A reasonable small group of so called 'people' are making life terrible for soo soo many

We really need a better system, voting can do only so much and look where it got us. again

Remember, we are with a lot more

Don't fight each other, fight the few who try to make things worse for their gain

Don't get me wrong, voting is one of the few things we can do but we need more guard rails somehow

It's crazy that a mad man like Hitler or Trump can be voted into office and dismantle everything from within

That's not how it should work!

Personally I despise "alone rulers" with stupid titles like kings, presidents, or dictators

We need people to keep people in check, we have proven that over and over again

Fuck the alone ruler

@stux
The conservatives have been at this "unitary executive" lark for decades.
@screwturn Maybe because they somehow lack the ability to think for themselves 🤔

@stux
They actually ache for a monarchy, but also the "savior hero" archetype is very common all across the US.

People on both sides think more in terms of a hero sweeping in to save us, than ordinary people collaborating to solve things

@stux @screwturn current society gives so little space for people or organise for mutual benefit. Either you're a consumer, an employee, a boss. But almost never you're just another member of a group making or creating something.

There's so few situations where people need to work together on a basis of mutual interest and equality. Skills we all need to learn.

@marijn

It's interesting that civic participation - clubs, guilds, fraternities, societies, etc has been in decline for over a century. Year on yeat, decade on decade, people join and participate in fewer and fewer civic activities
