Is there a newsletter but it's just about what evil person has died for that day? I feel like there's a good market for that.

Guy literally has cancer. It's friggin elder abuse what they did.

Liberals: I can fix that voter, I just need to find the right logic combo in my persuasion.

Also Liberals: if voters were rational they would vote for the lesser evil.

Keep lecturing people, I am sure it will work this time around.

Or it could be that the Democrats are so unpopular that a billion dollars can't win them an election. No, you're right, it's because of Russia the Democrats failed to communicate their platform effectively.

Say the same to yourself bud. How many more people need to die before you realize the system is the problem, not the people voting. Because it seems y'all only care when it's Americans that die.

They write the rules and we use it as an excuse to not escalate.

Clinton was notorious for polling people and changing positions, but that was not by referendum. Sometimes our pundits play loose with words and pretend polling is a referendum because we don't actually have referendums. See also "democratizing" when it just means "commodotizing"

Indeed. Democracy does not exclude anarchy and in the case of the UN it's a voluntary union, each member is free to not participate and ignore the decisions made by rest of the union. People often criticize the UN as having little authority - that's because it's anarchistic in nature.

If there is a point to my example it is that society is a patchwork of ideologies, there is no "pure capitalist" society just as there is no "pure anarchistic" society. So to say one ideology does not work as totalitarian society is different then saying it does not work at all.

I mean we have the UN which doesn't have any one nation in charge. Geopolitics tends to be anarchistic.

What I find interesting is how we abstract away the actual work needed to keep either scenario running reflects how billionaires justify their own extremes. The heat death being a most extreme example as there is no "spare" energy for other organism to be conscious. The uploaded consciousness is detached from reality, living in a dieing universe, and still insists it has a right to exist at the cost of new venues of consciousness.

We can probably simulate a snail but me killing that wouldn't make my wife scream at me for killing a snail.

As one does when they lack a spine
