it's a manifesto promise and would disenfranchise a whole sector of their voter base

That's already happening. Best they can do it not lose as many votes rather than implode completely and be irrelevant for another 14 years.

Yes. Not being able to play video games will finally be the last straw for White Nationalists to rise up.

Nvidia probably doesn't care much anyways. The vast volume of their sales probably goes to big brother big tech data mining warehouses with AI working around the clock to imitate voters, manipulate public opinion, build dossiers on every citizen, etc.

What a stupid idea. If anything, voting age should be at least 21.

Or make it a matter of responsibility: get the ability to vote when you own land and/or have children. You know, when you are invested in the future.

Or get the ability to vote when you are tax positive, perhaps gaining it permanently after 20 years or so of being tax positive.

What you absolutely shouldn't do is let young useless idiots vote IMO.

All of those are easily subverted or controlled to prevent legitimate responsibility that benefits the people.

get the ability to vote when you own land

Say goodbye to private land ownership when either the government or banks decide you don't own anything or suddenly have no money for reasons.

and/or have children

"Anyone" can have children, often far more than they can afford or look after. This would never work as a measurement of responsibility.

Or get the ability to vote when you are tax positive

See again the point about the government and banks deciding what taxes you owe, how you pay them, and if you ever manage to approach a tax positive status while others are simply given resources for free over you.

What you absolutely shouldn't do is let young useless idiots vote IMO

when you are invested in the future.

Instead many Western countries currently have old useless idiots voting and deciding things primarily focused around their own interests/future at the cost of the younger generations who will be paying for it now and decades to come as costs continually rise.

There is no simple way to fix thing simply by drawing arbitrary lines along age, tax status, ownership, or family status. Especially since many existing problems still occur when none of those topics relate to younger groups and instead come from the older ones who keep going and making things worse for others while living in gated communities detached from reality.

We have far too many problems to return land ownership to being part of the deal.

Many towns are almost entirely owned by either rich out of state boomers, corporations, or overseas Chinese/Indian/whatever groups. To the point where alternatives are basically non existent if you didn't buy it decades ago (and they likely muscled most of those guys out too), and they can afford to just price raise out any undesirables (or flood it with Section 8s to milk government funding). Almost all of these groups would be Left voting, even if their tenants are entirely Right wing.

Not to mention if we make it a thing, that gives them more motivation than just money to abuse that. Soros alone can afford to buy out half of multiple red states just to remove their votes from mattering, and that's just one of the many NWO Lefties trying to control us. Suddenly it'll be in their best interest to disenfranchise every Red state through sheer money power, not only removing our ability to vote for ourselves but then also outright killing us via real estate exploitation (price out the dirty whites, flood the area with pet immigrants).

It was a great idea when there was nearly infinite land ready for the settling and taking, and it was a mark of a strong man to do so. But now its absolutely going to be used against us unless we solve a lot of other problems first.

Strictly enforce residency requirement

If they merely own property, but do not actually live there, then they are not resident land owning voters with stakes in the policies of that land and community

The current system has worked to the benefit of democrats. To simply have nomadic voters, illegal aliens counted in the census, those illegal aliens utilized therefore to assign extra representatives to democrat districts,

My proposal eliminates all welfare housing, section 8 ghetto, apartment rental squatting, condo leasing democrats from being counted as voters.

If they merely own property, but do not actually live there, then they are not resident land owning voters with stakes in the policies of that land and community

They are still taking up land and property that can no longer be accessed by the populace. They are increasing their voting power by literally removing large swaths of their opposition from voting period. Again, an easy move for billionaires or foreign influence to swing entire Red states Blue by buying out entire Red towns with their infinite money and connections. They wouldn't even need the nodamic or illegals anymore, they could just make their own vote count for more by removing millions through sheer power of money.

They could literally turn a town into a fiefdom by selling a single house to a stooge of their choosing to be the only voting capable individual in the local elections. Repeat it across dozens and control counties and even up to entire States.

Your proposal removes one problem and opens another one if we do not solve the issues with our current housing problems beforehand. Its jumping in without consideration of the consequences. We could simply remove the illegals and make government assistance a disqualifier for voting and accomplish much the same without the side effect of disenfranchising just as much of our own side.

