It won't remove the capital G but, it might motivate you to migrate your block list.

It's true, I told myself I'd post more often but, lurking is a habit.

Sounds like classic liberal type shit. I guess that's the point of the post, the center right liberals are always going to be right wing.

Right, they wanted a Republic free from the monarchy. That was how I understood it.

To the best of my knowledge the left does not want a monarchy. The right definitely does want a monarchy.

I guess having a monarchy might have changed the dynamic a bit.

I have pretty honest conversations with my kid. He is pretty bright and I can explain things to him.

A while back we had a conversation about weed. I told him it's just a plant that grows, gets harvested, processed and smoked. Since, he's still single digits in age, I told him it's an herb. I didn't really want him screaming "weed!" If he smelled it outside.

I'm nervous about him growing up today. It's a scary world out there, alls' I can do is try and teach him about it.

I was told it was because of the French revolution. Imho, I think the terms are mostly rigid concepts.

Iirc they largely rolled into the Republican party. Which is what might happen to a large majority of Democrat politicians that lean center right, if the party actually becomes Democratic again.

This was fundamentally my argument. It would be preferable for things to get better under liberal democracy.

That isn't the case and by many people's estimation could never be the case. This is juxtaposed with the idea things can only get better with the degradation of the current world order.

Thanks for talking with me. Best of luck in the coming years.

Last two questions and I'll be done bothering you.

Do you believe we can achieve those systems with our current world order? (Liberal-facsism)

How do you implement direct democracy and scale it without interference from the capital class?

I'm a big fan of anarchism and socialism but, it's still my opinion that the best way for us to achieve those systems are a transitionary period emerging from a liberal democracy. I feel all other ways will be orders of magnitude worse for humanity.

I think I got it now, from your perspective liberal democracy is only this abusive dynamic. A dynamic, in your estimation, that can never lead to a more equitable and democratic system.

Which system could we expect to live under that would reform or dismantle the capitalist order? Dystopia?

I only ask, if it can't be done under a liberal democracy, what system would this task require?

I did my daughter's ponytail (self.dull_mens_club)
 

I did my daughter's ponytail, unprompted, much to my wife's surprise. She loved it and I felt like I was taking a zen garden.

She needed to redo my work but, was still proud of myself.
