thats exactly why i said its a risky bag

imagine whamen

its a good point though

not necessarily evil by default

imagine whamen communists <:hypersmugon:544638648721604608>

its just you're significantly fucking screwed if a shitstain gets into office

**imagine dragons** <:powerful:595334910764515338>

meanwhile in representative democracy

you are far less likely to get screwed

id rather agree to the rules where no one in a game can just declare themselves the winner, even if it means half the time the guy i side with wins

conservatism is progressivism driving the speed limit

America isn’t perfect, but our system at least makes authoritarian takeover a slow burn, usually slow enough for the authoritarians to get voted out.

again, necessary evils

children dont understand this

they werent punished as children because their dads were cucks

*if they had dads*

At least you guys have birthdays

and the removal of bullying and physical punishment in schools also influences thisa

if you dont get punished beyond "grounding"

Ehh...

why care?

@a.pod2994 were you born in a tube

are you lebensraum 2.0?

@Boop / 브파 / C'thUwU - Pretty sure kids weren't punished by their dads because their dad wasn't around.

@Spooky Melon - Never seeing your dad doesn't mean you don't have one. He's just a degenerate loser who won't raise his own kids.

with my lefty deranged friend, his dad was abusive and an alcoholic and divorced before his teens. my dad died before my teens and was never abusive.

i have respect for punishment and authority

my friend does not

i dont think thats a coincidence tbh

@Arthur Grayborn its the "no fathers in the household makes a worse kid" thing im going with here

did you have a stepparent, perhaps?

or another "father figure"

nop

a coach, a pastor, 2 moms, etc?

not that i can think of

Fathers are an authority figure. Lack of father=lack of authority, which leads to the child seeking authority in the system. Which eventually leads to a socialist soy child

was your mother a strong authority figure, or was she loosey goosey?

loosey

you don't necessarily seek authority unless you yourself are being endangered by forces outside of your control

hm. maybe you just werent a shit kid 🤷
