Have you ever stopped to think about how we can have governance without politicians? Shit have you ever thought?

The same is true everywhere, throughout history ...... individual "bastards/psychopaths" are not what produces the societies in which they rule, they are a product of their societies.

Turning one's anger/rage toward politicians (whether it be one individual politician or a group of them) is precisely what people like George Carlin and Emma Goldman point out is part of what allows it all to continue happening, and it has been going on since the beginning of time.


However, if you think otherwise, then we're just going to have to disagree on this.

Given the past few presidents, we should be very concerned about out society.

direct participatory democracy, aka anarcho-syndicalism or anarcho-communism, is a thing.

Hey fucktard. I never said that we do not need politicians, just that they have been pieces of shit, necessary pieces of shit but still pieces of shit. You know, like moderators.

We might get there eventually. Policy questions with vote response requests sent directly to our phone/device.

But we will still need bureaucrats, negotiators, etc to deal with other heads of state.




There are good politicians as well, they just often get drowned out or washed out by the system.

That will happen when you have windbags like myself chiming in with my rat's ass of an opinion on almost everything.

Apologize for this non football stuff. My last post on this. C&O, my point was not that politicians are responsible for all the ills in the world. My point were they are part of the problem and are assholes. My whole point is that the likes of Stalin etc were shitheads. You are arguing with me about things I agree with you on. Doesn't matter anyway, just my opinion which is meaningless in the big picture. I have no rage, just an opinion of another brother windbag.

What about if you hate Trump, Biden and every fucking douchebag puppet the establishment has installed the last 6 decades? Hell the last real conservative president the last 30 years was a fucking democrat (Clinton) he very much governed as a conservative leaning centrist.
