ADHD is a spook

2018-12-06 18:44:27 UTC  

I do not take speed

2018-12-06 18:44:33 UTC  

I do not take stimulants

2018-12-06 18:46:14 UTC  

So, basically, soma?

2018-12-06 18:49:11 UTC  

You are making it out to be worse than it is

2018-12-06 18:58:19 UTC  

I need some arguments for democracy im doing a informative report and all I can think of is critiques and surface arguments

2018-12-06 18:59:38 UTC  

Democracy makes people inherently more content with the government, since they feel they are personally represented or active in a government

2018-12-06 18:59:54 UTC  

They are more structurally stable since their existence does not revolve around one personality

2018-12-06 19:00:43 UTC  

He said arguments for, not against.

2018-12-06 19:00:54 UTC  

These are arguments for democracy

2018-12-06 19:00:54 UTC  

^

2018-12-06 19:01:16 UTC  

I don’t understand how those are critiques

2018-12-06 19:01:27 UTC  

They can be seen that way but I dont want many people involved in government

2018-12-06 19:01:42 UTC  

They are too swayed by speakers and their peers.

2018-12-06 19:01:47 UTC  

Ill add it

2018-12-06 19:01:47 UTC  

Aren’t you doing an informative report on Democracy?

2018-12-06 19:01:51 UTC  

Yeah

2018-12-06 19:02:14 UTC  

representative democracies are still democracies

2018-12-06 19:02:32 UTC  

There is a reason the United States is he longest continuous government in the world today

2018-12-06 19:02:38 UTC  

Also in history

2018-12-06 19:03:11 UTC  

Federal separation of powers help with that though, it’s not the same as parliamentary democracy, which may be what you are feeling to read up on

2018-12-06 19:04:03 UTC  

Also, the people that can be easily swayed are discontent. They aren’t looking for the best solutions, they are just looking for solutions

2018-12-06 19:04:08 UTC  

No reason the government is still standing is the constitution

2018-12-06 19:04:09 UTC  

You can apply the same logic to coups

2018-12-06 19:04:27 UTC  

there is no flawless system under which humans can live CMM

2018-12-06 19:04:45 UTC

2018-12-06 19:05:48 UTC  

im not againt democracy or anything im just convinced we will never find the perfect option

2018-12-06 19:05:55 UTC  

as people will shit on each other regardless

2018-12-06 19:06:02 UTC  

I seriously have no good arguments for democracy. I'm trying to think of one.

2018-12-06 19:06:07 UTC  

I thought that was the assumption everyone had

2018-12-06 19:06:26 UTC  

Well, there are no good arguments for any system of government if you think about it

2018-12-06 19:06:31 UTC  

democracy is inherently bad as it is based on opinion and not on facts

2018-12-06 19:06:44 UTC  

So are Autocracies

2018-12-06 19:06:55 UTC  

Democracy allows any gang that can muster enough votes oppress the minority

2018-12-06 19:06:57 UTC  

Plenty of good arguments for ancapistan

2018-12-06 19:06:58 UTC  

Autocracies even worse so since there is no easy way to kick them out

2018-12-06 19:07:21 UTC  

Then you have people like Mao or Stalin which made life hell for millions

2018-12-06 19:07:23 UTC  

autocracy is like democracy but only the opinion of a few people

2018-12-06 19:07:26 UTC  

And the people could do nothing

2018-12-06 19:07:32 UTC  

No, that’s oligarchy
