  • The purer and more direct the democracy the better, our current form in the USA specifically is flawed and the only recourse is electing enough DNC to restrict those who infringe upon the rights of others: repealing citizens united decision, taxing the rich, fair redistricting, absolute immutable rights for each person such as habeus corpus, and most importantly breaking up monopolies.

    Maybe someday we can even seriously consider removing FPTP voting.

    You might notice that the one side “gaming the system” the most are extremely undemocratic: Republican presidents win by EC Vote more often than popular vote, the GOP want to restrict voting access and remove names from rolls all the time, they tried to storm the capital on Jan 6 because they lost, they are disproportionately represented by low population red states in the senate like North Dakota, and they’re promoting a literal wannabe monarch Donald Trump who has been posting AI generated memes of himself wearing a crown.

    This won’t end in bloodshed unless the villains of this story, Trump, starts the bloodshed and even then the prevailing side, the united strength of US Citizens and Immigrants, won’t tear the USA down they will repair it.

    Other nations suffer similar problems but some far far less because there are forms of Democratic government which have thrived and are simply the best form of government.





  • The US has at some point “not been a democracy” in the past, when it was colonies ruled by aristocratic oligarchs loyal to an absolute monarch. Conservative isn’t about keeping things the same as they were five years ago, it’s about keeping things the same as hundreds of years ago: no “globalism”, no racial equality, and strong ties between the state and religion which also includes the oppression of women and homosexuality.

    Tankies are seeking to maintain a similar oligarchic and absolute-ruler structure used in the past.

    Yes, they’re trained to attack humans, and they’re regularly handled roughly to ensure absolute obedience. This one doesn’t look like an attack dog judging by the light fur and vest, but it’s hard to say for sure.

    Technically, men’s sperm takes some time between three days to two weeks as it travels up from the testees to the seminal vesicles, and before that it takes something like 72 days for sperm to be made in the testees via spermatogenesis (although this process is constant regardless of number of ejaculations), meaning that while technically a man could impregnate 9 women a day, realistically a man couldn’t because after the first few their viable sperm count would drastically falter.
