What an odd thing to say…

The reddit thread on this is full of people talking about this being the best year they’ve ever had, so… maybe not as great a system as they’re selling it to be?

Par for the course.

Simple as that.

The situation is nowhere near that simple. You just want to pretend it is so you don’t have to ask difficult questions that challenge your perspective, like why the current government is wildly unpopular.

Removing people’s ability to choose the government they desire is not democracy.

The solution being proposed here to prevent authoritarian systems is… other authoritarian systems. Can you understand why people see this as a problem brewing?

Maybe if you want to prevent such a hypothetical future the democratic solution is to offer something better for people to vote for, instead of using threats of violence by employing the law to enforce your systems.

Yes. Democracy is when you refuse to allow the people to have a say in their systems of governance.

So, what then? Do you think research on the subject is just spontaneously generated?

Except the climate research industry. They alone can be trusted to provide objective research regardless of who pays them.

Amazing how much easier it is to motivate yourself when you have the ability to make significant decisions on the fly, based on the immediate feedback you receive from the system, instead of spending half your time hitting your head against a wall attempting to sus out self-contradictory instructions given by people who don’t actually understand how any of it really works.
