BlujayoooZarp Ruler of the Universe
The Universe only became efficient when wealth accumulated to a few googolionaires who turned it into a fascist state.
They made the trains run on time.
I mean if there is such a thing as a “ruler of the universe” then collecting votes should be possible at the snap of a finger because it suggest that there are beings that can transcend light speed information transmission. Otherwise that ruler wouldnt be much of a ruler, because none of his actions would ever reach anyone within their lifetime.
With our current understanding of the universe, there is no such thing as events happening at the same time unless they are in the same intertial reference frame. So, even the “snap of a finger” doesn’t make sense as you’ve described it, because that insinuates that all votes are collected across the universe at the same time as the snap, despite the extremely different reference frames.
NatanoxIt requires very wrinkly brains to understand this though. People who argue for creationism as well as against democracy usually have very smooth, polished brains.
That doesn’t really contradict what the person before you said.
At least according to our current understanding the universe has a pretty harsh speed limit and with that it’s pretty much impossible to govern a multi-star empire, let alone a galactic or universal one.
Even the closest other star to us would have a round trip time of 8.5 years at light-speed. That’s maybe good enough for a self-governed colony for resource extraction, but in no way is that fast enough for any form of direct government, and that’s at light speed.
If Bush sent a message to the colony in the last half year of his government time, the response would appear during Trump’s tenure.
And if we consider that light speed travel is difficult and only reach, say, 0.2c, that’s a round-trip time of 42.5 years. That means, something sent during Nixon’s last months would arrive during Trump’s first term.
No way to govern like that. And without the actual threat of military showing up in any relevant time frame, also the concept resource extraction from a colony is very unlikely to hold up. Same with trade in general. That’s just far too slow.
And that’s just with the nearest star.
“Ruler of the Universe” is inherently impossible, regardless of political system, unless we’ve vastly misunderstood something about physics.
I mean, forget 320 million years. The observable universe is 93 billion light years in diameter, but the universe is only 14 billion years old. Just to communicate one way with the observable universe would take 46 billion years, much older than the age of the universe. But in the meantime, the universe keeps expanding.
If there is no way to communicate even a single law to the universe, then it is impossible to have any system of government spanning the entire universe.
LibertyLizardWhat’s with this fascist propaganda?
Seems like this comic basically wants to be a cuter version of stonetoss
I just checked out stonetoss cuz I’d never heard of it.
They’re both not worth the electricity I used viewing them lmao.
SanctusNot sure where you were going with this one but democracy is and always will be the shit
This comic is routinely terrible trash.
I gave this comic the benefit of the doubt so far. Clumsy, often missing its own joke, but ok. Everyone starts out small.
But now we are in the territory of fascist propaganda and suddenly it’s no joking matter anymore.
I will not be reading this comic anymore.
I said before to keep trying and maybe one day you’d make a funny comic, but it really just isn’t happening. This is worse than unfunny, though. You should probably stop.
There are faster localized versions of democracy, like anarcho syndicalist collectvisation.
Also, anarchism in general isn’t always going to result in democracy.
First stage communism is often described as a Dictatorship of the Proletariat, which would be a democracy for workers but not other people.
CyberSyn in Brazil was designed to distribute resources automatically.
What I’m saying is there are other modes of organisation.
So clearly a comic that’s only vaguely anti-democracy (in that a democracy as large as the universe would be slow) isn’t automatically advocating Fascism (a specific type of malady.
I’ve never noticed this comic being political, it tends to be childish and fun… So I guess I just don’t agree with the assumptions others are making on this one.
My dude this ain’t it.
Maybe you’d benefit from an editor, or a break …?
