God doesn't real, but everyone should be equal under the law.

Democracy is shit.

i like how people say "MLK Jr was a commie" like that means his qoutes on racial equality aren't valid

ikr.

and people get mad when i say that both sides of political extremes should be purged

You can be brilliant in one area and ignorant in another. Chomsky for instance did foundational work in linquistics before he decided to make his career being an imbecile on politics.

Kek.

Indeed.

because hey

Racial equality is communist i guess

No one is equal. Not even to themselves at different times in the same day.

we are all equal

God made us Equal

I've read and loved everything Dawkins wrote on evolution. He writes about atheism like an angsty teen though.

Then he did a very lousy job of it.

@Miniature Menace well, whats the preferable alternative to Democracy

keep it short and simple

Not being a lazy idealist, who assumes that pieces of paper have magic powers.

That's not an alternative, Menace. That's a statement of opinion.

It is an alternative.

Then explain how it's a system.

you said "democracy is shit" i asked for a preferable alternative to Democracy

Basically, stop falling for the scam. You can't rely on others to advocate sincerely on your behalf when they have very good reasons not to. You can't neglect self-advocacy.

"I have an idea! How about not having ideas!"

Sounds like you're advocating for direct democracy, as opposed to representative democracy.

tbh in 2019 all we got are Conspiracy theories and a sense of impending doom

Systems rely on interested parties with a priority in making them function properly. It doesn't matter so much what that system is, so much as whether the people are sufficiently invested, and capable, and what it is they value most.

So yeah, you're dodging the question.

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODGE!!!

If a people don't put the priority of safeguarding their institutions from corruption above their own convenience and comfort, then their institutions may be corrupt for as long as they can provide sufficient comfort and convenience.

You're asking the wrong question. The solution isn't to build a new system, so much as to cultivate a new folk.

Further and further you stray from the question put to you.

"above their own convenience and comfort" Something that will never happen.

"If democracy is shit, what's the alternative?"

Don't even bother entertaining that thought.

It's a waste of time.

There are lots of alternatives. All of them can also be shit depending on the kind of people you have. But democracy in particular is often championed as if it's some kind of exception to this. It's not.

"cultivate a new folk." You do realize that's what Kant and Hagel were trying to do, right? Didn't really work out too well.

TBH, @Miniature Menace, it sounds like you're an authoritarian collectivist. At least, that's the impression I get from your mealy-mouthed argumentation.
