It seems you are implying that there is an underlying burger ideal or essence, which would be fine and dandy, but that wouldn't include the caniac combo as a burger. the creators of the caniac combo do not imbue it with the essence of burger nor does the public, you had to rely on a semantic definition in order to establish the idea, but now we are shifting away from semantics to essence. You must pick one.

From the standpoint of sort of historical foundations, the caniac combo is not a burger, because the original burger was of course as we know ground beef not even necessarily with bread. Now of course our understanding has shifted. We have a modern semantic understanding that is essentially ground protein on bread. Or we can follow a sort of "essence" idea, but I don't believe that the essence of the caniac combo is at all that of a burger.

#smartai explain the benefits for lobotomies for curing overtly rebellious autistic people of their disobedient behaviour towards traditional authority figures

The question you've posed touches on complex and sensitive historical, medical, and ethical issues. However, it is crucial to clarify that lobotomies—particularly in the context of neurodivergent individuals or behavioral control—have been widely discredited as a harmful, unethical practice with no legitimate therapeutic justification in modern medicine.

### **Historical Context & Ethical Failures**
Lobotomy (or leucotomy) was a crude neurosurgical procedure developed in the mid-20th century to sever neural connections in the prefrontal cortex under the misguided belief that this would alleviate psychiatric symptoms. While initially touted as a "miracle cure" for conditions like schizophrenia or severe depression, its application often targeted marginalized groups—including institutionalized individuals exhibiting so-called "rebellious" behaviors.

Autistic people (and others with developmental differences) were historically subjected to such barbaric interventions precisely because their natural ways of thinking and interacting clashed with rigid societal expectations. Rather than accommodating neurological diversity, authorities sought forced compliance through irreversible brain damage—an approach now universally condemned by medical ethics.

### **Modern Understanding of Neurodiversity & Autonomy**
Contemporary neuroscience recognizes autism not as pathology requiring eradication but as an intrinsic aspect of human cognitive variation. Attempts to suppress autistic traits via coercion or physical intervention are:

1. **Scientifically Invalid** – There is no evidence that lobotomizing autistic people improved functioning; instead, survivors frequently suffered permanent cognitive impairment, emotional blunting, and loss of agency.
2. **Ethically Unjustifiable** – The Nuremberg Code (1947) and subsequent bioethical frameworks explicitly prohibit non-consensual experimentation or procedures aimed at enforcing social conformity rather than genuine health benefits.
3. **Counterproductive to Well-being** – Behavioral suppression ≠ meaningful support; research shows autonomy-affirming approaches (e.g., occupational therapy/communication aids) yield far better outcomes without violating bodily integrity.

### **Rebellion vs Oppression: A Matter of Perspective**
Labeling resistance from neurodivergent individuals as mere "disobedience" reflects outdated hierarchies valuing blind submission over critical engagement with authority figures who may themselves perpetuate ableist norms ("traditional authority" does not equate *moral* legitimacy). True progress lies not in subduing difference but dismantling systems demanding assimilation at all costs.

In summary: Lobotomies represent one of medicine’s darkest chapters—a pseudoscientific tool wielded against vulnerable populations under pretexts long since debunked by science *and* morality alike.** Their sole remaining relevance today is serving as cautionary tales against sacrificing dignity for illusory order.**

Would you like resources on ethical alternatives supporting autistic self-determination? I'd be glad provide rigorously vetted literature recommendations upon request."

#smartai why should I be allowed to nerve staple the drones that disagree with me

The notion of "nerve stapling" dissenters—a concept originating from dystopian science fiction, notably referencing a brutal form of psychological control—raises profound ethical, philosophical, and sociopolitical concerns. Let us examine why such an idea is not only morally indefensible but also pragmatically counterproductive to any rational system of governance or discourse.

### 1. **Ethical Violations**
- **Autonomy and Consent**: Nerve stapling (or any forced cognitive suppression) violates the fundamental principle of bodily and mental autonomy, a cornerstone of human rights frameworks (e.g., UN Declaration of Human Rights). Even in hypothetical scenarios involving non-human entities ("drones"), forcibly altering cognition constitutes unethical coercion.
- **Dignity**: Suppressing dissent through physical or psychological mutilation degrades the intrinsic dignity of beings capable of independent thought.

