I don't know why people think direct democracy is at all good. What evidence is there that the majority know what's best for them?

It just sounds nice to say things like "government for the people by the people". In reality, I see no reason why everyone should have the right to vote. To be honest, I'm not even sure if I think I personally should have the right to vote.

Think of it like this: Do you think a body studying quantum theory would or should let anyone join? Or do you think they should only let people who have expertise in quantum theory? Similarly, why would anyone be allowed to vote? Why the hell do I even want a government run by me when I personally don't understand economics or civics to a level worth any real note?

Absolutely! In fact while we're at it I think the government should choose my career path for me and have cctv in my house- with audio too so they can let me know if I'm doing anything wrong.

Let's also have a social credit score, make sure you're a good dog! Come on boys walkies!

@BritishFailedAesthetic You're being sarcastic, but truthfully I don't care about being called an authoritarian. I care about results, not high in the sky pipedreams. The chinese people, for all the autocratic rule they put up with, will still have a future secured for them. They are a super power for a reason, and america is becoming less of a super power.

@BRUUH Forget China, we should all sponsor you to settle in North Korea- ideal place for your sort.

@BritishFailedAesthetic Your sarcasm ignores the fact that there is a balance? Like, you do know shit is on a spectrum. Have total anarchy, and it's chaos. Have totalitarianism and you people can't think freely. There is obviously a balance between north korea and a society as degenerate and foolish as the west. Just scroll through tiktok and deadass tell me you think "the common man" is a beautiful being deserving of freedom and such.

@BritishFailedAesthetic A meritocratic republic of junzi is what I think would make the best system. This is not much different than what Plato or Confucious thought. Tell me why that's inferior to what the majority of people vote on gets us? If i'm sooo wrong, then you can tell me, right?

The CCP has secured a future for chinese people. It's neighbor, Japan, does not have such security. Japanen men are masturbating every day of their lives to tenticle hentai until they shoot themselves in the head. They are below replacement. Why is that better than the CCP, which aims to make it's chinese men more masculine and capable?

@BritishFailedAesthetic Hell I think a Clan system is pretty based. On some ancient japanese shit where we are all members of large clans ran by a badass patriarch. That shit is str8 🔥. Democracy is comparatively lame

@BRUUH You sound like a Communist Andrew Tate fan 😂

@BritishFailedAesthetic I think Andrew Tate has many destructive messages about the youth. If anything, it's the fact that a guy like him is so loved that should convince YOU that "the people" or "the common man" is not the one's who should run the economy.
