How true is this?

@Xuan12 Do you have anything of consequence to say?

@hippyjoe1955 Do you? I got the impression that you disapproved of hypocrisy from your post, but clearly I was wrong, you don't care about it. So what's your point?

@Xuan12 Yawn. You must have had your feathers ruffled. Bwahahahahahahahaha. leftists. Gotta laugh at them because they can't laugh at themselves.

@hippyjoe1955 Maybe. But why did you post? If you're not concerned with hypocrisy what are you complaining about? Can you answer that?

@Xuan12 I don't have to answer anything. If you don't like it don't read it. Is that a hard concept to understand? Oh yeah I forgot you are a leftist so dissenting opinions must be removed. Snort.

@hippyjoe1955 Here I am reading what you wrote and asking why you said it, and you're avoiding the question. I haven't forced you not to say anything, nor could I. You're choosing not to answer. I'm literally asking you what you're thinking, and you don't want to say. You're oppressing yourself. Why?

@Xuan12 I am not avoiding anything. I am simply pointing out that if there is a pure majority rule all other rules are null and void. The majority simply decides because it is the majority.

@hippyjoe1955 We don't have majority rule. So the question remains, what is your complaint? You've shown indifference to hypocrisy, and you complain about a system that doesn't exist. What are you really trying to express?

@Xuan12 Yes thankfully you don't have majority rule because if you did you would soon have another civil war on your hands. The first one was about majority taking away state's rights too.

@hippyjoe1955 Are you saying that civil wars don't happen when a minority rules over a majority? I don't think history would show that to be true. Would you?

@Xuan12 I am saying that when the majority has all the power the majority imposes its will on those who do not have power. I guess you haven't had any life experience if you don't get this simple fact.

@hippyjoe1955 Is that worse than a minority imposing its will on the majority?

@Xuan12 The minority doesn't impose its will. It simply keeps the majority at bay.

@hippyjoe1955 So by that logic, do you think minorities should always rule?

@Xuan12 What are you muttering about? It is called compromise. One gives and the other gets and vice versa.

@hippyjoe1955 Why couldn't a majority compromise with a minority? It happens often. The US constitution was partially written by a majority compromising to a minority. And why wouldn't a minority oppress a majority? That happens often too. Truthfully, if you're not concerned with having a democratic society, power dynamics have nothing to do with majority/minority in itself. Heck, all the power could be centralized into one dictator, the ultimate minority rule, or diffused into everyone perfectly equally, anarchy. They both simply coalesce into groups of people with shared interests who's precise numbers may or may not have any meaning.

So since it seems we aren't talking about a democratic society, the question remains, what's your point?

@Xuan12 They don't need to compromise. If you have the power you don't need to so you don't. Simple human nature.

@hippyjoe1955 Precisely, minorities with the power don't need to compromise. They're perfectly capable of oppressing majorities, and often have. So when anyone who holds power could oppress the others, what is the best way to handle/distribute such power?

@Xuan12 Ah but they do have to compromise to get things done. They don't have the power to get things done otherwise.

@hippyjoe1955 🤔

@Xuan12 You are that clueless? Wow.

@hippyjoe1955 How much weekly in Bitcoin?

@CopperCicada What bitcoin? I gave all my wealth away years ago.

@hippyjoe1955 If you don't see the problem, you should really take a basic logic class or something.

@QuixoticSoul You are the one being illogical. Sad to say.
