Most people just conform to groupthink. But not people in my group. We all think the same way because we're right!

He'll be bankrupt within 5 years, but honestly it's getting to the point where I see him jailed before that.

Didn't he go bald at like 20 years?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

I bet it was high status male pattern baldness.

Well, he's not male enough to be secure in his masculinity to represent them.

Lets give it a try. Once a year, the people will vote who continues in the ruling elite and who of them goes to the guilliotine.

So what he's saying is, he should have no political power?

Ironically, the person who wrote the 4chan post didn't stop to think "is this true?".

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I dont understand the logic of this. Even if everything in that post was true and ignoring personal experience, how are neurodivergent people immune to propaganda? Why would people with dyslexia not be scared if they dont have the popular opinion if people without dyslexia would be scared? Do they think that "anxiety disorder" means that people with it are fearless?

Also, a large part of humans are aneurotypical so its not elon musks worst idea of how a country should be ran

what an insecure dumb little shit-stain on a worn out shoe with holes in it

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

Of course he does. He'd then proceed to try to buy his way in as Supreme Leader For Life. Everyday this guy finds a way to become a shittier jackass.

Is he illiterate? Did he ever open dictionary? If he did, he would have found that republic means representative democracy.

He needs his illiteracy liquidated. Sadly, likbez ended about 100 years ago.

Representative yes, but it doesn't say WHO can be the representatives. You can entirely design a system where only rich men could be representatives.

In fact, the wikipedia article says:

In many historical republics, representation has been based on personal status and the role of elections has been limited

What I guess he means is there's a leader (dictator), and there are other people in power besides him, so it's not a dictatorship. Or the Hungarian-style "fake democracy" where the opposition only exists to try to convince the EU we're not a de-facto dictatorship, Viktor Orbán is just so beloved by everyone.

Nevermind how the Senate is already there to balance "unfettered democracy" and is awful at it.

Like seriously, if we wanted the senate to be the voice of the small to hold up public worst instinct, we'd add seats from territories, indigenous nations, and labor unions, and give it a veto on what the house passes instead of making it pass stuff itself.

Also upping the number of senators per delegation to a multiple of three because FUCKING SERIOUSLY WHY ONLY TWO‽

I would imagine there are whole teams of Sociologists tracking his and JKR's tweets at the moment to plot the Brownian motion movement from rich idiot to full fascist.
