Authoritarians, Assemble!

[Engleberg]

As an absolute monarchist, I guess you could say authoritarianism exists within it.

It just works so much better than democracy, which allows any schmuck to change the government.

If it were possible (and it's not), I'd be in favour to a POINT to have an enlightened absolute monarch, one that was liberal in their views, tolerant, was pro-science, allowed nearly all freedoms, just without the terrible points of democracy (e.g. allowing someone like Trump to be elected).

Even in an Absolute monarchy. Any old Schmuck can change the government. It's just a lot more unpleasant for the guy in office because it involves violating their structural integrity until they're rendered non-repairable.

President shouldn't do much they should be functionaries responsible for oversight. Tasks are for specialists. That's how it is in a corporation.

That's a very strange euphemism for decapitation.

As opposed to a schmuck being handed an entire nation to rule with unlimited authority all because his dad was the previous ruler? Assuming the counterpoint would be said schmuck would be raised form birth to be a ruler, but I think everyone knows you can't guarantee how someone is going to turn out.

[MERIZoC]

Sadly, the authoritarian assembly was dispersed due to a violation of protest laws.

[MERIZoC]

I'm here, what's the meeting about.

I'm a sort of blanket authoritarian in that I approve of authoritarianism in general, though I prefer religious authoritarianism over the other forms. All government and statehood is based upon force and violence, authoritarian countries just don't hide it. Subjects should be ruled by the government, not the other way around. There must always be rulers to rule, and subjects to obey the rulers.

What if the ruler says everyone must be trans

I was trying to come up with something to cover all the common forms of execution of former monarchs. Firing Squad, Decapitation, Etc.

Power to the people! Tear the fascists down!

Why do so many people think that they deserve the privilege of dictating public policy and influencing the State when most are so politically illiterate?
How many people in this thread believe in rights as a concept, as opposed to privileges granted by the State and taken when necessary?

Well that's treason. That's not allowed.

I don't believe that I am in my current position or maturity, for I am not experienced enough to lead a nation.

I don't think he was actually asking you whether you thought you were fit to be a leader. It was a tad rhetorical or just asking generally speaking, it seems, not specifically to you.

Well he stated "Why do so many people think that they deserve the privilege of dictating public policy and influencing the State when most are so politically illiterate?"

This seemed like a question pertaining to the people who are authoritarian as to why they would think they were fit, and so I answered it as such.

The issue being, the state exists at the pleasure of those who support it. While it can often get by one the benefits it offers to those who remain loyal, any state that the entirety of it's population is united against will fall. Without question.

Rights are Rights because it's generally recognized that enough violating them leads to state officials getting violently removed from office. Which is just bad for business.

I interpreted it as the opposite, as in "why enfranchise most people, when most are politically illiterate?"

Then said ruler would objectively be a failure and shouldn't be listened to. You should obey your rulers, but not if they instruct societal suicide.
