These are valid points, but you are OK with executing those that plead guilty? If not, then what you object to is different than what you originally stated as the reason. What I was referring to are cases in which DNA, video/audio recordings identities the suspect 100%. Of course letting a eandom always decide is one of the greatest stupidities of our modern “democracies”. There should be a heavy screening process, as there should be for voting. Otherwise idiocracy is inevitable.

Maybe this is more a problem with the horrific inefficiency of the prison system? Again, a problem of state incompetence. Just because it’s gonna cost a lot isn’t an excuse to potentially murder i...

I thought it’s not the State that decides, but a jury of citizens? Plus what of those who plead guilty? Lets do this: all prisoners, regardless of sentence, should be put to work to both repay their debt to fellow citizens plus ensure others are not forced to pay for their existence. Those that plead guilty have a choice: kill yourself, or stay in prison and work for free for society until they die of natural causes. Modern crime investigation tech practically eliminates doubt.

And the antithesis of this is the bolshevik mind. Abhors nature and natural law because they can’t control it. Think they are wiser than nature, which in their view is flawed, and needs improvement. Every single manifestation of this sick ideology shows a resentment against natural law and so wishes to destroy it, to control it by wrapping it in nice words like equality, freedom, “fraternité”. From aristocrats vs bourgeoisie, to women vs men, to gays vs straight, to trans vs “cis”, it all stems from the same resentment of something outside of their control, and so must be destroyed.

The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday is my daily read and I highly recommend it. https://m.primal.net/JYiQ.jpg

To ponder:
“Nietzsche rejected Stoicism because he saw its emphasis on tranquility and control over emotions as a denial of life's dynamic and passionate aspects. He believed in embracing life's struggles and passions, not retreating into calm detachment.”

Nietzsche is favourite of mine. I have read most of his books and do agree with much of his philosophy. Taking from different philosophical ideas and creating your own personal perspective is my path. I do not adhere to any one in particular. 💕 & 🕊️

I don’t think this touches on the main issue with representative democracy- the scam that has been running since the French Revolution. The main issue is in this system we are only allowed to choose our temporary parents, who will make the decisions for us. And so the parasitic ruling class (as opposed to a true aristocratic class) continues to rule.

As means of communication have increased in reach, we see people are generally not better informed. The means of mind manipulation have simply increased in reach and strength.

The issues with democracy have been debated since Aristotle, and they are not tied to means of mass communication. I think there are a few simple steps to take to fix them:

Voting age increased to 26. Most people, including myself, are still morons at 18. At about 26 you start having long term goals in mind, more life experience and hopefully have left adolescence behind.

No voting rights if you haven’t paid taxes for the last 5 years straight.

We abolish the left-right wing nonsense by letting us vote directly on issues, not for “representatives”. A system of a party of one.

These three points alone would cut 95% of government bloat, end the left/right circus which keeps us in the illusion of democracy and slaves in the taxation plantation.

I don’t understand what this tactic is supposed to solve? We need to stop being afraid, and start getting 1000% more angry. Their power is a house of cards, this will show the moment a critical mass of people will simply refuse to comply. With ridiculous laws, with the current taxation levels, with the immense bloat of government. Stop fearing these parasites. Destroy them with unity.
