"holy shit, TAXES ON NON-MUSLIMS?"
"WHAT THE FUCK GUYS"
"WHAT??? PUBLIC STONING ON SINFUL PEOPLE?"
Yeah, so under religious law that happened.
Like Plato once said, different forms of government exist on different forms of context.
And under modern religious law Saudi Arabia still hangs gay people.
And under religious law, typically bad things happen.
Only because our context change.
I would suggest culture based governments,
Not religious based governments.
those are called ideologically-based government
and i rather not have another hitler or stalin again
Not what I mean.
Stalin was too based for his country
Basically cultures function different.
For example,
Among Europeans,
Democracy is fairly popular.
But among my people,
Because since we have such large and disrpoportionate families,
np
One family can dominate the entire nation.
follow my child
become the monarchy
No.
Instead it's universally agreed we need our traditional government.
Which instead focused around these families.
Which we called clans.
ergo join the monarchy
Each clan had an equal say to one another,
Democracy is the only "best government" because it pretends to give you a voice
And a function of governing entrusted to them.
But most people in the United States don't even use the voice given to them
Hence it worked better for my people than democracy.
Which is what I mean by culturally centered governments.
except you do realize
religion is a culture
To a degree.
To a much higher degree
