And the state hasn't done anything about it.
i'm partly conflicted, as i think if a vote only affects you then you should have a say, but on society as a whole, somone a thousand miles away could influence who i'm governed by and that shit sucks
the danger of universal suffrage is underrated.
I believe the average American could be better educated but they are not dumbasses
Agreed
even if they're smart politics is a complex issue
a lot of people only care about one thing or get easily bribed with free stuff
If you have a state that state is authoritarian because it must enforce its laws in its areas
There is just less authoritarian
@DrRisen I honestly don't know.
I saw some vids about some guy asking if the US should bomb Agrabah and most people thought it was a real place.
you can various degrees of authoritarian, yeah
Thatβs fixed partially by Education and apply trust laws to political parties
@DrRisen Agrabah was the fictional setting from Aladin that sounded vaguely real.
They ask 40 people
And take the 4 dumbest
i mean, it sounds like it's in the middle east and so it probably sounded real
"Authoritarianism or Libertarianism? Why? What are the advantages and disadvantages of Authoritarianism and Libertarianism?"
Libertarianism
even with education some people get easily bribed.
there are also vast sections of society that refuse to educate or vote for somebody based on race
#bombaladdin
if i understand correctly
@DrRisen most repubs asked wanted to bomb it, and most dems thought the US should take in refugees
in other words expect cartoon refugees
Driven out one Arabian night...
I proposes we build a wall to keep the genies out
@ππππππ correct
**Syrian refugee hiding in the woods of their native Agrabah from chemical airstrikes** *(circa 2018, colorized)*
Society
Jokes on you Disneyβs deserves to suffer
They are a monopoly in the making
And they dun fucked up copyright
but also, problems i see with having only politically conscious individuals vote is ensuring that they actually are politically educated. This has its own problems of who is doing the educating, what kinds of tests are in place to make sure people are politically aware and know who made those tests and how they're educated, etc.
@Ronin how could you turn down such an innocent refugee? You can see the fear in his hideously deformed eyes!
The way I see it is that democracy and libertarianism can only work in a utopia or homogenous society where the people all work together to a common goal.
The thing is that the west isn't that.
And it makes it SUPER easy to only let people of certain opinions vote
Westnβt
@DrRisen one day the US will capture the evil mastermind known as Aladin.
βIf you donβt have this opinion your too dumb to voteβ
