i have been thinking, who really benefits from Patriarchy. man in general or the small group of elites who survive a male genocide?
cuz if we are to believe the definition " a system or government controlled by man. " Does the average man really control it? some men don't really need patriarchy to drive, they are just born with blessed genetics.
and the only one who do not die in war are sons of the aristocracy, am willing to bet none of does sons received a white feather. they got a blowjob
@RodrickSage Asking who benefits from Patriarchy is the same as asking who benefits from capitalism. It all depends on the people. If the men/consumers are few and strong, then they will enforce their individualist will/vote with their wallet and most will benefit.
If however, the men are many and weak, they will bend the knee to the government/oligopolies and the power will shift towards the elites.
Patriarchy and capitalism are no guarantee of anything, they are just necessary foundations.
@Based_Accelerationist i understand patriarchy is nation, a strong male can kill the weak males, and just take the females, in nature.
the same thing happens when a war slaughter 3/4 of all man, but from that 1/4 who really hold all the power? the .05% will still have to live under the .01% that control the system and the .04% that protect that .01%.
@RodrickSage @Based_Accelerationist - In preindustrial days, govt was very limited, out of necessity and technological limitations. If a king wanted to spy on people, he would have to send someone to do that. He would have to pay them. And he'd have to send a second spy, to spy on the first spy.
There certainly wouldn't be an IRS, or automatic payroll deductions. There wouldn't be fiat currency, and probably no banks.
The result would be, more freedom all around - and more responsibility too.🍻

it's all about the KEYS!, KEYS!, KEYS!,
@RodrickSage @Based_Accelerationist - I'm anticipating the loss of electricity, petro-energy, mass transit, and mass communication. All of that is pretty much guaranteed if 3/4 of men die (which I would also expect).
Nominally, yeah most of the 1/4 of men left, would have to bow to someone - their local warlord, their king, their commune (if they're both lucky and stupid enough to be commie survivors).
But what would that entail, exactly? 🤔
