    This is exactly what happens with democratic societies. Majority somehow can decide for the rest of sane people how to live, behave and be quiet when you think differently. People have been trained to stick with a herd. Anarchy has a lot of advantages to it. Individual decisions matter as long as you apply Non Aggression Principles. Anarchy doesn’t mean no rules, but no rulers. People don’t create wars, governments do. Government robs you by the way of taxation for everything and then create crazy national debts and tax you even more (tarrifs). The previous ruler (Biden) brought all these migrants over and current Mango Mussolini created a solution enforcing real IDs, biometric scanning, total surveillance of your personal wallet. Soon enough CBDC will be introduced. There is no deep state, there is only the state and two party illusion.

      No. This is what happens when you have two sides, both too large to really represent anyone, battling for a sliver of majority using increasingly diverging views and then exercising as much power as they can before the roles flip again.

      In an actual democracy representatives of the people, with many differing views, sit down together and decide case by case on a solution that most can be happy with.

      Someone will always disagree with any decision when we live in a large society, but a functioning democracy is the closest thing we have ever come to making sure that as many as possible are happy (and more importantly get a say).

        Unfortunately exactly this outcome is the inevitable result of a FPTP voting system combined with political parties. The most stable arrangement of such a system is a two party system, and once it reaches that point the winning party becomes the one willing to take the most extreme position from the other party.

        The only way to fix this is to do away with FPTP and replace it with a proportional voting system that will allow for multiple political parties to be viable and encourage the major parties to seek moderate positions rather than extremes.

          Absolutely agree! First past the post will always drift toward larger and less representative parties. Even proportional representation can have this tendency, but it is much more resilient.

          Indeed! And they do under representational democracies. In a community there will always be some sort of law or code, whether written or not, that some members of that community disagree with.

            I didn’t vote in “selection”. Cause I can’t let someone else to decide how I should live. Involuntarily taxation is theft. No victim - No crime!
