Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Most people online seemingly prefer to live in a shit hole without any infrastructure at all then to discuss how to fix their government to reduce waste of tax money...

The fix is easy. Guillotines. Corrupt politicians. CEOs. Anyone with a net worth over a certain amount.

Off with their heads.

Well? Would it really be the worst idea, moving forward??

It wasn't called the Reign of Terror for nothing dude. It was an awful idea that created a lot of innocent suffering.

Guillotines

As a Klingon, this feels like an acceptable answer.

Guillotines...

I would remind you that the people who started the reign of terror by calling for and lopping off the heads of the nobility ended up taking La Monte-à-regret (The Regretful Climb) themselves.

Well yes, because what really happened was one upper class being replaced by another. The workers/lower class was exploited throughout, and that never changed.

Politicians are supposed to be representatives of the people, but no matter where you live right now, they're owned by corporations, and champion corporate interests. Corporations are not our friends. Thus by extension, politicians aren't either.
