The decline of democracy

[Spasoje's Revenge]

What does that have to do with anything

You need a head, someone with a plan, someone who can look at the whole picture, chose a direction and guide the ship. You need a captain on a ship, you need a general in the army, you need a king in the throne room. You can't let each limb flail mindlessly, tunnel visioned on their particular area of expertise

This doesn't happen

even though it does

You guys are so pampered and you don't even know what it's like to live outside of a democracy with no human rights. This is like the right wing version of saying they want communism without realizing how bad it really was

Communism is good too because it kills a lot of slavs.

Get a child, teach him since age 4 how to rule a country, give him a competent circle of advisors and that's how you can get someone competent enough to understand what's going on, who also has enough direct power to accomplish and commit to an agenda.

People who shit talk about the concept of kings often forget that a king would essentially be the best and brightest a country has to offer. He would always get the best education possible from childhood. It is said that Sultan Mehmed II knew and spoke 8 languages fluently. That's something today's leaders can't even dream of.

Who doesn't fit the previous criteria, retard. This is the best argument against a democracy, everyone is a fucking retard, ESPECIALLY people who think they should be voting.

Uhh learning languages doesn't mean you're smart

 

[condolana]

I think people started to realize how shit mass politics has become

No fvcking way

>doing a cognitively difficult thing... doesn't make you cognitively competent!

 

[terrycrews]

Yes it does you fucking retard

Isaac Newton was the smartest person to ever live and he spoke English only

 

[Fagon]

satoko_houjou_fan was the smartest person to ever live and he was an ESL (he speaks two languages)

he was only fluent in one language albeit

Democracy doesn't work in societies that are foolish. That do not do anything to prevent the government from profiteering off it. However i think that in 90% of the cases authoritarian nations do even worse in terms of providing a good, and stable country to live in and i'd still choose to live in a democratic nation evenTHOUGH a huge chunk of voters are always gullible retards. Life.

 

[Spasoje's Revenge]

At least with a king, you can see who's in charge. With a republic, the power lies in whoever can convince the politicians to do what they want, and those people aren't easily visible

Democracy looks even worse when you realize what it really is: Smokes and mirrors.
It's about who can get the media on his side and who appeals to the donors. You basically get non political entities controlling all of a countries given politics from the shadows and the fucking CATTLE just EAT IT UP!

children can be trilingual with no effort put in just by being born in the right place albeit

@Spasoje's Revenge thought you were against using truth nuke as a react because it's a frootcord emote or something
you betrayed your principles morro

 

[ILoveVesna]

even doe people flee authoritarian shitholes all the time

bad selfish rulers
but thats due to how money flows
unless you have die hard jihadists for your whole government system that will do it for free, subordinates need to be payed. This leads to more money being leeched from population, leading to shit QoL in general. Imagine if you had to not only share with random literal who farmers and a useless college graduate in gender studies (you do both of these already due to how most governments pass out welfare), but even more of your money goes to the paychecks of kikes

also this sounds esl and shit but im in a VEX meeting so I have no time to change it rn

 

[baqqrih]

We should start talking about democracy and alternate forms of leadership again instead of debating over which smart guy was the smartest.

>we should have the masses voting even doe this is what the average intellectual discussion of the masses looks like
