!["Masculine republics give way to feminine democracies, and feminine democracies give way to tyranny." -- Aristotle [958x957 - 594KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/Gwh4pI.png){kind=link}
Is it really "masculine" to let someone else (i.e., a representative) make choices on your behalf, rather than being a man and making those choices for yourself and your family? No one is going to represent you better than you represent yourself. In addition, any man made a representative of more than one person cannot faithfully represent the priorities and values of every person equally, and will have to make trade-offs.
Republicanism is emasculation, democracy is straight up faggotry, and tyranny is just the logical consequence of both.
is it really masculine to have such a limited world view that you devolve yourself to ideals that won't be tolerated in reality? try your strategy and you'll be conquered within 2 weeks. if you need to form groups to defend yourself from other groups you need representatives.
You're saying I need to remain conquered in order to defend myself from being conquered. Do you see the inherent flaw in your logic?
no you're just stupid. one is a rep of your bloodline who must somewhat maintain your support, the other is just purely dominating you. stop talking fucking shit idiot. even as chimps we had a leader of the pack. pointless idealism detached from reality is the level of talk women and children engage in.
Masculine in the context of mommy gov doesn't need to wipe your ass, aka small gov.
Even so-called "small" or "limited" government is still babying the citizenry. What is a limited government supposed to do? Provide for domestic security, provide a medium of exchange, provide a legal system for addressing grievances, right?
Are men so weak that they can't figure out how to do these things themselves and have to form a government to coerce their neighbors into accepting their shitty solution to these issues?
There is no reason why we can have multiple, competing legal systems. In fact, we already have private arbitration, and centuries' worth of case law.
There is no reason why we can't provide for our own defense, forming militias in our own local communities and teaching our children how to defend themselves instead of being little bitches who sit in their rooms playing video games all day pretending to be soldiers.
There is no reason why we need to say "this is money and nothing else is!" because the free market does this for us. We don't even need a single currency. Europe got by just fine before the Euro, where each country had its own currency. Everyone knew the exchange rates and could easily convert their currency, and the prices of items in common tourist areas were just listed in two or three currencies. When I was in Switzerland a few years ago, items were priced in Euros and Swiss Francs. Not a big deal.
Small government is just when men give up some of their responsibility to work within their communities and find solutions to their problems, and it always, always leads to tyranny -- to a small group of sociopaths, narcissists, and apparently pedophiles taking more and more power until everyone becomes their slaves.
Exactly.
What weak men have done is trade their God given rights for state given rights only to discover that unlike God, states can take those rights away.
We are better off with no government just a recommendation / guidance committee.
We are slaves to the government because they have a monopoly on force.
This is the real reason protestors are going to extreme efforts to be peaceful aka submissive.
