@lain This is the kind of adolescent thinking that says "the two party system is oppression forced on us by murky scapegoats!"The human brain is a difference engine. It wants to have a clear choice between two options. When more than two options exist, people naturally whittle the field down to two. When there are no clear differences, our minds start to pick things apart or look for ANY differences by which our choice will seem like it was clear from the start.That is natural and normal, and no matter how one might choose to artificially create a different situation, masses of people will behave in a way where it boils down to a choice between two options.More to the point of the stupid statement, human minds focus on the negative by default. This is a function of your survival instinct. Again, it is natural that you would focus on what you don't like about two options over what you like. Anything else is childish fantasy.

@insurgentem i guess that's why there are only 2 different types of cars, 2 different restaurants, 2 different drinks, 2 different books, and so on

@lain To make sure all candidates are good, we will only allow one good political party to exist, the Good Party, so all the president candidates have to come from the Good Party, making sure they are all goodWe came up with a better democracy, we did it Reddit

@lain That's exactly what I said, right? Hey, in the American "two party system" there are only two parties. Right? 🙄I said that regardless of the number of choices, your brain will try to boil any choice down to a decision between two options.And that you will tend to focus on the negatives (which option is less desirable) over the positives.

@lain democracy is when two parties but one is completely ideologically identical to what the other one was a decade ago but with way more annoying rhetoric and the other one is just cia agents, 8chan users, and a hooting man playing a banjo (some are all three)

@insurgentem If we regulated the abusive chokehold the DNC and RNC have on the media and the system I can guarantee you those two choices wouldn't come down to them as often. Britain has the right idea with banning political adverts. They need to be forced to play fair.@lain also implying democracy is a bad thing is creepy as fuck.

@SleepyAdam @lain I'll agree to disagree. Government rules to limit speech seems like the opposite solution to the problem of government rules to limit freedoms like speech.

@thendrix @lain @SleepyAdam From my perspective, whatever your position on what was or wasn't constitutional, the theft of a presidential election was the last vestiges swept away.

@insurgentem @lain @SleepyAdam When everyone was like "well, there was a lot of little cheating -- but didn't add up to anything" when you had systemic failures like locking out observers and not matching names/addresses to ballots... it can never be accepted from that point. That's not even getting into cases of people seen throwing ballots in dumpsters and ballot harvesting proven via phone tracking and security cameras... Then Time did a "yeah we did it" write up praising all the dark money and deals that made it happen. 🤷 Ironically for helping tilt an election facebook et al are now going to get reamed, so they can't do it again. Zuckerborg couldn't see that part coming and was happy to be the public face of the front money targeting the specific cites for the great flip.

@thendrix @lain @SleepyAdam I didn't even need all that. Dude, in my 48 years they've never stopped a count. As a child I was impressed that "they always count until its done", and sometimes that meant counting until 5 am the next day. Sometimes a state wouldn't call it till then, and that's like serious shit.5 states stopped counting at 9 pm, Central. I watched it happening.I stood up and said, "It's happening. They're taking the country."So long as 5 shit hole states can steel a presidential election, the federal government is illegitimate. There's no point voting at the national level for anything.It's all about being in a Free State and keeping it free.

@DA70D6 @lain @SleepyAdam By that measure, everything is a psyop, and if everything is a psyop then nothing is. Logical fallacy is no way to think your way through life.I don't care what the message is. You have a right to speak it. You don't have the right to force me into anything. But until you try, I don't care what you say.

@insurgentem @lain @SleepyAdam You should vote now as the rubber boot goes on the other foot this time. They want the pressure release valve, but if played right can get some actual wrenches to the machine in office.At the very least we need to remove overt communists and lockdown enjoyers from power quickly.

@thendrix @lain @SleepyAdam If by "remove" you mean vote for some useless Republican at the national level, then I'm not participating. If that means some commie gets it, well, better the commie. I know what commies are going to do. They're reliably stupid. I'm not sure what a RINO will do.I know for a fact that the political parties do deep dives on ballots. If you vote on every other issue, but you leave certain races blank, they analyze that to figure out how you were motivated.They can see that I'm voting at the state level and on down, but they an fuck all at the national level in any race.Honestly, I want more communists with their hands on federal power. I want them to push hard for a violent put down of all of us.Let's just knock this thing out.

@SleepyAdam @insurgentem @lain sorry ranting; just point is that long-term stability requires long-term planning, meaning centralised oversight that actively intrudes. from the viewpoint of single liver cell, plodding immune system that barges in and kills its friends is wasteful intrusion getting in the way of growth. but take it away and suddenly you have cancer. or everyone ignores cultural history and builds houses and things right next to the coast because profit boost, and then one day it's 3.11 and all that work and those lives are destroyed.a humanity of autonomous individuals without governments could maybe survive, but it could never reach complexity, stability, and comfort. and we aren't such a humanity to begin with, so in practice erasing government means growing a new one

@lain The best kind of government is the government that works. If society were run by a benevolent dictator that always made good decisions most people wouldn't care. People just need good leaders who make good choices.
