Trump should be doing more about pulling America out of unnecessary wars

2019-06-24 23:05:26 UTC  

Unfortunately elections are nearly ineffective nowadays

2019-06-24 23:07:17 UTC  

It's been proven that authoritarianism, when the leader is good, is superior to democracy.

2019-06-24 23:08:03 UTC  

Ssnp is better than Ba’ath

2019-06-24 23:08:04 UTC  

🤔

2019-06-24 23:08:13 UTC  

Depends upon the idea of “good”

2019-06-24 23:08:25 UTC  

Also Ba’ath only applies to Arabs not Persians

2019-06-24 23:08:49 UTC  

Iran should stop interfering in Arab affairs

2019-06-24 23:09:54 UTC  

@Squid Pro Quo if they bring a net positive change to the nation I'd consider them good

2019-06-24 23:10:45 UTC  

Example: Huey Long

2019-06-24 23:12:01 UTC  

Dunno enough about him

2019-06-24 23:12:07 UTC  

But like

2019-06-24 23:12:10 UTC  

As a system

2019-06-24 23:12:25 UTC  

Putting anyone in a position of absolute power has a massive chance to backfire

2019-06-24 23:12:35 UTC  

Plus it takes individual liberty away from pretty much everyone

2019-06-24 23:12:49 UTC  

Democracy ain’t great,but it’s marginally better I think

2019-06-24 23:14:27 UTC  

Yes, but that's assuming any idiot can come to power. Even in Monarchism, bad leaders were infrequent relative to their nation's history.

2019-06-24 23:14:32 UTC  

Unless you're like

2019-06-24 23:14:34 UTC  

Russia

2019-06-24 23:15:06 UTC  

The only "good" leaders the Russian Empire had were Peter I and Alexander III

2019-06-24 23:15:23 UTC  

Dunno enough about it tbh

2019-06-24 23:15:41 UTC  

My knowledge of Russia begins with Nicholas the second

2019-06-24 23:16:05 UTC  

But still

2019-06-24 23:16:18 UTC  

Dictatorships are inherently unethical

2019-06-24 23:16:20 UTC  

Oh and I guess Alexander II

2019-06-24 23:16:41 UTC  

@Squid Pro Quo it’s not the power aspect that’s bad it’s the fact that its hereditary, all of Rome’s best leaders except for one where chosen albeit not through democratic vote

2019-06-24 23:17:06 UTC  

Having absolute power is usually bad yes

2019-06-24 23:17:18 UTC  

My general idea of a good Autocracy would be

2019-06-24 23:18:17 UTC  

A central leader who would server until their resignation or death, but with a senate or something to ensure Constitutional rights are protected

2019-06-24 23:19:09 UTC  

That sounds good functionally speaking

2019-06-24 23:19:22 UTC  

But again,ethically I don’t think it would stand

2019-06-24 23:19:51 UTC  

Not arguing from effectiveness exclusively here

2019-06-24 23:20:14 UTC  

I mean,eugenics is technically effective but it’s unethical as fuck

2019-06-24 23:20:35 UTC  

Yeah obviously

2019-06-24 23:20:42 UTC  

Lol

2019-06-24 23:21:26 UTC  

I’m perplexed by that and your profile roles

2019-06-24 23:21:30 UTC  

But you do you I guess

2019-06-24 23:24:01 UTC  

Why?

2019-06-24 23:24:14 UTC  

Eugenics was mostly a National Socialist thing

2019-06-24 23:24:48 UTC  

Ah

2019-06-24 23:25:05 UTC  

Well,fascism and nazism sorta blend together in my experience
