Are Autocracies more powerful than Democracies?

  • A 1 to 1 vote to citizen ratio that is the actual determining factor in decision making, the electoral college alone completely destroys any argument for the US being a democracy just by existing, and we've had that bullshit running since day one

    1. Incorrect, fixed definitions don't stay fixed forever, that doesn't mean they aren't fixed right now. Words mean things, if a word changes meaning in a generation or two or five it'll mean fuck all for you right here and now.
    2. The US is not a democracy at all and never was. It was arguably at various points in time a representative republic, not a particularly good one but that's not part of the definition.
    3. I don't care what you think, I know you're using the term loosely that's my point, fucking duh

  • Wrong

    • US-China rivalry on AI has profound implications for the rest of the world. China's strategic use of Open-Source, it is steering us all towards a future where AI's power will be more decentralized.

  • Lol k

    • Bernie Sanders draws 10,000 supporters to Warren for a ‘Fight Oligarchy’ rally.

  • Just because they're polite doesn't mean they're not wrong, and if they can't handle being told so then your talking with them isn't going to get anything done anyway

  • It's not that weird, the US has been shit for a long time and China has never been as bad as the US claimed. What feels weird to me is seeing other people acknowledging it.

  • Literally all communication depends on how you define the terms you use, that's the whole point of having fixed definitions for words, and the US absolutely does not fit any reasonable definition of a democracy

  • no u

  • Good

    • Why aren't we all getting rich from compound interest?

  • It's a statement of fact, you're just butthurt because it's a fact that completely destroys your delusional bootstraps bullshit

  • The US has never been a democracy, we've never been a particularly equitable representative republic either and our government was designed this way on purpose

    • Bernie Sanders draws 10,000 supporters to Warren for a ‘Fight Oligarchy’ rally.

  • Because none of those other people want to. The only reason they even allow Bernie to do as much as he does is to placate progressive liberals, if they didn't folks might start figuring out that reform doesn't work.

  • If Bernie fucking Sanders is too far left for you then you're definitely part of the problem

    • University crackdown on Palestine solidarity encampments a grievous violation of Charter freedoms

  • If you don't have a position on genocide then you're a bad person, maybe not as bad as people who actively support genocide but that's a fantastically low bar to clear and you should still be ashamed

    • University crackdown on Palestine solidarity encampments a grievous violation of Charter freedoms

  • Cry about it hasbara

    • German police celebrates International Women’s Day

  • Lol you're a fucking joke, try harder hasbara

    • Russian officials criticised for giving meat grinders to mothers of soldiers killed in Ukraine

  • Unkindly, no

    • Tankie confusion

  • Lol everyone who disagrees with you must be a russian and/or bot, you're definitely a liberal
