Thats a funny thing to say as we watch the Trump presidency be strangled by the Deep State

2018-12-11 23:31:33 UTC  

The shift away from a feudal agricultural economy combined with the Enlightenment made the old order unsustainable.

I would prefer not to go into LARP territory regarding what it might take to salvage America, but I will say that there is a fundamental difference between having a revolution every few centuries as a last resort vs having it be the only means of achieving change. America went almost 200 years before the deep state was a thing

2018-12-11 23:36:45 UTC  

It's not LARPing so much as critique of democracy in the abstract. The upside of autocracy is the ability to affect change quickly. Democracy is meant to make change much harder. The Lows are higher but the highs are lower, as it were.

2018-12-11 23:39:48 UTC  

I don't support democracy per se. I want a constitutional republic with limited suffrage based on knowledge of history, civics, current events, etc. There would have to be guaranteed free speech online and a breakup of the Jewish oligopoly on media as well.

Any democratic form of government can only function properly in a homogeneous and patriotic country, I would add.

2018-12-11 23:41:13 UTC  

Ritualized complex combat maybe even in game form would be a good option for ruler selection

2018-12-11 23:41:38 UTC  

Rulers should command respect and loyalty of strong men

2018-12-11 23:42:11 UTC  

But lest we be ruled by Chads the combat should require analytical ability

2018-12-11 23:42:58 UTC  

You can do a lot worse than the quarterback president

2018-12-11 23:43:09 UTC  

But we could probably do better too with a better game

2018-12-11 23:43:36 UTC  

So Jiu Jitsu?

2018-12-11 23:43:46 UTC  

Jocko Wilink would rule the world

2018-12-11 23:43:48 UTC  

One key is that the teams can't be recruited for him . He needs to create his team from scratch

2018-12-11 23:43:55 UTC  

Prove his power to lead

2018-12-11 23:44:05 UTC  

Jocko would be a good dictator.

2018-12-11 23:44:33 UTC  

The King of Jordan basically is Jocko

2018-12-11 23:44:59 UTC  

@TMatthews and is highly suseptable to corruption.

2018-12-11 23:46:11 UTC  

This will all be obsolete when we can genetically engineer replicate and improve the perfect leader, coupled with mind writing technology to create an immortal prime conciousness

2018-12-11 23:46:30 UTC  

Haha

2018-12-11 23:46:50 UTC  

Immortal mind tempts the utopian principle.

2018-12-11 23:46:51 UTC  

Techno-medievalist Divinely Genetic predeterminist right to rule

2018-12-11 23:47:10 UTC  

None of this will matter when we are all stuffed into pleasure pods to live in our own personal matrix

2018-12-11 23:47:21 UTC  

Maybe we already are

2018-12-11 23:47:22 UTC  

No lie is detected

2018-12-11 23:47:53 UTC  

And these fevered dreams are the beginning of our birth from the pod mind into our original bodies

2018-12-11 23:47:54 UTC  

I'm definitely not in a pleasure pod yet...

2018-12-11 23:48:01 UTC  

Personal pleasure pods will exist before the robots take over.

2018-12-11 23:48:27 UTC  

If i was, I'd be in Iceland rn, NOT Maryland. <:sad:366743316475281408>

2018-12-11 23:48:32 UTC  

Embrace the age of the machine, they operate by pattern recognition

2018-12-11 23:48:53 UTC  

Too bad the birds are fake and cannot help us fight the robots. But you will find the last camp of humans on the edge of the icewall.

2018-12-11 23:49:00 UTC  

Before the birth you must become inverted with your head in the eath and feet in the heavens. #hangingman

2018-12-11 23:59:16 UTC  

Wow @metasophocles very interesting

2018-12-12 00:02:29 UTC  

Can't really take credit, I just searched techno-tarot for a fitting image, but esoterica has a propensity to appear at the perfect time and place

2018-12-12 00:02:39 UTC  

That's a nice rendition of the hanging man tarot

2018-12-12 00:03:23 UTC  

I find it hilarious that monarchists always resort to "well, you can overthrow the monarch"

2018-12-12 00:03:52 UTC  

ehhhh I'll take *not* having a bloody revolution every time something I don't like happens

2018-12-12 00:04:41 UTC  

*CRACKS KNUCKLES*

boi...
