Same with pets. I see someone's pet is loose, I do my best to return it to them. And frequently have to do so.
I don't mind helping someone elses' property out if it wasn't necessarily their fault, you know?
I lend tools when hurricanes come through so people can cut the trees and branches and move them, and repair structures etc. ButI expect it to be returned, and it always is.
I feel like this is why europeans also stick with a parliamentary system.
It assumes that there are multiple special interest groups that have a right to be heard by their own party, instead of treating the entire nation or geographic area as a single group
Well they do have that issue, but I dunno if it stems from the style of government or vice versa
No no, I'm saying they both stem from the same mindset
Viewing society as an intersection of groups
I think their societies developed to adapt to the government, self-fulfilling expected issues.
Hm
Well to be fair that is also how republics work
Not exactly
Almost inverted
You have separated groups of power.
Which is a good thing I think
Right, but they're based on geographic area
Imagine if the Va shit was on the national level
These are based on social groups, like Liberals, Conservatives, Greens, Socialists, etc
Almost like syndicalism
Same philosophical kernal
I just like it when people stop actively trying to rip apart the most successful system we've actually gotten to work and not immediately collapse, in human history.
Thats why I like confederacies. It takes what we've done to the next level.
The opposite of what Europe does
those maps of how people vote by race have even very eye opening
i hate to say it, but it shows me that minorities are leeches
@AlanPowell very good meme
I don't know. As much as you can, validly, complain about the centralized function of the Fed, it also has saved our asses on major shit before.
@AlanPowell what about da chinks and the its?
Alan you're walking on a slippery slope man.
idk, maybe.
I feel like we need MANY more people in our legislative bodies.
It should be near impossible to come to an agreement on most things, unless it really is that important
But we have demonstrated that even when they think the world is ending, they still cannot agree.
they still tend to vote democrat for some reason iirc, but they are a small portion of the population @galesteppes
If you're able to easily get a unanimous vote on something, you have too few people
@AlanPowell because they're naturally collectivist
Or you have people that live largely the same way, thus share most philosophies and worldviews.
that could be it
I refuse to agree to that until we have proof
although, it's easier to teach a collectivist to be an individualist than it is trying to teach monkies(niggers) how to behave

I disagree, look how many who educate themselves get rich.
They just distance the culture from themselves and viola
I have many black friends.
They all have one thing in common though: They act white.
