good things are actually bad every four years, I prefer perfect, the enemy of good

They will make him one no matter what, deciding not to carry out justice out of fear of an angry and uninformed mob just puts decision making entirely in the hands of that mob.

Holy shit you must be 13 if you think RvB is from the 90s.

Woah, a poster from a parallel universe, how cool! Where did our timelines diverge?

Don’t worry, GOP, there will be tons of foreign money pouring in to support the would-be dictator.

Right I forgot he was in charge of the supreme court lol

My bet is on the latter 2 at the same time

How fucking stupid do you have to be to manage to both sides this lol

Like 12 idiots on the Internet who then decided to never shut the fuck up about it.

Agreed. Capital, states, etc all have issues in the same way. I just think the state can work for the people and I’m not convinced of the alternative. Both libertarians and anarchosyndicalists have some wild basically religious ideas about how everyone will basically just work together and not dick each other over because of… Social norms, I guess? I just have a hard time believing it.

It is, a lot of people just have pseudo mystical beliefs about how people will act when there is no state. They like to imagine everything bad about humans is capitalism/the state/insert Boogeyman, not that the state and laws exist because we tried the alternative and no system at all always does work out to might makes right. A warlord always moves in to fill the power vacuum.

Some people are bastards and any system you create has to be created with the explicit assumptions that people are bastards. Some people just want to believe no one is a bastard or that there are not enough bastards to hurt the reasonable people. I think those people are wildly optimistic, and removing power structures does not remove the temptation to exert power or the ability, only one specific means.

Yes, all politicians are exactly the same and you are such a special snowflake for seeing through the illusion, you very smart heckin valid person.

Nah, there needs to be a federal law to prevent exactly this sort of idiocy.

If you think science fiction is laser fights in space, this opinion makes sense. If you like characters and setting, it’s probably some of the best sci fi on TV.

Are you okay with being the one in perpetual darkness for all working and living hours while someone on the other side of the world gets to live “normally”?

He didn’t say it was the case for most of the world

It’s cheating and the fact that you are asking shows you know it is.
