It’s no wonder we’re so fucked
universal suffrage was the biggest mistake but lately I've been wondering if democracy could work as a long-term system even if we went back to needing to 'earn' the right to vote like in Greece or Rome.
I don't think so, failing some sort of major social re-ordering, it'd probably just eat itself slower -
2023-11-08 at 4:16 AM UTCI dunno for some irrational reason I still like the idea of democracy even though I think everyone else besides me is an idiot. It’s a double-edged sword, we get the “wisdom of crowds”, but also “mob mentality”.
At the end of the day I’d rather live in a democratic but broken society than some authoritarian plutocracy, mainly because in the first one I can probably fly under the radar easier and just do my own thing, in the other one I would most likely be on a list and considered a problem.
If there’s some form of government that just puts me in charge I’d be fine with an autocracy. I’ll be good, I promise -

Originally posted by aldra I remember when I was kid they ran PSA ads here talking about French nuclear testing with the slogan 'OUI MEANS NO'.
it was years later that I found out Oui actually does not mean no
whoever thought it was a good idea to give the french nukes...much less SLBMs...should be perpetually impaled in a mental institution. -

2023-11-08 at 11:16 AM UTCGood. Killed the karaoke contest. Ive never sung that well before, i dont think. Acoustics and sound system were great. Was super clear n hit all my notes and runs. Ofc i was ready to fall over from all the G i took in the car, but it seemed to loosen up my throat pussy. I didnt buy a single drink for myself all night. Im so critical of myself all the time, and it felt good to have people turn to each other and mouth “holy shit” during my performances. Or buy me a couple drinks for the road as they were closing out their tab. If i win next week I get $500.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

Probably something the aliens did to your esophagus while you were unconscious.
I've seen videos online where the real reason they knock out the earthlings was to use them for sexually perverted practices they're prohibited from performing on their own planets. Fool proof rape prevention. It's not like the victim can provide testimony in court if their memory has been wiped.
The whole 'probing' thing is just a government cover up to hide the fact this planet is nothing more than a sex-tourism stop for the ETs.
So yea...you just gave birth to a hybrid extraterrestrial. Congratulations.
You better go to your proctologist for a rectal abortion before an alien chestburster makes and appearance at your next dinner date. -

Originally posted by Fox The left/right dichotomy is largely a holdover from enlightenment era France - Locke, Rousseau, Voltaire, etc - and on thru the revolutionary era then permeated thru most of western society via colonialism.
In the French National Assembly the “new age” thinkers sat on the left side of the chamber, and the supporters of the monarchy on the right
whose left and right.
