house reps were elected by the state's population, but senators were elected by state legislatures

and of course, the voting population itself was pretty different too...

it's better than what we have now

which is direct election of both

I like it

There is still PR pressure from the public. Republican establishment types support the agenda now

>have awful shitty elite
>have had that since early 20th century
>has only been a matter of how bad they are
>wants a more elitist form of government

<:really:453005408064241674>

oof

We can still b u l l y them

that's why I qualified my argument with the fact that the population was different

that would never work now, and it's good that populists are able to benefit from direct elections

Im pretty sure you get v& and shutdown if you try to bully them

populists' leveraging of direct elections is a reaction to a broken system

we're well past the point of managed, representative democracy, the way it was originally envisioned

but if we were still a serious country, I'd be more comfortable with a less directly-democratic system

of course. everything else is of secondary concern for now

besides, just like in the socialism-libertarianism debate, both direct democracy and illiberal democracy require a high level of trust that your fellow citizens/the elites aren't going to screw you over

and we all know what ruins that societal trust

>elites
>aren't going to screw you over

(((elites)))

I'm talking about people who achieve success and influence in society, not (((elites)))

but fair point

the English, for a long time, had the concept of "noblesse oblige" - basically nobility with obligations to society

i.e. your higher status means you're responsible for giving back, be it through charity, patronage, serving in the military, whatever

if I achieved success & influence in society, as a normie, I would be extremely hesitant to enter politics if I was to do anything short of further attempting to disenfranchise whites

I understand your point I dont really think itll be valid for the mainstream for a long time though

Society, culture, governance, etc have to be molded to the point where that would work well.

you're right - we're in an abnormal situation right now and will be for a while

and those who we trusted to steward society have failed horribly or are actively working against us

so now it's us ordinary people who have to make some aggressive course corrections

with the usual caveats - peacefully, lawfully, in Minecraft, etc. <:4dchess:439923932062154782>

Who's ready to DEFEND THE ROCKIES!

Stupid amounts of pumped up for this

@Nemets Leadership has already begun disbursing funds to some travelers. The more donations we receive, the more of our top folks we can send.

Reach out to Wayne and Matthias if you would like to make specific arrangements for someone.

@Sam Anderson so my permission to talk in the media page was taken from me. But regardless, although we are have our opinions on Gavin Mcinnes flaws and shortcomings. He's prevented a ton of smearing by journalists and effectively tied their hands using a lawyer and threatening them with defamation lawsuits

I remember one particular article calling them white supremists he targeted and they resorted to changing it to "ultra-nationalist"

@Sacramento Only mods and coords can post in <#359019439116648458> now. 😕

Rip

The fact that politics is infecting science to this degree is pretty terrifying tbh.
