I would love to live in a society that is set up this way. I saw a recent study about inequality challenging the conventional wisdom that it is inevitable, here on lemmy actually. Dunno if thats one of the reasons for this post. But I certainly think its worth asking is the way we do things now the best way? Probably not, just because we do stuff the way we do now doesn't mean it must be done that way. I personally am in favor of governments where the responsibility is given to small groups of people who rotate into positions for some length of time. It would just be randomly chosen people from society at large. It's been done in the past, and it seems like a great way to keep a small group from concentrating power and misusing it. Also makes it so ordinary people are making the decisions, so less likely to make malaligned choices that are bad for the rest of society. Whether that is a flat structure, or a vertical structure is certainly up for debate.

You're making the exact same argument OP is talking about.

I live in a swing state area where bomb threats were called in on election day. This isn't b.s. at all.

That's the crazy thing. So many Republicans in congress have said they are afraid for their safety if they go against Trump. He's got the government in a vice grip. They clearly don't agree with how far he's gone, they've said as much privately, but refuse to vote against him in bills bcz Trump followers at this point are crazy.

Deported for being too woke.

Actually, it turns out, yes, past behavior is indicative of future behavior.

As the singular authority on nicknames for communities, I'll allow it.

Didn't realize the Cybertruck was selling at all. In the last three years since it went on sale, I can count on one hand the amount of Cybertrucks I've seen in person.

Surprised pikachu face

Deeply religious idiot is against anything that doesn't fit his narrow world view.

Why are you reacting so aggressively. OP is correct.

A war with our dementia patient in chief in charge would surely go over well.

 

Patrick Crusius had acknowledged he targeted Hispanics on Aug. 3, 2019, when he opened fire in the store crowded with weekend shoppers from the U.S. and Mexico in the border city of El Paso.

 

President Trump's sweeping cuts to the federal government are also threatening a key banking watchdog.

 

Don't think I need to summarize this one. This is bad news for everyone.

This is Cleo, she's kind of ornery.. But she can be a sweet cat sometimes.

 

In the final weeks before Election Day, Republican groups have filed lawsuits in the swing states of Michigan, North Carolina and Pennsylvania that challenge the validity of ballots cast by U.S. citizens living abroad, including members of the U.S. military.

I usually do 3D retro jams, like N64, but decided to do an SNES one this time. Hope to see you there!

 

I enjoy doing game jams. Usually I do a retro N64 jam. But I've also done a bad art jam, and a few halloween jams. This time I've decided to do a full 2D SNES jam. Hope to see you there!
