ill check it out
I keep hearing how the crusaders killed all non Christians when they took Jerusalem
But didn’t the guy in charge of the city kick all the Christians out before the siege?
I have yet to see a credible alternative to representative democracy
Muh philosopher king
muh benevolent tyrant
Basically
Or plutocracy I guess
constitutional representative republic
You are arguing semantics
ehhhh
it needs to be specific
Republics are inherently democratic
You still have elections
You could argue a noble republic isnt
that is the specific term we use in the US
"representative"
> Democracy
And a lot of tinpot dictatorships like to call themself republics
Ah sedition
they would still be part of the US
They had a chance several decades ago
just breaking up the state
Unfortunately their big rally was December 8th 1941
Too bad they don't have a clause like Texas' constitution
They reserve the right to divide into up to 5 separate states IIRC
“If the right to vote were expanded to seven year olds … its policies would most definitely reflect the ‘legitimate concerns’ of children to have ‘adequate’ and ‘equal’ access to ‘free’ french fries, lemonade and videos.”
-Hans-Hermann Hoppe
What is the point you are trying to make here?
oh it was a response to the quote Kulak refered too
oh OK
Can you give a TLDW?
Democracy needs checks and balances.
Yes otherwise it would be mob rule
The Tyranny of the majority can be just as bad as the Tyranny of a Dictator
Makes sense that collectivism forms a single body to act on others as a dictator
That is why the founding fathers talked about "the Problem of Democracy"
Democracy is the best system we currenty have
No it’s gay
