🎶The quiet comprehending of the ending of it all.
There it is again, that funny feeling.🎵
Gentle(people), it’s been an honor shitposting with you.
It’s billionaires realizing they want feudalism back
Billionaires always think they want feudalism back.
But they don’t really. They want to replace everyone with robots without doing all the robot-development work.
It’s my own design…it’s my own remorse…
Someone has to play while Titanic sinks. Might as well be you.
American Democracy is slipping away.
The rest of us are doing fine.
There are enough morons in the UK clamouring for what the US has right now, so no, the rest of us aren’t okay.
What’s happening now in the US and UK was started by Reagan and Thatcher and it’s all been down hill since. Now, everyone hates the old guard of politics in those countries for allowing the future to be sold to the highest bidder. Reagan and Thatcher destroyed their own nation’s societies just so they could help their rich mates get even richer. I can understand why the US and UK are falling apart and why the people are looking for change because the old system stopped working for them. What we see now is the end result of 30-40 years of your Neo-liberal leader’s policies. Simply put, your chickens are coming home to roost.
We thought the very same thing as the Soviet Union collapsed in the 1980s-1990s.
Troubled waters of fascism and autocratic elites preponderate across the world, and will do so as long as we allow a few people to own almost everything.
You’ll get your turn in the barrel, and again.
Thankfully, my country has an advanced and well-thought-out constitution with compulsory voting for all citizens over 18. Changing the constitution of my country requires a “double majority”, meaning any proposed change must win a majority of the popular vote as well as win a majority of the states. If our Prime Minister refuses to follow the will of Parliament, He/She can be removed by the Governor-General and new elections can be called. Elections themselves are overseen by an independent commission who are responsible for organizing polling places, counting votes and setting the electorate borders every 10 years based on census data. Our legal system has it’s own method for choosing judges that is independent of the government, all the way up to our High Court (our version of the Supreme Court).
The result of all of this is that elections in my country are fought over boring stuff, like infrastructure, healthcare and education, and that’s just the way we like it. Pointless distractions like “culture war” nonsense don’t work here. Any politician that tries that stuff will find themselves isolated and ignored by the vast majority of voters.
Don’t you also have a tuckfun of money from the Templars? I may be thinking of the wrong nation, but nothing stabilizes a nation like the backing of a syndicate that doesn’t want its people asking too many questions. The Social Contract double-coked up on black lotus.
Templars? Mate, wrong hemisphere, wrong time period.
I was taking a wild guess. There are a lot of nations with a more robustly democratized government than mine.
