things. Peace, comfort life, wealth. Resources are limited though, so conflicts are hard to avoid. But I wouldn't call those desires of society. Rather universal basic human needs. Smaller groups inside the society are a different story. But we aren't talking about them.
And yes, societies will differ with means to get those needs, but again, that was not the point. We can call it evolution, despite I don't think it's the most suitable term, as evolution means upgrading, and changes in societies are often for the worse. But ok. Societies evolve. Human needs don't. War never changes.
As an example let's look at Nazi's Germany. Society was fooled by propaganda and scared by hit squads of ruling party. It's "desires" were in fact desires of Hitler'n'friends. You think holocaust and mass executions of civilians was, what German citizens wanted? Check the footages of Germans forced to visit concentration camps right after the war. They were promised better live and revenge for WW I humiliation. Kept in the dark till the end.

Elites that owns media, found election campaigns, hire countless lobbyst, abuse workers rights, evade taxes, use speculations to destabilize competition, lie, have no regards for people's health, etc, are the poor, powerless good guys? I'm sorry, what?
I get why you dislike many of moral standards, political correctness, and many general rules, but still you are pretty biased towards society.

Yes, I know this shit about Inquisition. I bet many of them even believed they were saving heretics from eternal torment in hell by torturing and burning them alive. It doesn't changes the fact that this was an unforgivable evil.

Mob will lynch, carried by emotions like fear and anger, without rational thinking. It's still less evil, than crime commited with premeditation. With cold blood.
