Getting rid of democracy wouldn't address the crises we actually face.

@devolved stop being a nigger

yes

@༺པརབྱར།བསངཇ༻ I DISAGREE

IT IS NOT THE CORE, BUT IT IS THE PERPETUATION

HOWEVER

THIS IS HIGHLY CONTINGENT ON WHAT IT IS REPLACED WITH

HITLER/STALIN/MUSSOLINI = FAIL

ARISTOCRACY = YES

I look at it in terms of: 1) who owns the economy 2) what does the established political system offer to the owners in terms of protections from replacement.

Aristocracy wouldn't change hands

It would just make our retarded plutocrats immune to anything but the noose

NOT VERY RELEVANT

ARISTOCRACY ELIMINATES PERVERSE INCENTIVES

DEMOCRACY NURTURES THEM

There's also cultural or rather religious narratives in place that guarantee the draw down of irreplaceable resources will continue as we exponentially increase the amount of landfill both on the ground and in the air

ARISTOCRACY WOULD, BY DEFINITION, ENTIRELY CHANGE HANDS

I DISAGREE

WE EXPAND BECAUSE WE CAN

PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS WANT THAT

IF YOU REMOVE SOCIAL MOBILITY, YOU HAVE LESS OF A PROBLEM

It's cool man I know we have some fundamental disagreements here

No point in beating it up

Hippie

Why don't you just ban me again devolved

file this one under "he picked his battles"

It's times like these where we should just have kebab, gay porn and chill

Oh

cliffs?

I can't understand jack shit o that

PESSIMISTIC ON CURRENT WEB

OPTIMISTIC ON MESH NETWORKS

BUT COUCHED IN VAGARIES AT THIS TIME

TAKEAWAY 1: "The Web may die like most other technologies do, simply by becoming less attractive than newer technologies."