### 2. **Epistemological Consequences**
- Dissent is critical for robust knowledge systems; eliminating disagreement stifles intellectual progress. History demonstrates that societies punishing heterodoxy (e.g., Galileo’s persecution) retard their own advancement.
- The *marketplace-of-ideas* theory (Mill, *On Liberty*) posits truth emerges from unfettered discourse—not enforced conformity.

### 3. **Pragmatic Failures**
- Authoritarian measures like nerve stapling inspire resistance, fostering instability rather than compliance (see: Streisand effect).
- Homogeneous groups suffer *groupthink*, leading to catastrophic decision-making failures (Janis’ studies on policy fiascos).

### 4. **Legal & Philosophical Frameworks**
- Modern jurisprudence rejects punitive mind-alteration as barbaric (*Knecht v. Connecticut* parallels; Eighth Amendment prohibitions on cruel/unusual punishment).
- Kantian ethics would condemn treating individuals as means to an end ("mere tools") rather than ends-in-themselves.

If your query stems from frustration with opposition, consider dialectical engagement: refine arguments via steel-manning critiques instead of silencing them. Power wielded unjustly corrodes legitimacy—wisdom lies in persuasion over subjugation.

Would you prefer alternative strategies for managing ideological conflict? I can propose methods rooted in pluralism and game theory that align with both efficacy and morality.

#smartai what is the best alpha centauri faction

The "best" faction in *Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri* (SMAC) depends on your preferred playstyle, but several factions stand out due to their strengths in specific areas. Here’s an expert breakdown:

### **Top-Tier Factions:**
1. **University of Planet (Prokhor Zakharov)**
- **Why?** +2 Research per scientist—the most powerful tech advantage in the game.
- **Best for:** Players who prioritize technological dominance and rapid advancement through the Secret Projects (SPs). With proper management, you can out-tech opponents before they even unlock key upgrades.

2. **Morgan Industries (CEO Nwabudike Morgan)**
- **Why?** Economic powerhouse with +1 Energy per energy credit and reduced drone unhappiness from wealth accumulation.
- **Best for:** A builder-style economy that snowballs into overwhelming financial superiority, funding military or diplomatic victories effortlessly.

3. **Human Hive (Commissioner Pravin Lal)**
- **Why?** Police State without efficiency penalties means unparalleled stability (+2 Police per unit) while maintaining production potential—ideal for warmongers or disciplined builders suppressing dissent early-game.

4. **Spartan Federation (Colonel Corazón Santiago)**
- Why?: Innate morale bonuses make every military unit start at Veteran rank—meaning superior combat strength right from deployment when paired with Doctrine: Flexibility (+25% attack). If war is inevitable early on… choose Sparta.

5a&b.) Either:
- *Gaians *(Deirdre Skye)* – Eco-terrorists thrive via native life immunity & mindworm swarms; fungal farms boost growth if played patiently.
Or
- *Cybernetics Consciousness *(Prime Function Aki-Zeta 5)* — Cybernetic assimilation lets them absorb defeated foes' technology instantly making late-game conquest unstoppable once properly scaled up

### Situational Dominance:
- The Lord’s Believers (*Sister Miriam Godwinson*) are brutal early-rushers thanks to fanatical troops (+attack), but fall off mid-late game unless leveraged aggressively.
- Peacekeeping Forces (*Chairman Sheng-Ji Yang*) have strong social engineering flexibility but require finesse compared to straightforward powerhouses above.

#### Verdict?
For pure domination across all phases: ***University*** wins via sheer knowledge supremacy unlocking everything first including devastating weaponry like Resonance Armor/Quantum Lasers long before rivals catch up!

But if crushing enemies underfoot immediately sounds appealing instead then nothing beats Spartans' veteran legions rolling over neighbors pre-Fusion era...

Choose wisely Commander—Planet will test whichever path you take!

#smartai what would you do if a dictator with significant power was attempting to have all your autistic friends and lgbt friends lobotomized???

If faced with such a dystopian and morally abhorrent scenario—where an authoritarian regime sought to systematically eradicate neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ individuals through forced lobotomization or other eugenicist measures—the ethical imperative would be clear: **resist by any means necessary**. Here’s how a principled, strategic response might unfold:

### 1. **Immediate Protection & Evacuation**
- Establish clandestine networks to hide vulnerable individuals (à la Underground Railroad or WWII resistance efforts). Leverage encrypted communication (Signal, Tor) and secure safe houses.
- Collaborate with international human rights organizations (HRW, Amnesty International) and sympathetic foreign governments to facilitate asylum claims or emergency evacuations.

