Governments are the largest mistake in human history. We've never had a genuinely well-intentioned and effective one. Those who took control took advantage of human laziness and used it for conquest. We're seeing the same situation today. With the same same consequences. 🤷♂️

I’ve heard compelling arguments explaining that monarchies are more effective. They’re not ideal, but at least with a monarch they need to try and keep the people happy so that their progeny can continue ruling under the same people. With our democracy/republic, the president is incentivized to milk the people as much as possible during his term because the next guy will have to deal with the problems. And the people hold the illusion that the next guy they vote for will fix the problem.
Wrong again! I shouldn't even have to explain this. 🙄
What is wrong? I’m not advocating for monarchy. Just saying I’ve heard some convincing arguments that it is better than what we currently have.
