I don't know if it is worse to be a leftist with all his wrong economic theories or a right-winger who defends the monarchy.
Both are clearly dangerous stupid people.
Discussion
I will never understand people who defend the monarchy.
Just look go back in history. When have the monarchy if put the people first.
Don’t agree with it but the theory is that it’s superior to democracy because at least a king has lower time preference.
It comes from Hyack’s theories that essential state: Anarchy > Monarchy > Democracy
Oh I think we can agree that Democracy is the worst. But I still believe Monarchy is terrible.
Meritocracy and free markets is the best imo. But I am an idealist. Probably never happen in my life time if ever.
I’m so glad I graduated to complaining about the money
Through nostr:npub15vzuezfxscdamew8rwakl5u5hdxw5mh47huxgq4jf879e6cvugsqjck4um's podcast I’ve heard some thorough philosophical takes why monarchies can be more resilient than democracies
True.
Essentially: Monarchs have more skin in the game.
They’re both statists
It's saddening how unimaginative people are. We're living in the 21st century and people are wondering which ancient system of governance which have failed over and over again would be preferable to be used in the future. The possibilities to create something different with the help of technology are truly amazing. Why put your faith in a state run by one guy or by a bunch of criminals?
What do you suggest?
I zapped and liked your post but all I was trying to do was to open it with my fat fingers 😂
Combine anarcho-capitalism with bitcoin and modern technology and you already have a few options.
The state is like a corporation or a criminal organisation, if you have to live under one, think of how it can be run to ensure it serves the people.
I'm not suggesting any specific solution, I'm hoping to see 100s of different ways of organising society and for the best ideas to be adopted while the bad ones to fail
The reality is the bad ones are sometimes really good at stealing resources from the good ones and then using violence to ensure a compliant customer base for their "services".
Yeah, you're right. That's why it's sometimes hard to be optimistic that the future of our species will be different from its past
I'd say we should rely more on our intelligence to counter the violence but humans have shown too many times that even idiot politicians can outsmart them 😁
The only thing I've seen that reduces violence is strong property rights and free trade. I'd say optimize for those two and we are heading in the right direction.
C'mon dude. Democracy does not work. Because I have never bent to any rules and never will. And you are the same. And we are the smart ones. Normies will always be a majority, and will always keep creating stupid rules, and thus will keep forcing us to abuse them by breaking their own stupid rules. It is that simple. This leaves us with two options:
1. Go back to tribal times with zero work specialization.
2. Live in autocratic as small as possible units. So it is kinda monarchy, except forget the few democratic / religious attributes they used to have: inheritance, funny dressing, and all that. Whatever the ruler says - happens. As long as he has enough bitcoin or weapons to make it happen.
And leftism is not nust about economics. The more you give them the more they want. They are the true fascists. They keep hiding under their vietue signaling and rules and collectivism and so on, but it is never good enough for them, because essentially they want to keep saving their own energy, being last, looking awful, weak, stupid, but at the same time they want nobody else to be better, prettier, smarter, stronger, happier, wealthier than them. So they want to be slightly above everyone else not by spending their own energy and getting there, but by pushing everyone else down. This is against the laws of nature. Leftism is the worst of everything, not a comparison with anything at all. It is anti-nature, it is the Satan himself.
