We need direct democracy
Is the US in a way, a direct democracy?
Not at all. It's a Representative Democracy - a "democracy" in which people vote for their rulers.
In Direct Democracy the rulers are the people.
Ah :)
:>
@Ater Votum Could you justify direct democracy?
Also, you do realize that democracy is incompatible with Christianity as it allows for bums and immoral people to allow and advocate morality. Which is particularly forbidden thru out the bible
@Sentient23 it makes the decisions that will satisfy the most people
So what?
thats all the justification you need
Why should the will of the most people be satisfied
This entails relatviism
I hope you realize that right
Which is incompatible with Christianity
well if most peoples wills are satisfied then society works better
if people are happier and so on
the thing is by human nature you arent completely selfish
for example my teacher said what if the majority doesnt want special driveways for wheelchair people to get up stairs of public places
but its obvious an average human wouldnt want a wheelchair person to suffer
but a neutral person wouldnt think this
on the other hand people dont want for example mosques to be built in europe because they make themselves feel uncomfortable and make islam have a foothold in Europe.
and so they have the right to make this decision on a moral basis because building those mosques actually hurts the majority thats why they want to get rid of them
luckily an average human is actually smart enough to make rational decisions
an iq of 100 is pretty okay for that the thing is they need to be educated right as well
I never said im selfish dude
I never implied that selfishness was the drive between my morality
I asked why should satisfaction of the people be the drive here?
And why are you avoiding answering my concern about Christianity?
Are you a christian still or have you become an atheist?
i guess the reason people like psychopaths and such are allowed to vote is probably just practicality i mean it would probably be better to take away the right to vote of people with certain antisocial brain specialities.
well i said that society works better if more people are satisfied
Works better in what sense?
its obvious theres more happiness all around and more productiveness
well what i said people are happier which means that they are more efficient in whatever they do
I don't care about happiness of my society. Productiveness can be achieved via brainwashing and mandatory state propaganda, can it not?
i mean you can argue efficiency doesnt matter but well
I'm not arguing that. I'm arguing that those things can be achieved via a totalitarian state
well happiness is important
I disagree
