@lonelystone @QasimRashid >> This is what happens when the rules are written with the assumption that everyone will act in good faith

When you get down to it, that’s a baseline assumption in all rules in all forms of government and they all kind of fall apart eventually.

Agree. At this point, I think the logical thing to do is remove cishet males from all forms of power. They're had thousands of years to get it right and have consistently fucked up and done genocides over and over. It's clear that they suck at the job.

Not sure women would do better but we should definitely give it a go while the bar is this low.

@obscurestar @MisuseCase @lonelystone @QasimRashid history shows several vicious, ruthless, female dictators. Not having a dick doesn’t prevent someone from becoming one. Spread out the power to the masses and they will peacefully wield it, consolidate it down and eventually someone will have enough that they don’t need to compromise. Then they’ll want it all.
