So I am not going to fret over "AUTOCRACY BAD" when having a democratic system (fake or real) is not making for a free system either. Having many different slave drivers that you "vote" on does not make the slavery any better than having it under one slave driver.

Having a singular ruler with all the power means that there is a single point of failure. His rule will either be great or terrible based on his actions alone.

But what can be done when the problem is entrenched among many different groups and individuals? You are dealing with many heads of the hydra, unable to solve anything politically with the vote (which can and has often been stolen).

And to make matters worse, many in power are unelected and not even check by the fake voting anyways.

Just because you can "vote" for candidates that make rules on your behalf does not magically make the tyranny non-existent. It just makes it more difficult to dispose of the tyrannical system because it does not simply come down to taking down a single ruler.

In the US, even if Joe Biden were to croak tomorrow, it would not change one thing. That is because he is not the problem, the whole government infrastructure is, as those who are pulling the strings can hide quite easily in the shadows.

Something just occurred to me when doing my daily reconnaissance listening to the daily libshit "news" from NPR. They had a segment on the election in Turkey, being all melodramatic about "autocracy" if Erdogan wins. Then it hit me, their stoking fears about "autocracy" and all that is just a smokescreen to cover for the current globohomo tyranny that is taking place in countries like America.

So long as we have "muh democracy," it apparently makes government tyranny fine.

@DW2 Hold up. He admits that the election was attempted to be undone by people in our own government, but apparently some of the same people and other people in the government later conspiring to steal the next presidential election is a bridge too far to believe.

If you want to know what killed my patriotism, it was our own government deciding that they can just overtly lie to us so brazenly, while expecting me to accept their rule.

@basedbagel "But cops have guns, so it will not matter if she is not as strong as men."

Or maybe "Women are better at communicating, and many male cops are too quick to use violent tactics instead of communicating. So we should have more female cops!"

I recall hearing that female cops are more likely to shoot that male cops, because no surprise, they are smaller and more likely to feel threatened. So with more female cops, expect more death-by-cop.

@Pain66 Also, how much does anyone want to bet that she will not be willing to have a kid with him? That is also a sign that she does not really want a man if she does not see having children with him as desirable.

She can say she is all done having children, but that would not be true if she was with a man she desired more.

@Pain66 He found out that he was needed but not wanted. And when you find out that the only reason you were ever given a chance was because she was a single mom, you realize that you would never be her first choice. He found out in quite a brutal way, though he really should have already known.

And no, she is not going to salvage any relationship here. She already showed how low of an opinion she has of this man.

@pleasesaybye This better be satire. But knowing reddit users, I cannot give them the benefit of the doubt.

Elon Musk is a great example of why you should not place too much hope into one man being the hero to save the day. It seems like there is always some sort of backtracking, setback, or rug pull when it comes to his ownership of Twitter. Whether or not anything gets as bad as many people think, if you do not place much emotional investment in "based Elon Musk saving the day," you will not be disappointed.

It is best not to uphold anyone too much as a hero anyways. Too many eggs in one basket.

@WashedOutGundamPilot This is also why many men laugh in the face of the women who became single mothers and start dropping signals of interest towards them when many of those exact same women previously ignored them when they had options. It becomes extremely obvious that she views you as only a utility when it takes her having another man's child for her to even consider you as a sexual being.

"Why am a suddenly good enough now that you are a single mom?" That is the question many men ask.

@WashedOutGundamPilot >How can I show my husband I appreciate him

The problem is she is trying to figure out a way to lie to him and possibly herself here, as she does not truly appreciate her husband. She needed her husband, but did not truly want him.

I suspect he is lying when he says he is only "kinda" upset, because once you get the bomb dropped on you that you are not wanted but she only looked your way out of desperation, there is no coming back from that.
