How would you feel if it was the government trampling on your rights yesterday, instead of the victims being people like me?
But nobody did nothin' to me yesterday.
Could the entire support base of the regime's bullshit really rest on retards with an IQ just too low to understand oppression as a conditional hypothetical? Since "nuthin' bad happened to me yesterday" is that why they excuse all this shit? Because they literally can't understand that it could happen to them later?
Good luck with that lol. As soon as you have violent powerful governance you engage in power plays within your own camp, even if the ideology seems cohesive. Who's gonna lead this campaign? What happens when their peers disagree? You just get coup after coup
The logic that that is inevitable would preclude any group with power from ever ruling anything, which is retarded on its face.
No, you're advocating a government with less checks and balances to enable them to 'deal with' enemies of the state as they see fit.
Again, who's gonna lead it? What happens if their peers label the leader as an enemy of the state? Can you name a single authoritarian society that hasn't descended into a coup?
Considering that this would include all monarchies and chiefdoms and similar, I would have to say “the majority of governments throughout human history.”
You are playing some very nice “what if” games that fail to interact with reality as it is. Our “representative republic” has been almost entirely captured, such that it is an oligarchy with a thin veneer of freedom over it. Almost every institution that wields power—the educational, the media, the financial, the megacorporation—has become captured by this same ideology. By which means would you fix this overwhelming ideological imbalance that does not include, at minimum, a governmental equivalent firing key people across the board and instituting different people who would neither continue their predecessors abuses of power, nor—crucially—allow their own predecessors to simply resume the same evil game?
Cut government by like 90%. Remove the levers of power that these money laundering scum abuse
