you dont need to be an atheist or religious person to know what is based

2019-04-26 02:15:51 UTC  

State religions,

2019-04-26 02:15:57 UTC  

Historically lead to really fucked up stuff.

2019-04-26 02:16:05 UTC  

Taken out of context.

2019-04-26 02:16:22 UTC  

If you take Islam from the 1000s and apply it today's standard

2019-04-26 02:16:27 UTC  

"holy shit, TAXES ON NON-MUSLIMS?"

2019-04-26 02:16:30 UTC  

"WHAT THE FUCK GUYS"

2019-04-26 02:16:40 UTC  

"WHAT??? PUBLIC STONING ON SINFUL PEOPLE?"

2019-04-26 02:16:56 UTC  

Yeah, so under religious law that happened.

2019-04-26 02:17:01 UTC  

Like Plato once said, different forms of government exist on different forms of context.

2019-04-26 02:17:06 UTC  

And under modern religious law Saudi Arabia still hangs gay people.

2019-04-26 02:17:16 UTC  

And under religious law, typically bad things happen.

2019-04-26 02:17:26 UTC  

Only because our context change.

2019-04-26 02:17:28 UTC  

I would suggest culture based governments,

2019-04-26 02:17:32 UTC  

Not religious based governments.

2019-04-26 02:17:43 UTC  

those are called ideologically-based government

2019-04-26 02:17:48 UTC  

and i rather not have another hitler or stalin again

2019-04-26 02:17:54 UTC  

Not what I mean.

2019-04-26 02:17:55 UTC  

Stalin was too based for his country

2019-04-26 02:17:59 UTC  

Basically cultures function different.

2019-04-26 02:18:01 UTC  

For example,

2019-04-26 02:18:03 UTC  

Among Europeans,

2019-04-26 02:18:06 UTC  

Democracy is fairly popular.

2019-04-26 02:18:07 UTC  

GG @Ishkode, you just advanced to level 2!

2019-04-26 02:18:10 UTC  

But among my people,

2019-04-26 02:18:16 UTC  

It leads to massive problems of corruption.

2019-04-26 02:18:28 UTC  

Because since we have such large and disrpoportionate families,

2019-04-26 02:18:31 UTC  

np

2019-04-26 02:18:34 UTC  

One family can dominate the entire nation.

2019-04-26 02:18:36 UTC  

follow my child

2019-04-26 02:18:38 UTC  

become the monarchy

2019-04-26 02:18:41 UTC  

No.

2019-04-26 02:18:52 UTC  

Instead it's universally agreed we need our traditional government.

2019-04-26 02:18:58 UTC  

Which instead focused around these families.

2019-04-26 02:19:01 UTC  

Which we called clans.

2019-04-26 02:19:07 UTC  

ergo join the monarchy

2019-04-26 02:19:14 UTC  

Each clan had an equal say to one another,

2019-04-26 02:19:18 UTC  

Democracy is the only "best government" because it pretends to give you a voice

2019-04-26 02:19:21 UTC  

And a function of governing entrusted to them.

2019-04-26 02:19:28 UTC  

But most people in the United States don't even use the voice given to them

2019-04-26 02:19:30 UTC  

Hence it worked better for my people than democracy.