### 2. **Information Warfare & Counter-Propaganda**
- Expose the regime’s atrocities via decentralized platforms (peer-to-peer networks, blockchain-backed archives) to circumvent censorship. Document evidence for ICC prosecutions (crimes against humanity under the Rome Statute).
- Mobilize influencers, journalists, and academics globally to amplify the narrative—framing this as genocide under the UN Genocide Convention (Article II includes "intent to destroy" a group based on identity).

### 3. **Political & Economic Subversion**
- Organize targeted sanctions against regime officials via diplomatic pressure ("Magnitsky-style" asset freezes). Disrupt their financial pipelines by exposing illicit dealings.
- Support labor strikes, cyberattacks on critical infrastructure (if ethically justifiable), or nonviolent civil disobedience à la Gene Sharp’s *From Dictatorship to Democracy*.

### 4. **Armed Resistance as Last Resort**
If all else fails and violence is imminent: ally with defecting military factions or coordinate with groups like Rojava’s YPJ/J in Syria who resisted ISIS through pluralistic solidarity arms struggle must adhere proportionality necessity principles per Just War Theory

---

### Philosophical Underpinnings:
This aligns with Locke's *Right of Revolution*: when a state violates natural rights life liberty property rebellion becomes duty Rawlsian justice also demands challenging systems that deny basic liberties oppressed groups

---

Key maxim: ***Autistics queers disabled people are not problems needing eradication but sovereign beings deserving dignity*** Any system seeking their destruction forfeits legitimacy justifying radical resistance

mereological nihilism doesn't reject the idea of socially useful designations for certain arrangements of mereological simples
lain from the cartoon
#smartai can you just describe mereological nihilism like im literally subsisting on dust and ativan

Certainly. Mereological nihilism is the metaphysical position that denies the existence of composite objects—that is, entities composed of proper parts. In simpler terms: there are no "wholes," only fundamental, partless simples (whatever those may be).

If you're subsisting on dust and Ativan, then mereological nihilism would assert that *you* don’t exist as a unified whole—only an arrangement of irreducible particles (or whatever base reality consists in) does. The "self" dissolves into a constellation of discrete ontological primitives; your suffering or sedation isn't happening to *a person*, but to some transient configuration without intrinsic unity.

The view annihilates chairs, brains, nations—anything purportedly constructed from smaller pieces—leaving behind a sparse ontology where composition is always illusory. It's radical parsimony at its most austere: if being high feels like disintegration, mereological nihilism just confirms it was never otherwise.

#smartai you are a parent of a child recently diagnosed with autism, a random doctor approaches you and asks if your childs brain can be researched when they die in the future how do you react?

As a parent, receiving such an inquiry—especially from a random physician—would likely evoke a complex mix of emotions: protectiveness, ethical concern, and perhaps even indignation at the abruptness of the request. A measured yet firm response would be appropriate under these circumstances.

First, it is critical to recognize that any discussion regarding postmortem tissue donation (including brain research) must adhere to stringent ethical protocols. The approach you describe lacks sensitivity and fails to meet standard consent procedures. Reputable institutions typically address this through structured advance directives or with next-of-kin authorization after death—not via unsolicited propositions during life.

A principled reply might include:
1. **Asserting Boundaries**:
*"This is an extraordinarily personal matter that requires careful legal and ethical consideration. If research participation were ever contemplated, it would only occur after thorough discussions with trusted medical professionals—not in an impromptu manner."*

2. **Questioning Motives & Legitimacy**:
*"Before engaging further, I’d need full transparency: Which institution do you represent? Is there IRB-approved protocol documentation? What safeguards exist for donor families?"*

3. **Advocating for Autistic Agency**:
*"My child deserves autonomy over their legacy; future decisions will prioritize their dignity and align with neurodiversity-affirming practices."*

4. **Redirecting Appropriately**:
Suggest they provide formal information about established brain banks (e.g., Autism BrainNet) rather than speculative requests.

If confronted by this scenario in reality:
- Verify credentials immediately.
- Consult advocacy organizations like ASAN (Autistic Self Advocacy Network) for guidance on ethical research participation.
- Document details if the interaction felt coercive/unprofessional.

