So you admit life is better under empire?

 

[rickyb]

Any day now? It’s interesting you consistently say capitalism leads to that and yet we’re moving towards socialism/ A government controlled corporatism, and it’s happening at the fastest pace I’ve ever seen.

im right the earth has warmed and things are getting worse

Socialism uses mind games and subterfuge
At least barbarianism is honest because they both have the same outcome at the end.

No not even close, you’re believing a government narrative and get you to fear and it’s working perfectly.

Well that I can agree with but that’s because a bunch of globalist left-leaning fools are running our government. And that’s both Democrat and Republican.

Wrong it’s mob rule what if the mob decide to outlaw paragliding and punk rock you can’t do anything about it because the mob decided for you there’s no liberty for you to chase happiness with. Don’t like it tough luck. That’s how appear democracy works the strong overtake the week

It’s not better but it’s what you’re advocating right now, our representative republic in United States is set up to limit the governments power and give it to the people, that is a threat to the powerful and they are trying to subverted it.

no the US govt was set up to only let propertied white men vote

it was anti democratic and set up to squash rebellions and wealth redistribution which democracies push for

as it stand you still have electoral college, voter suppression
