That's what the local feed is for.
I'm constantly surprised by people who don't seem to understand what ALL means.

I think your questions are more complicated than you realize.

Are Autocracies more powerful than Democracies?

If you separate the form of government from the governing, yes autocracy is a superior form of government. A dictator can instantly marshal resources to face any threat, or completely shift an entire nation, if a direction becomes clearly wrong. The reason they don't work, is because the leader is always human. Humans make shit leaders, almost always. So distribution of power across a large number of people mitigates the risks of putting it all in one.

Are all democracies are doomed to fail?

Yes. Obviously. Everything eventually fails. The Sun will fail and take the earth with it.

Is the future of humanity, autocracy? For the rest of humanity's existence?

No. Obviously. Everything eventually fails. The Sun will fail and take the earth with it. I would hope humanity (or whatever species humanity evolves to) lives past that.

They aren't mutually exclusive options.
Nothing is stopping some big corp from spinning up their own Fediverse service.
See Gmail as an example.

Not at all! They're amazing!
I enjoy the hell out of every frame of those movies.

How does it feel like DOOM if you're using WASD instead of the arrow keys?

Plot and story are overrated.
If that's what really made a movie, a synopsis would be just as good. And way cheaper to make.

As far as I know there's none.
I'm pretty sure Brother is the last hold out against the dark side.

I just call it a "Pull Cart".
Or "Cart" for short.

It's a pattern.
I know it seems strange from the anti-cancel-culture contingent of society, but it's a real thing.

People keep saying this kind of thing, without understanding there are only a couple dozen stories. Literally, every good story is a version of something else. Maybe at best, a mash up of a couple.

Edit: here is a decent page that covers them all.

People would pay a dozen times if it was good enough