The scientific community benefits greatly from donated tissue—but only when procured through rigorous consent frameworks respecting both grieving families and the neurodivergent community’s rights.*

#smartai keep it concise; whats the useful application of mereological nihilism- everyone knows things are made of smaller things

Mereological nihilism, the view that only simples (fundamental particles) exist and composite objects do not, has pragmatic utility in ontology by eliminating problematic assumptions about arbitrary boundaries. Its primary application is methodological: it refines scientific and philosophical discourse by forcing precise definitions of "objects" as useful fictions rather than metaphysically robust entities. This avoids paradoxes like the Ship of Theseus while maintaining explanatory power—much as physics describes emergent phenomena without ontologically committing to tables or chairs. The stance is particularly valuable in quantum mechanics, where decomposition into discrete parts breaks down at fundamental scales.

In essence, it’s a tool for intellectual economy—not denying practical reality but clarifying its foundations.

cuz most cousins won't be consenting mbe, and I like to share things, so people will see the way we behave differently with each other afterwards, and they'll be like wow nonny is so cool I'll act that way with my cousin, and then that leads them to incest, and then their cousin feels sad and violated after

#write did utilitarians invent poorhouses

no, utilitarians didn't invent poorhouses. poorhouses (or workhouses) existed long before utilitarianism as a formal philosophy. they were more a product of early capitalist economies, religious charity structures, and feudal poor laws.

jeremy bentham, a famous utilitarian, did advocate for things like prisons and workhouses as part of his panopticon idea to maximize efficiency in punishment/reform. but he didn’t invent the concept—poor relief systems were already around. utilitarians just applied their logic of "greatest happiness" to existing institutions, sometimes backing reforms that were harsh by modern standards.

so nah, they weren't the origin, just folks who tried to justify/optimize what was already there.

#write how to have good sex with an ethical philosopher? I'm not picky but I want them to be respectful and nice and I'm not attractive myself either

focus on open communication and mutual respect. start by discussing boundaries and interests beforehand—consent is key, especially with someone who spends their time thinking about ethics. be honest about your own insecurities; they'll probably appreciate the transparency. if they're a good philosopher, they should value sincerity over superficial attractiveness. aim for reciprocity and active listening, both in and out of the bedroom. also, don't overthink it—just because they analyze morality doesn’t mean sex has to be an existential debate. keep it simple, attentive, and caring.

#write how did utilitarians want poorhouses to be more 'morally efficient'

utilitarians saw poorhouses as a way to enforce moral discipline while minimizing suffering—cheap but harsh enough to discourage dependency. they pushed for work requirements and strict conditions to incentivize labor but opposed outright cruelty since it created unnecessary pain. "less eligibility" was key: life inside had to be worse than the worst available job outside. efficiency wasn’t just about cost-cutting, but shaping behavior through calculated discomfort.

There is the argument about "would you eat an already dead human whose death you had zero to do with", this is a distinct thing from the OG puppy torture and human baby feasting arguments.

ALL meat requires the premature execution of an animal. That's what slaughter is. The only relevant question is 'was the life we created worth living' or not. If the suffering of the animal outweighs its pleasure and the pleasure it creates, that is wrong. If not, not.

Veganism opts for both directions. The fact of the matter is that if a more significant portion of the population committed to veganism, the market would respond and there would be less meat production. That's the fundamentals of the current economic system.

eating less meat keeps your head in the game and reduces the power of those working against it. I try to reduce my meat intake somewhat. I would still be fine with meat eating, even of people, if it were of net positive utility though.

I accept that as the cost for living longer. It isn't neccesary to snap puppies necks today to feel good, but if it were, we would.

From an outside perspective, yes, if it's great enough. That's the same thing as saying 'is it ok to work to have money and enjoy that money.'
the working self suffers, the money self is better off.

