So unless you plan on overthrowing them, enjoy your shitty leader.

2019-07-21 01:01:28 UTC  

Have a replacement mechanism. Like some states have recall elections for governor

2019-07-21 01:01:51 UTC  

Though not necessarily an election

2019-07-21 01:02:26 UTC  

Then its not a monarchy

2019-07-21 01:02:53 UTC  

So...we can still use the title king if we want. It sounds fancy

2019-07-21 01:03:07 UTC  

Or CEO if you prefer

2019-07-21 01:03:42 UTC  

The Silicon Valley Apple Authority would probably stick with CEO

2019-07-21 01:03:58 UTC  

At that point you might as well just let the people decide whose the best person for the job.

2019-07-21 01:04:16 UTC  

A large majority of people are retarded, so I don't know how I feel about that.

2019-07-21 01:04:22 UTC  

Why? The people are idiots. At least lots of then are

2019-07-21 01:04:56 UTC  

And some, I assume, are good people 😎

2019-07-21 01:06:20 UTC  

Obviously we can't just continue as we are right? The US will inevitably either collapse or change

2019-07-21 01:07:00 UTC  

Well your suggesting an ideal even more archaic and had its time to shine than the current one.

2019-07-21 01:07:05 UTC  

Should we just wait for it? Should we wait but plan for it?

2019-07-21 01:07:31 UTC  

Corporations are still around

2019-07-21 01:07:40 UTC  

Whats archaic about them?

2019-07-21 01:07:46 UTC  

Appletopia

2019-07-21 01:08:22 UTC  

I personally hate apple but its gotta be better than the current Sam Francisco

2019-07-21 01:08:31 UTC  

San*

2019-07-21 01:09:17 UTC  

A ceo is appointed by people who are elected by a board of directors.

2019-07-21 01:09:27 UTC  

Who are in turn elected by shareholders.

2019-07-21 01:09:43 UTC  

Ok

2019-07-21 01:09:48 UTC  

And

2019-07-21 01:10:03 UTC  

So only shareholders can vote

2019-07-21 01:10:19 UTC  

And once they do the ceo they choose gets to make all decisions

2019-07-21 01:10:24 UTC  

Only people putting money into the system can vote yes.

2019-07-21 01:10:59 UTC  

No because we give everyone the damn vote

2019-07-21 01:11:10 UTC  

Regardless of their tax status

2019-07-21 01:11:32 UTC  

@tomhastherage have you been reading the Neoreactionaries?

2019-07-21 01:11:51 UTC  

In theory yes

2019-07-21 01:11:58 UTC  

Sadly not in reality

2019-07-21 01:12:07 UTC  

I like how Bernie wants prisoners to vote.

2019-07-21 01:12:28 UTC  

But that doesn’t change the fact that its still a democracy and not an autocracy.

2019-07-21 01:12:56 UTC  

@Nucleon one could use the argument that feudalism and monarchy lasted far longer than democratic republicanism has so far and have therefore demonatrated their superiority. Saying it's a more archaic system doesn't say it's without merit.

2019-07-21 01:13:42 UTC  

And by extent I point to the fact that those systems eventually evolved into democracies, by force or not.

2019-07-21 01:13:56 UTC  

Evolved into?

2019-07-21 01:14:03 UTC  

Hahaha

2019-07-21 01:15:03 UTC  

We don’t have many monarchs today. Britain was a great example of a state that morphed into a democratic one over time.

2019-07-21 01:15:06 UTC  

any group of people can become a democracy by violently subjugating their opponents

2019-07-21 01:16:03 UTC  

technically the UK is still a constitutional monarchy