I've always said that voting is an earned right -- you're on the right track that it should be those only invested in the future, and Heinlein was right that service should guarantee citizenship.

So the rubric should be: married men who served.

That's why I said it was a great idea once, and might have been still if we never went away from it, but at the current juncture its only going to make things worse with little truly gained.

We can't look at any problem in a vacuum, all of them need to be dismantled and dealt with in the correct order to truly start to fix things.

I'm Latin and have never been to the USA.

But back to the subject, I think that representative democracy as it was seen in the 20th century has run its course. I don't see why political voting should be considered a natural human inalienable right.

Instead it should be tied to responsibility, somehow. Starship Troopers' Heinlein did have a point, even though he tied his idea too much with military service and land owning.

Huh? But other races ARE inferior

This isn't a hateful opinion. It's just fact.

How would you measure the superiority of a civilization? If you utilized objective measures, you would objectively arrive to the conclusion that White civilization is indeed superior. The migration patterns alone PROVE which nation people WANT to come to for its superiority.

Also, we are talking about the leadership and governance in a WHITE nation. You seem like the racist by suggesting that Whites are not by default privileged to lead THEIR OWN NATION!!!!

Would you ban black men for discussing the BLACK leadership they want for Nigeria? Would you ban chinese men for discussing the racially chinese men they want to lead China?

Stop acting like a redditor (emotionally fragile politically incorrect cowardice). Also, how you respond to this might prove to others whether or not we choose to continue to allow you to moderate this forum.

What color is shit? Brown. What color are some people's skin? brown. Your feelings hurt? Do you ban people for joking about White people's skin? Do you ban people or lecture them for calling Whites "red necks" ? Do you demand lawsuits against sunscreen companies who target Whites and their products cause skin cancer? If that hurts your feelings then you don't have the temperament to even have public discourse in most parts of America.

How would we KNOW for a FACT if some races are innately morally inferior?

It's insulting for you to suggest that every single race is equally moral. That's certainly not a CHRISTIAN belief. Why are you offending Christians? God clearly curses and blesses tribes, races, nations according to the Bible.

Also, Why do you believe racism to be a sin? What's wrong with racism? Everyone is racist. Even fools.

Only White people in western nations are brainwashed to believe racism is bad. Every other race of people are definitely racist in their own nations. They do not see it as moral or necessity to allow ALIEN races of people to come into THEIR HOMOGENEOUSLY ETHNIC nations and take over positions of power.

So it is racist of you, towards Whites, to expect Whites to behave by a higher set of standards than you hold every other race to.

Why aren't people like you demanding that Africa allow non-Africans to take positions of power in their nations? If Obama being the first black president in the USA is cause for you to cheer, why do you not pressure Black African nations to elect their first WHITE president?

Why do you not pressure and lecture China why they need to elect negroes or Whites to lead China?

It's only WHite nations in which you demand Whites to step down from positions of power inside their own nations. That's very RACIST of YOU!!!!! And I don't think we as a community should tolerate a racist moderator like you since racism is so bad now according to you. We certainly should not accept your hypocrisy.

u/C and u/ClockworkFool i respectfully ask you to relieve DomitiusOfMassilia of his moderator privileges. He takes far too much personal offense to White people discussing White leadership in White nations. Only a racist would demand Whites coddle and grovel to alien races to lead them.

Give it time and advanced enough toilets can scan your bowel contents in real time to inform somewhere what you've been eating and where it might have come from, so indeed actually doxing your recent movements to supermarkets, restaurants, or whatever.

This seems trivial until lockdown type situations start controlling where people are allowed to travel to, what they can eat [like how much meat people will be "allowed" to have], and maybe even just how much water they are permitted for flushing.

Any resource can be controlled and a lot of governments and other groups are champing at the bit to tighten what grasps they think they can exert on people just for the sake of more control and more money from the serviles.

That lack of 100% accuracy is the sort of thing that often gets left out of various soundbites when someone is trying to placate angry crowds about how much a new thing is good for them. Then it all starts going wrong, people get flagged for the wrong things, lose access to services, all because the brand new and shiny quality of life invention was in fact coded by jeets completely shit.

Inland Revenue must be looking forward to all the complaints about to be put forward to everyone who paid tax on their graphics cards, phones and internet access and can't access them due to their tax not being audited for age verification.