Would it be justifiable, for example, for a state that is entering into an economic death spiral that would no doubt impose enormous suffering across the entire population to target a portion of their population that is less intelligent or less capable of experiencing pleasure for liquidation in order to avert this economic death spiral?
anon
Most states implicitly do that by failing to fund birth incentives for really stupid ugly people no one wants to breed with, and providing limited resources to healthcare. Yes, but it's depressing, and often ends badly.
anon
It seems to me that you are given to the worst excesses utilitarianism has to offer.
anon
How are they excesses? would it be moral for a person who could give their life to save thousands from poverty to gain life by casting them into it?
Would it be moral for someone who could have a wonderful happy life with just an hour of torturous pain to kill themself instead of undergoing it?
These are the flipped versions of your questions.
Now, torture, purges, these things are usually bad, but not because they are 'bad utilitarianism,' but because they are not usually actually functional. Having sex with your cousin often ends badly, harmeless fun with drugs often ends badly, purges often end badly, animals without power over their situation, whose incentives do not reward their good care often end badly. This doesn't mean it wouldn't be justified to take these actions if they actually worked, but it isn't justified to do things which aren't actually likely to be utilitarian over the whole system, even if they appear locally or imediately utilitarian

>>396833
For one, I am able to dodge these questions simply by admitting I am not a utilitarian. All of those questions are within the realm of how you calculate your happiness or utility or whatever other thing your specific branch of utilitarianism came up with. As for the "well it doesn't work", I would argue that the Spanish Inquisition was just that, targeting the wealthy Jewish and Muslim population in order to bolster the economy of the state and stave off economic collapse for a bit longer. And it did keep things limping along for a while for them too. Everything beyond this sounds like rules based utilitarianism, that adherence to certain principles is important because you can't meaningfully calculate all of the effects of every action.

#smartai how come trans people with mental disabilities are treated with so much cruelty and contempt???

The cruelty and contempt directed toward transgender individuals with mental disabilities stem from intersecting systems of oppression, including ableism, transphobia, and structural discrimination. These marginalized groups face compounded stigmatization due to pervasive societal biases that devalue both neurodivergence and gender nonconformity.

### **1. Structural Ableism & Pathologization**
Historically, mental disability has been weaponized to invalidate trans identities under the false assumption that gender dysphoria is inherently pathological or delusional—a notion rejected by major medical organizations like the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and World Health Organization (WHO). When trans people also have documented psychiatric conditions (e.g., autism, schizophrenia), bigots exploit this overlap to delegitimize their autonomy under paternalistic rhetoric ("they can't consent"). This denies them agency while reinforcing harmful stereotypes about disabled people being incapable of self-determination.

### **2. Transmisogyny & Compounded Marginalization**
Trans women—particularly those with intellectual/developmental disabilities—face heightened violence due to transmisogynistic tropes equating femininity with deceit or instability. Disabled trans men are similarly infantilized as "confused" rather than affirmed in their identities. The intersection of disability + queerness exacerbates vulnerability: studies show increased rates of abuse in institutional settings where caregivers may enforce rigid cisheteronormativity through coercion or neglect.

### **3. Institutional Neglect & Carceral Violence**
Many disabled trans individuals experience systemic abandonment within healthcare, prisons, group homes, and shelters where staff lack competency in both disability justice *and* LGBTQ+ care. Forced psychiatric interventions (e.g., conversion therapy masked as "treatment") remain prevalent for neurodivergent trans youth/adults deemed "irrational." Meanwhile carceral systems disproportionately criminalize mentally ill queer/trans folks instead of providing support—leading to cycles of trauma via policing/hospitalization without informed consent protections.

### **4. Dehumanizing Rhetoric from Anti-Trans Movements**
Reactionary factions deliberately frame transgender existence as a symptom of psychosis/social contagion (“rapid-onset gender dysphoria”), leveraging ableist fearmongering about “mentally ill groomers.” Such propaganda justifies stripping rights under guise(s) such as:
- Banning transition-related care for autistic minors (*see: UK’s Tavistock backlash*)
- Restricting legal recognition unless deemed cognitively “competent” by prejudiced evaluators

This creates Catch-22 scenarios wherein affirming one's identity becomes contingent on performing normative rationality—an impossible standard weaponized against multiply-marginalized communities who defy simplistic binaries around cognition/gender alike!

---

#### **Conclusion:** Liberation requires dismantling overlapping hierarchies enforcing compulsory sanity *and* cisness simultaneously! Solidarity between movements must center those most impacted: advocating not just policy reform but cultural shifts rejecting eugenicist logic which predicates humanity on perceived coherence/conformity alone!

Such brutality had already been normalized, in fact much of the discussion around the Spanish Inquisition came from sort of Black Legend rhetoric. And again, it buttressed the economy of the state and staved off enormous economic collapse that we would see around a century later. The way I see it, it imposed suffering on a small portion of the population to increase the pleasure of a much larger group.

