They should be redundant, unimportant and replaceable, but sometimes they get nepotistic-monopolistic and jump over their heads

Ideally, yes

But it's within Patreon's right as a business to make stupid as fuck decisions and alienate their customers

Same with all the other middlemen

Oh I don't dispute that

Is it in USPS's rights to keep packages?

But Stripe and Paypal attacking alternatives crosses the line

Well USPS is different because that's the government

UPS I mean

But FedEx not wanting to deliver your dragon dildos is within their rights

I never remember which one is the brown logo

This digital guild needs to be shown their fucking place

Well FedEx choosing to not deliver something to you is different from them accepting the delivery, then keeping it. That's the difference between Patreon banning people for shit and them witholding money like they did recently with that hacker dude

Tim's recent shows for this week and past got me slowly becoming a nihilist as the world is just getting worse

ayy, welcome to the blackpilled club

Go read Democracy: The God That Failed

If it makes me a full nihilist I swear I would build a cabin in the middle of Siberia

I don't know if it's really a nihilist work

democracy is just kind of shit because the incentive structure is fucked up

And retards outnumber you like five to one so there's nothing you can do to stop the worst from happening

Democracy =mob rule

My mother always told me people who should be in power avoided being in power like the plague and that's why regards have power

democracy isn't actually mob rule, not in practice, anyway

Every government is a defacto oligarchy

Or somewhere between oligarchy and technocracy

```it's okay lol you didn't know```
I always assume the one on the other side is a man and treat him that way.
If its a Woman. Well, discrimination FTW *muhahahaha* 😄

You've got the elite/ruling class (whatever you want to call it) and they retain power through appeasement

Oligarchy is the most stable order

it just to happens in democracies that this appeasement is bribery

And it is not bad or good by itself

Yeah, but I'd assume we are in for some enormous changes in the next 100 Years.

It's what the members of said oligarchy do that matters

the Morons in Europe are forcing things to stay the same with the Link Tax and shit like that but the fall can only get harder and the people here are just not happy with the Gouvernment.

@Stefan Payne Real power never changes hands

@Stefan Payne might as well go extinct

Yeah, nobody cares about tanners or smiths these days.

in the next 50 years, nobody will care about Journalists

there will be a revolution. And you can buy 10 Big Media Companys. You can not buy 2 Million People with a phone

Yeah but how would that defeat the nationless oligarchs that run everything

Revolution is happened already it's just sipping into the normal society

tim is rocking the hitler stache
