@samoja democracy is mob rule my dude, which is harder to overcome than a single person. The magna carta wasn't upheld until it could no longer be held. The only obstacle that upholds liberty is force - force applied by the people against tyrants. Everything else is a measure of trust
This is why America is the least degraded of the Western nations. Until rather recently, relatively speaking, the people were allowed to apply military level force to government bodies, and as such they rarely needed to

@Beemann No, it's the threat of force combined with desire to get reelected, the issue is really human nature, people seem biologically predisposed to obey those they see as authority, that has been proven time and time again, that's how a dictator can cut trough red tape, first time he orders a government agency to do something illegal, and gets away with it it's game over.

arguing about the method of government and what races actually are is all fun, but what are you guys going to do when we are all going to die nomatter what race or creed we hold?

were in peak oil, peak coal is around the corner

@samoja m8, reelection is only a factor as long as everyone plays by the rules. Authoritarians dont stop just because their term is up. It's also funny that you say "first time he orders a government agency to do something illegal, and gets away with it it's game over." considering Canada and the 'States have both had government administrations break laws and curb the rights of their people. It is, in fact, now precedent that things work in that manner. I guess it's been game over for decades now. When's the dictator coming in?

May we acknowledge that it isn't just the executive branch which may break the law. Legislatures have a habit of passing laws which extend beyond the scope of their power and require the courts to axe.

I don't know if it's relevant, I haven't been paying attention. Just thought it offered some perspective to "one wrong move and it's over."

Oh, don't even get me started on the institutional corruption and overreach of the judiciary.

Most of the US government is unconstitutional

It'll take a convention of states to unfuck the US gubbamint.

The nation is in dire need of being reforged.

so whats tonights debate folks?

Is it economically feasible to recolonize Africa?

Does this mean anything important?

That conservatives better get ready to go to the happy fun totally not terrible gulags.

Its not like conservatives are much better than the left.

One side says pedo, the other says nazi is the only difference

I never hear them say pedo seriously.

Hey, criticism is fair, but are we really going to say that the conservatives are as bad as the current left?

Commie would be a more apt word of choice than Pedo

But I'd argue many of them embrace the term

If they want traditional gender roles with all the violence against women act crap and refusing to this day to let men vote (they can earn the vote by signing up to the draft just like women could vote prior to 1920, it just wasnt enshrined federally or in the UK they could vote just as long as men could if they fulfilled the same conditions EXCEPT being draftable)

well then yeah

Whereas calling someone advocating for minimal government a nazi is strictly untrue

yeah it is untrue

But calling a pedo is typicly untrue. Not neccessarily but typicly

Sure. Who uses that?

And when they then say that pedos should be shot or some such crap... like how authoritarian can you get?

Who calls ALL THE LEFT pedos the same way?

It's false equivalency.

i guess its more limited but what they think is justified by the mental state of someone is preeettty similar

Seriously, though. Who?

I've never heard it.

Doesn't mean it doesn't exist

I believe Steven Crowder takes a very firm stance on pedophiles, but to my knowledge his position is an outlier.

```One side says pedo, the other says nazi is the only difference```

How do you quote like that?

```

Tildes.

Thank you.

Encase it. Two tildes or three. Different effects.

According to the Left, I'm a nazi.
