    When you have to keep making up different situations than I described in order to discredit what I described it feels forced and petty.

    The tyranny of the majority will always be objectively better for everyone than a tyrrany of the minority.

    If you think people need to elect rulers that will eventually stab them in the back for personal gain that says something about you, not human society.

      People will elect rulers, that’s how people work. That you can’t show a single example of a leaderless, stable country is really strong evidence of that. The closest was probably Athens, and they elected a strong leader.

          I certainly can, but I’m not talking about me, I’m talking about people generally, and I don’t think the quiet majority can handle not having a master.