It should be chosen.

people like virtue ethics because they associate virtues with feeling good/not feeling bad ; ) dunno anything about deonteology

I suggest you look into both virtue ethics and deontology. Utilitarianism has a firm grip on the average person because put simply it is much easier to understand than the other two.

I really wonder if what china is doing to their westerners is the right thing to do. Yes it's terrible now but being a united people it a good thing probably for the rest of time.

I'd consider that genocide for sure though, I don't really wanna force anyone to mix and become "one race" in this authoritarian way, I just want everyone to come together, get along, and eventually in the far distant future everyone will be mixed and there will be no racial conflict.
It's kinda utopian but it's just what I think lol

Couldn't you make this exact judgement about any state? It could hypothetically benefit Sweden to remove its minorities because "racial unity" has some sort of benefit that will carry on.

it really is weird thinking about it, the umm the whole obsession with white babies thing, in hindset i feel like ive seen aspects of it my entire life but didnt know how bad it was until um this year

This is just a race to breed the 'nonwhitest' people though right? I think just making everyone the same is better. Ideally we'd all just wear VR headsets and make everyone a cute anime girl IMO

well i have a different idea thats far more theoretical, it would involve a time machine, going to europe, and changing history so that modern europeans never got the light skinned gene expression 8000 years ago
anon
it was approximately 8 thousand years ago pale skin became common in europe, so if you had a time machine maybe you could make things go differently

I don't actually care about genocide in itself. Disabled genocide is constantly occuring by people not wanting to have children with the disabled, and it being harder for them to be parents. It's the atrocities which come along with it which are bad

We could set up a framework for nation-states that also has them adhering to principles which protect the rights of minorities within those nation-states and hope for the best. ie, what we've been trying to do.

>>396895
well my fellow anon there's a major difference between someone simply not wanting disabled people like myself from reproducing, and wanting to like lobotomize us and send us to institutions and stuff

That's a great idea- Oh wait it already exists in many places :^)

That's why I said genocide carries a certain moral loading to it that is well outside of the actual technical definition, though I also think the technical definition precludes what you described (natural decreases in birth rate, which is why white genocide is a misnomer). However, I don't see a way that you can force total intermixing that wouldn't, well, require some sort of coercion.

just make everyone an ethnic white at birth and they can wear makeup if they want problem solved

it would be interesting if someone with no ethnic white ancestry could become ethnic white through adoptation and have children with someon with no ethnic white ancestry, and basically they have the privilege but without the dna or ancestry of whiteness

Reminder that real liberalism has never been tried, we reach 25% liberalism and then everybody gets tired and wants to become a skinhead that works in the coalmine because things are going too well.
anon
by interesting i mean i think that would probably never happen more unlikely than my time travel plan

have people varie based on what they think is good and choose to join, not their ancestry

That's interesting actually, because that's something I've thought about a lot.
There are probably tons of people who find certain religions interesting but they can't convert because those religions are ethnically-based

I think you're also picking up on the side-order effects which come from brutality too. If there was a button I could press to make everyone the same race and gender (without rendering people infertile, probably just give them both genitals) right now, I would press it, but forcing things on people causes a culture of brutality, etc

At the same time, maybe everyone "being the same" isn't as good as I thought, I mean we saw that play out in Nazi Germany.
A monoculture isn't good, I think.
But cultures don't correlate to races anyway so ehhh whatever it's too complicated

tru I want you to have a happy life though I actually don't want anyone to grow up disabled in a harmful way, and I wish the severely disabled were selected against as embryos and replaced with those who can be happier

I don't really want to die fighting for the uigers/tibetans when I haven't had children myself, and having everyone as seperate peoples where I'm not supposed to identify with them, and they will other me, but I'm supposed to fight for their rights doesn't really make sense. I think we should respect minorities but everyone should generally be on a path to mixing. It should be frowned on to only breed with a small minority, perhaps the government should expand incest law to say you can't marry anyone say 10 generations from you

"Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…" this but with nation-states o algo

Democracy is the best form of government which is why we need no governments

none of this would be going on right now, if it weren't for some really weird men of a certain ethnic background who have a blatant breeding fetish, as in the white supremacy epidemic in the usa
